I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were very tired and old, with cleanliness issues like a dirty bathroom. However, the amazing view from the balcony at sunrise and the nice breakfast lifted the stay up. The service needed improvement but had some bright spots like always-friendly staff. The location was good for beach lovers though not as close to the beach as expected. The dining options were varied and enjoyable, with good selection.

I found the hotel to be in a superb location, overlooking one of the pools and minutes away from the beach and restaurants. Though the rooms are small, they are on the top floors with a lovely view. The service was delightful, but I noticed they seem to cater more to those with white skin. The dining experience was brilliant with a variety of delicious foods. Overall, a nice hilltop hotel with some room for improvement.

The hotel had spacious and clean rooms with a huge double bed, great air conditioning, and a pool view. The check-in timing was a bit inconvenient for early arrivals. The location was good, close to the beach and local amenities, although a bit far. The service was top-notch with helpful and cheerful staff, though there was a slight discrepancy in pricing. The dining options were satisfactory but with some shortcomings. Overall, a comfortable stay with friendly service in a convenient location.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms are so nice, just a five-minute walk to the beach with many shops around. The swimming pool is fantastic, and the bar has everything you need. We especially enjoyed the breakfast with a great variety of food. Thanks to Noky Sake Boy for taking care of us. The only downside was the noise and the long walks to get to the room, but with the Oceanview, it was worth it; the rooms are well-appointed, spacious, with good views, and superbly serviced.

My stay at this hotel was absolutely delightful. The staff, especially Ji, Yang, and Best, went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. The rooms were superb, and the view of Kara Beach was outstanding. There were some hair strands on the floor, though.
