"The sea view is very nice. The hotel breakfast is also very tasty and their alacarte menu for dinner etc is also very tasty. The reception staff and housekeeping staff are very nice and very very helpful. They really try their best.

"An excellent place to stay. Clean and comfortable with three swimming pools and a game room that had ping pong and foosball. Unfortunately, there can be some noise from a nearby hotel with live music, but it doesn't seem to last very late. The timbo hotel itself was quiet. The buffet breakfast was excellent with many choices for vegetarian and vegan guests including soy milk."
