"The place itself was clean, proper and relaxing. The staff provide a clear direction to the place. The morning view was nice, although the sea is quite far from the location. The facilities provided inside the place itself is comprehensive and met all our needs. The good things aside, you need to be really mindful on your travel group. The location is in second floor (no lift). When we first arrived, there's also a dog that chasing us on ground floor. So this area is also no go for those who scared of dog. "
