The best resort I have ever stayed at.
My husband and I went to the St. Regis Bora Bora for our honeymoon. This was better. For the record, I've been Starwood Platinum for years and have stayed at a ton of properties. None have impressed me as much as this.
ROOM: We had a sea view room, room 249. One of my favorite rooms ever. Not very large, but smartly designed. An awesome corner couch that is super comfortable overlooking the ocean. The bathrooms come with a tub. The bed is very large. There are cushions to put your luggage on top of. Minimalist without being overly so.
BREAKFAST: Hands down, the best buffet / hotel breakfast I've ever been to. Where do I even begin?
- All eggs are made to order. There are no trays of premade eggs! And, you can get poached eggs to order
- 15 sauces for your pancakes / waffles! Vanilla sauce, chocolate sauce, male syrup, honey, jams, everything you can possible want
- Tons of cuisines. You can get traditional Western (bacon, sausage, hash brown), traditional Chinese (congee with all the fixings including centuries old egg), traditional Malay, traditional Indian, Halal, and then spreads upon spreads - lox, crudités, yogurts, and more
BEACH: Super soft sand, bath temperature ocean water
LOUNGE CHAIRS: Tons of different seating options. The traditional wicker loungers were some of the best we've ever laid on. They have tons of daybeds and lounge seating. There is no paying extra fees to get a good view or a group seat.
HAPPY HOUR: 20-30% off, depending on the temperature in Celsius
WILDLIFE: Out of this world. Tons of rare species including the world's only flying primates. Free guided nature walks
PRICING: For Americans. This will feel cheap. $20 for getting two appetizers and two drinks at the pool. $40 for dinner for two.
POINTS: At 12,000 SPG points, I think this is the best price/value redemption in the world
We really cannot imagine a better resort or any way to improve on this experience. This is the best getaway experience in the world
