This resort has nice seaview but very small area of beach that allowed you to play. Decided to stay at Sutera Harbour instead of Shangrila because of the bouncy castle at the pool. However, the bouncy castle is not operating all the time; attached the operation time for reference. Further, on the first day of arrival, the bouncy castle was not operating from 4pm - 6pm. On d second day, it was also not operating during 12pm - 2pm. So it was a big disappointment. Luckily, my boy got to play from 4pm - 6pm. Checked in is slow but staffs are friendly. Notice that there are many Chinese tourists staying in the hotel however all the staffs that i encountered do not speak Chinese at all. I wonder why the hotel do not employ staff that be able to speak Chinese since there are so many Chinese tourists staying. Hotel provides shuttle to shopping malls and city centre which is very convenient.

Magnificent view! It's been awhile my family n I enjoy so much the hotel and the hotel facilies Our 3d2n, we spent most of our meal in hotel, superb!! Only comment, the bfast buffer too crowded, some staff shown frustration on face, especially on the egg station. Waited so long just to get some eggs. The rest r great! Oh ya, the private beach is just merely a small corner, not even a beach!

Really awesome to spend some leisure time there. Really enjoy the green view inside hotel. Some facilities are a bit old like the toilet problem which also mentioned by others. And not easy to call delivery food, almost impossible. In general it was an enjoyable stay.

The only beach .small beach is full of garbage…. Nobody clear it? The flush toilet in the room is not good. I can see my own **** swirling around. Then it sinks and floats up again.
Response from Property: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay with us. We sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you experienced during your visit. SuteraHarbour Resort is a friend to the environment and we practice stringent upkeep of our beach as well as the surrounding areas.Unfortunately,as vigilant as our team has been in maintaining the cleanliness of the Resort, garbage from the sea washes up to the shores more frequently than we expected. Your feedback is invaluable as it helps us enhance our services and facilities. We hope you will consider giving us another opportunity to provide you with a more pleasant experience on your next visit.
