Room is spacious and clean. Rooftop swimming pool is nice. The fragrance from the hotel smells so good. Staff is super helpful. I lost my phone cable and shops were closed already. I had an early tour next day. The staff from the reception was so nice and helped me to charge my phone. So I could be able to contact the guide in the next day.

The deluxe room was spacious, even the toilet. The bed is probably the most comfiest we have ever experienced in KK. Overall, if you are looking for a mid budget hotel with maximum comfort this is it.

The room is big enough, and it overlooks the buildings and some landmarks of the city. The tv, AC are all functioning well, and the breakfast is sufficient although it is not a big selection and just the right amount for the cost of the Oceania hotel accommodation.

    The room was excellent very spacious water supplied. Cold scented towels and refreshing beverages. Staff was amazing we stayed in the ocean wing but even in the garden wing they was helpful whenever we went over there. Massive bath on the balcony had bubble baths. Was there for as part of my Honeymoon with my wife. Had a Gazibo dinner outside on the sand which was so romantic also

    Enjoyed the pool a lot. It is clean and I can see the staff took care to maintain the pool cleanliness everyday. At certain hours there are pool exercises conducted by the staff with music. So relaxing by poolside. Evening swim during sunset is lovely.

    I coildn't recommend this hotel more. My wife and I came here for our honeymoon and we had a wonderful stay. The facilities were excellent and all very clean and it is positioned in a lovely quiet location outside the city centre, making for a wonderful relaxing stay with everything you need on site. What made the hotel really standout, though, was the quality of the staff. They were all extremely polite, knowledgeable and helpful. A particular thank you to Izah, Isaac, Nicholas and Edith!

    It was almost the perfect short holiday. Almost... Those looking for peace and a place of pure relaxation, this hotel is ideal. Excellent conditions, adequate cleanliness, well equipped, great staff, a large, private beach, great pools and surrounded by nature... From breakfast to dinner, excellent quality meals and food. And everything is very well organized. We were upgraded for a very reasonable price to the Ocean Wing – larger rooms with a jacuzzi. Amazing.

    the staff were so lovely, generous and thoughtful. nothing was too much for them, and we came to the hotel a few days early to arrange a day trip before our stay with them, and they couldn’t have been more helpful and considerate. it was one of the best breakfast we had in all our trip, and the staff were so generous to upgrade us due to being on our honeymoon. we loved our stay so much, and the pool was a dream.
