"A true resort in more than name, with great tropical gardens perfect for relaxing after a day spent sightseeing."

Star Service

"Downriver from the upscale Shangri-La and Peninsula hotels, this hearty hotel attracts business and leisure travelers with its comprehensive facilities, resortlike atmosphere and great rates." Full review

"This is more a resort than a hotel, with many restaurants and a small mall connected." Full review
