"2023/12/12〜12/15まで3泊4日で利用しました。 まず、マレ国際空港からのスピードボートはHotelに連絡すれば予約を取って頂けます。 ただ、immigrationを通過して入国し、換金やSIMカードを入手するには、1時間〜2時間かかりますので、飛行機到着時間から2時間は時間を空けてスピードボートを予約した方が良いです。 マーフシ島に到着した際はHotelのスタッフが港でリヤカーを持って待っていてくれる為、非常に助かりました。 Hotelの立地は1番賑やかな方面とは逆方向にですが、海沿いでありながら非常に静かでした。 Hotelのスタッフは非常にフレンドリーで、親切な説明もして頂き、非常に良いです。 部屋の状況も思っていたよりも広くて、清潔でした。 一つだけ問題は、シャワーの水圧が非常に弱い(今まで世界のいろいろなHotelに泊まりましたが、その中でも三本の指に入る弱さです)為、シャワーに異常に時間がかかり、あまりシャワーを浴びた気がしない感じでした。 "

"一到飯店竟告知我們的房故障沒水,馬上帶我們到隔街另一間,房間很小又沒窗,我當下很生氣,拿出憑證告訴他,我訂的是24平方公尺豪華陽台部份海景房,而且這不是我原先訂的飯店,我很堅持要回我原訂房,他只好回原飯店然後給我原訂的房,根本沒任何問題,所以我覺得此飯店很不老實,早晚餐選項和量都很少,倒是餐飲男服務員很親切,到店付的6美元,給10美竟沒主動找錢,等退房時才跟櫃檯要,唉!不老實的飯店"
