What Our Guests Say

Rated Travellers' Choice on TripAdvisor

Five-star reviews.

Very good. The food, the room facilities are very good! My children especially loved the large pool in the room, and Ikigai's Filipino chef was particularly good and also performed teppanyaki. The kids' club teachers are also very good. The receptionist's Chinese customer service Tongxin is also excellent, patient and warm!
