"This is my first time writing a review because I need to find a place to vent how disappointed I am with the hotel. I did not have high expectations, after all it's Six Senses, not the ultra luxury and yet it still fell short.
To be fair, the property is stunning especially the pool area but the room.....The room.....It's speechless. I booked the river view room which says 50sqm but it has no space for luggages and the closet is inside the bathroom, if you can call it a closet. What a genius design.
The room amenities are like antique. Hair dryers , iron and iron board are probably from the day the hotel was built. The iron plate was dirty and left stains on my clothes. The handles of the bathroom door is rusty metal with razor sharp edges that cut my hand. The seemingly smart control panel is not smart at all, it does not respond to anything you press. I pressed Do Not Disturb but it does not show whether it's on or not, resulting in housekeeping coming into my room at 9am the next morning. You have to use it to understand what I mean.
The restaurant environment is nice and romantic, but the service..... Having waited 10 mins to be seated is not am issue, waited one hour for the food to arrive is also not an issue, but the food came in cold after we waited for an hour! The experience was so bad that we decided to skip dinner the next day.
Spa facilities close at 8:30pm which is rather early considering this is a getaway resort. Staff came rushing you to leave starting at 8:15pm.
Pool was really nice. If you stay there, try to forget about the room and just stay at the pool. The room is like a 3-4 star homestay at best
I travel a lot as you might see from my diamond plus status but trust me I am not a whiner. This is my first time writing a review because I can't help not writing it....."
