ES 02 Partial Seaview @The Shore

AndrewRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
A very good location, easy to travel around, lots of attractions nearby. Convenience store just downstairs, no worries on stocking up necessities. Condition of the house is good, furnitures are all in good shape and comfy. Plus point is a good washer dryer which save lots of hassle. Aircond is cold, fridge works perfect, bed is comfortable as well. The only downside is the speed of the lift. There are 4 lifts available, however only 3 is working during our stay. Wait time can go up to 10-15 min during peak hour. Good job from the management to manually control the lift to loosen up the traffic. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for convenience, comfort, and value for money.

Ecozy Suites

MichaelaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
High value accommodation at a good price, Simeon was in contact with us throughout the stay. At check-in, he was waiting for us at the front desk, explaining everything. He was very kind and helpful. The amenities of the place were perfect, everything was functional. The washer dryer is very useful. We also visited the pool on the 6th floor, the water was clean and the atmosphere by the pool was very nice. Location is within walking distance to markets, shopping center, and especially to the harbor. We will definitely visit again. Strongly recommend. Thank you for a great stay.

Heaven in the City 2 beachfront condo

DouglasRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We spent 10 days at Clidern's condo. The location was very nice, just a bit out of town but still very convenient, with a view of the water from both the living room and master bedroom. It is spacious and feels solid- many condos have thin walls and floors but this one was very quiet. We enjoyed having a large kitchen with island, even though we did not cook very much! There are so many good places to eat, even a small food centre in the parking lot beside the building. If we come back to KK, we will definitely book again.

赟彬Rating, 5 stars2 months ago
Right in the city center, everything’s nearby. The place is clean and cozy. Host was super helpful, answered all my questions fast. Only problem: the bathroom smells bad. Seems that all the rooms in the building have the same issue. But for the price, especially with friends, it’s worth. Had a good experience!
