Really good Culinary Experience

“During our stay, I was blown away by the quality of food at the Waldorf Astoria. Every meal was a delight, from the breakfast at the Tasting Table, where the chocolate crepes were the best I've ever had, to the very nice Peking Duck at Li Long. The variety and creativity offered at each restaurant, especially the vegetarian options for my diet, were really good and truly made our dining experience lovely. There wasn't a single meal that disappointed us!” view full review

Fantastic Fitness Facilities

“The fitness center was well-equipped, and I really appreciated the personal approach from the trainers. They offered free private lessons since the resort was not very crowded, allowing me to enjoy a more intimate workout experience. I even had some fascinating conversations with the gym staff while working out, which made the experience feel personal and engaging. The setting was serene, and I was able to enjoy my workouts greatly every day.” view full review

Amazing Reef Villa

“Our King Reef Villa was beyond words! It was spacious with high ceilings, a private infinity pool, and stunning access to both the lagoon and ocean. The rooms were designed for luxury, featuring a beautiful view that we enjoyed every morning. I especially loved the remote-controlled shades and the luxurious soaking tub that added to the opulent feel, making it feel like our own private paradise.” view full review

Relaxing Spa Experience

“I treated myself to a 110-minute full body massage at the spa and it was heavenly! The massage left me feeling rejuvenated and relaxed. The serene atmosphere and professional staff made it a highlight of my trip. I even had the chance to talk to the therapist about the techniques being used, which added a personal touch to an already wonderful experience.” view full review
