The Pacific Sutera Hotel

The Pacific Sutera Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Front Desk Staff is the best thing about this hotel, front desk changed our room within an hour upon our complaint about noise and smell etc… We tried the Golf course and Tennis which was quite expensive and the equiptment rental is in a bad state. The resort should definately invest in getting new clubs and racquets. The qym is pretty dated aswell. Also the ladies at the Golf-House were rude to my girlfriend. But besides that, quite cool resort"
