The hotel was less than 10 room occupied and yet i c't check-in slightly earlier than 3pm. I have requested for mosquito netting on my bed via email. The hotel acknowledge.....but this was not given to me or reflected on the booking request. The room corridor light were not turn on during the evening (i guess to save electricity due to low occupancy) and we have to walk in darkness using the HP torch light. The lift near my room was also switch off throughout our stay. (again for saving electricity). My purpose of this stay was to check out the function room for my company retreat..... but during my enquiry via email to room reservation i was told to contact the reservation@sandandsandals.com myself for function room booking.... instead of them getting back to me or arrange for a site visit. The room rate that was quoted to me for this stay was much higher than if i book online thru room booking platform. Overall was a bad experience in this hotel.
