These new bungalows at the Mecure Airport resort are great. You barely even feel like you are in a resort as they are on the edge with lovely natural gardens. They are modern and functional and we would definitely book them again. We are NT locals who often stay here when transiting on holidays.

Overall stay was amazing. However: Toothbrush were not available when you need it. (Perhaps they forgot to replenish) Need to ask for it. No available indoor disposable slipper ( thought it was a standard for a hotel for have those. Or maybe not? Or maybe i was used whenever i checked-in into a hotel? Didn’t see any menu? Maybe need to ask? Saw a broken glass in the bathroom, lucky didn’t step on it. But the villa was amazing. We enjoyed the pool much. We had fun. 👍👍
