“So glad we chose HRH instead of the other 5 star hotels as everything was exceptional. We got a pool access room and swam to our heart's content. We requested for a bit more privacy and the front desk was really helpful in showing us the layout of the hotel and went through with us the pros and cons of each room. Love the room that was given to us. Agree that the breakfast buffet was mediocre and the staffs couldn't handle the breakfast crowd, it is difficult to get a parking in the hotel, and also the TV channels were disappointing. But I came here solely for the pool and they delivered. You can actually listen to music while swimming in the pool which is super cool! 11/10 would recommend!”

“To be honest, I had high expectations before I checked in and honestly, the check in process itself was very smooth. The management did a good job by promoting good hygiene habits by distributing face masks & sanitisers to hotel guests and ensuring daily temperature screening. But once I got into the room, the interior feels dated & gloomy (don’t the hotel management know that purple is not the best colour for a bedroom?) - the drawer of the bedside table couldn’t be closed properly (not a big issue but you’d expect better of a 5 star hotel), the bed was made but there is a bum-print on the quilt as if someone had sat on it before I got in the room and on the last day before I checked out, I realised that the staff hadn’t cleaned the room properly before I checked in as there is a used cotton bud lying on the floor in the corner beneath the writing desk (I hadn’t used one and hadn’t ask for room cleaning either during my stay). Very disappointing! It also does seem that the hotel is operating at full occupancy as it seems to be fully booked when I was here. No issues as long as the hotel adheres to the right SOPs. However, it does affect the quality of stay as the pool was packed and there is no way to relax during my stay as it seems as if I’m in a marketplace with all the noise around me. Worst still, after being out and about on the beach I came back to the room and could hear renovation sounds and drilling, come on, Hard Rock! Charging 5 star rate inclusive of surcharge during the holidays but yet compromising on guests’ comfort? Couldn’t the renovation be done at times when there are less occupancy in the hotel? Other than that, food and drinks is great at the Cafe with friendly service by both the hotel staff and Cafe staff, thumbs up for that. Great in-room entertainment too.”
