"Spotless room' great view. Staff were really kind and helpful. Pools were great, our 11 year old really enjoyed the slides. Food was delicious, and breakfast was mind-blowing, such a selection. Overall we were really pleased with our visit and would definitely stay again. "
"We loved our stay at Areca, we had a room on the ground floor and it was sheer luxury, spacious, beautiful tiles on the floor, high ceiling, lovely period furniture, fans and air conditioner and a shower that was truly magnificent. We loved the afternoon teas and all the delights that were served. Your staff are extremely polite and courteous. We stayed for a week and would be happy to return. Thank you Areca. "
"I had a great stay at the hotel — clean rooms and excellent service. I especially want to compliment the Spice Restaurant team. Their customer service was outstanding: warm, attentive, and always ready to help. They truly made my stay more enjoyable, special mentioned - Ms. Atika, a trainee who always ready to help. "
"As a former resort manager now retired who travels internationally 9+ months out of the year and lives out of hotels, I know what makes a stay memorable. This was my first stay at this hotel and without a doubt I give it a 10 out of 10, two thumbs up- impressed by the facilities but wowed by your staff. Many individual employees were exceptional but as I enjoyed the breakfast buffet every morning for 6 days in a row I would personally like to thank head chef Chung who was professional to the max and personable with the guests in such a warm and welcoming manner he is a100% asset to the hotel, coffee maestro Sheldon who remembered guests names and orders daily and welcomed everyone with a genuine, enthusiastic smile and was the perfect face of the Marriot brand, and wait staff Wayhu and Asma who I myself would have employed- making guests feel welcome and very quickly like family- important and meaningful for someone like me who is always on the road. To say I was sad to leave is to say the least, to say I will return in the future?- no doubt in my mind."
