Need improvement on buffet settings

Generally my stay in Westin is pleasant. Service is good and they gave us a little surprise when we told them it’s our anniversary. However, the cleanness of the restaurant can be improved. There are many flies in the dinner buffet. They are basically everywhere - resting on the food, on the dining table & etc. It seems like the staffs are pretty used to it and doesn’t see it as a hygiene concern. Although there are electronic flies killer nearby, it’s obviously not sufficient. I won’t complain is it’s a hawker setting, but I don’t expect such condition in a 5-star hotel.

Given the cost to stay at your resort, we would say we had an average experience in terms of the hotel (which is ageing), service levels and overall ambience. We will not be returning.

In need of refurbishment

Property, room, facilities (eg gym) are rather old; run down and in need of major refurbishment. On day of check-in, there was a power outage affecting the whole floor. Hotel rates are considerably high and I expected more from a five star chain.

Mixed experuence

The room Aircond is disappointing as the temperature is not cold enough, and has to use the fan to improve the cold condition. It was about 26-27 Celsius throughout the whole stay. The fan caused headache the next morning. Otherwise, it was a good experience.

Enjoyed our stay

Love that it was so close to the beach! We were hoping to have a BBQ dinner by the beach but it was closed for a company event. Celebrated my wife's birthday, and the hotel did a small gesture of decorating the room and sending a small cake. Thanks, Westin!
