Nirwana Resort Hotel

A really great hotel! The beach was beautiful and uncrowded; since it was off-season, we had the whole beach to ourselves, which was fantastic. The service was also excellent, with staff always greeting us with a smile.

Overall, the price was quite advantageous, and the hotel offers a rich variety of activities, so you basically don't need to leave the hotel. Hotel facilities: The rooms are quite old, probably around a 3-star standard in China. Entertainment activities: Archery, shooting, horseback riding, ATV off-roading, fishing, bowling, table tennis, etc. However, all these require additional payment. A complimentary game of bowling was included with the stay, but when I went, they said it was only for one person, required extra shoe rental, and sock purchase. Adding another person would also cost extra. It felt very uneconomical, so I gave up on it. Restaurants: Prices are similar to Singapore. I went to the pool bar and the Indian restaurant, both were quite mediocre. Especially the pool bar, the service was very poor. They served food without cutlery, and it took ages to get their attention. The hotel has its own beach, and it's not crowded and very clean, which is a plus. The hotel lighting is very dim at night. If you're going out for dinner, I recommend taking the shuttle bus that runs every 30 minutes; otherwise, it can be a bit spooky.
