I had an unforgettable experience at the hotel, with its breathtaking ocean view and an impressive array of activities that kept me entertained throughout my stay. The rooms were luxurious and clean, but did feel slightly dated in some aspects. Although the dining options were fantastic, I found the breakfast queues a bit long during peak times. Overall, it's a royal experience surrounded by stunning views and excellent hospitality.

This hotel really is a gem, offering a beautiful setting by the South China Sea and excellent amenities. The accommodation stands out for its spaciousness and comfort, though it didn't have a Nespresso machine and certain things like happy hour that I’ve found at other luxury hotels. The staff were incredibly welcoming, which is sometimes hard to find, and added to a pleasant experience overall. However, during my stay, I noticed that the dining options felt limited after hours, which might not suit longer stays if you're after more variety.

I had an amazing stay at the hotel! The grandeur of the place is captivating, with stunning views and a plethora of amenities available. My only complaint was a small issue with housekeeping not respecting the "do not disturb" sign. Overall, it's a fantastic choice for both leisure and business travelers, though watching out for room privacy is advisable.

Rooms

The rooms are spacious and luxurious, boasting huge double rooms that felt like royal suites. However, the beds are a bit small for two people. The complimentary soft drinks and water from the mini bar were a great touch.

The Empire is a massive and intricate hotel set in lovely grounds, and my room was large and clean. However, the atmosphere was lacking due to low occupancy, and the food was disappointingly served lukewarm. The location makes it difficult to find other dining options without a costly hotel car, which is a downside. On the brighter side, the concierge team was incredibly helpful and the spa experience was quite nice.
