I had a lovely time at The Kasturi Resort, enjoying the beautiful design and spacious room. However, I found the beach disappointing due to coarse sand and high tides. The breakfast buffet could use more options, too. Overall, it was a relaxing getaway with a few areas in need of attention. 🌴✨

I had a relaxing break at The Kasturi Resort, with a spacious and comfortable room boasting an amazing view of the South China Sea. While the service was excellent and the architecture remarkable, I did find the location somewhat isolated, making it difficult to get around without a car. Additionally, some areas of the beach could use a little tidying up to enhance the overall experience.
