At the risk of sounding snotty, this is not a 5 star hotel on most international standards. The thing that bugged me the most was the temperature of the hotel in the hottest season of year. Not only were lobbys and elevators kept just cool enough not to be considered hot, the rooms didn’t allow adjustment. We should have freedom to keep the room as cold as we want.
The other disappointment was the beach - no private beach for the hotel, and the facilities at the beach were just okay. Villa Chinka looked more 5-star with private beach, good quality bars, etc. It made Astor Garden seem worse even though it is meant to be 5 star as well.
The hallways were pretty dirty as well.
Aside from these points, it was good overall.
