The Residence Resort Overview

You know what struck me first about The Residence Resort? It’s one of those places that manages to feel both polished and relaxed at the same time – honestly not easy to pull off for a four-star property. I mean, you walk into the lobby and there’s this immediate sense that someone actually thought about how real people move through a space, not just how it would photograph for their website.

The rooms are genuinely spacious, which is refreshing after staying at too many places where you’re practically climbing over your suitcase to get to the bathroom. What I really appreciated was the attention to lighting – there are actually enough outlets where you need them (miracle!), and the bedside lamps give off that warm glow instead of that harsh hotel fluorescent thing. The beds are solid too – firm enough that you’re not sinking into a marshmallow, but comfortable enough that I actually slept through the night without my usual 3am wake-up call. Housekeeping clearly knows what they’re doing because everything felt genuinely clean, not just surface-level tidy.

The staff here gets it – they’re helpful without being hovering, if that makes sense. Check-in was smooth, no weird upselling pressure, and when I had a question about late checkout they just sorted it out without making me feel like I was asking for a kidney. The whole vibe is professional but not stuffy, which honestly reflects in that 8.8 rating they’ve earned. I’ve stayed at places with higher star ratings that felt way more impersonal. The common areas have this lived-in quality that makes you want to actually hang out there rather than just rush through to your room. There’s usually a good mix of business travelers and leisure guests, so it never feels too scene-y or too corporate. Parking was straightforward (always a relief), and the building itself has good soundproofing – I barely heard my neighbors, which is saying something since I’m usually sensitive to noise. It’s the kind of place where small details add up to something bigger, where you can tell they’re actually trying to create an experience rather than just provide a bed for the night.

    The place is awesome. Very professional housekeeping. They have 3-4 people for cleaning at the same time. They clean the house properly, using steam for sofa and bed. The pool on the back yard is fantastic. I want to say big thanks to their staff: Jessica, Opo and driver Jin, who was helpful in any question that I had. They helped me to find activities that I like, researched for the tours and places in the internet. Those people are sincere and responsive. You can order food delivery or something from the supermarket by Grab application and the delivery man will bring it to your villa directly if you specify the villa number in the address.
