Tripadvisor 4.5/5 (3,976 reviews, Travelers' Choice 2026) and Google 4.5/5 (1,784); on Xiaohongshu, 'the best transit hotel / one of the closest water-villa islands to the airport' is the main tag. The consistent draws: a free 15-minute speedboat close to the airport, seven restaurants and bars, Marriott Bonvoy perks, older kids stay and eat free, and family value for a 5-star.
