So my review is written as a drunk individual in his drunk state. I thought this bar had a great atmosphere with an inclusive wrestling match. However, when it came time to find my friend, I was looking around the venue and got approached by security. I was then immediately kicked out, banned from reentering, and not allowed to dance on the premises. I believe this bar has a problem with backpackers. Locals are ok, but don’t come here as a backpacker or an individual. The security guard warned me of this. This bar failed me! Truly! I wish it could do more. It’s so easy, but it became exclusive due to my gender, me appearance, and my will to dance. Epic fail on the bars’ part. Hoping for more. Maybe next time……

I gotta say this nightclub exceeded my expectations. Great sound system and vibe. Very diverse crowd, informal, some people wearing costumes, everyone just dancing and having a good time. I don't remember the last time I laughed so hard. It is an attraction on its own, worth checking it out.

What a rave, This place is jam packed with activities and its location is top. If you are seeking an accomodation that's in the midst of all the happenings, this is the place to be! However, I would not consider this "5 Star" so much as I expected more in terms of the aesthetics and amenities provided in the room comparable to that of a true 5 star hotel. Also check out their foam parties! Top notch.
