Bugnaw Si-E Beach Resort

It was so clean, peaceful and worth the money🥰🥰😇 I love the room, their restaurant and the beach was so clean as well as the swimming pool.

The place is nice but it can get crowded during the day. Day- users are usually rowdy and noisy. The public beach in front is usually crowded and noisy. Food at the resto is decent and fairly priced. Employees try their best. Rooms are spacious but are not designed to keep the noise out and rain got into our room through the window gaps.

This resort is an example of a location that could be great with some serious changes to their rules and restaurant. The location is beautiful. The view is amazing. The pool and beach are very nice. The rooms are 2-3 star. Clean. Western shower. No hand towels. Faucet water shot everywhere. Hard bed. I was very excited about the breakfast buffet, what a let down. The fresh juice was powdered tang. Coffee was instant. Eggs done one way, cold, fried, and cooked all the way through. One choice of fruit. Cold tapa or linguisa. Rice.That’s not a buffet, that’s a cheap way to save money on included breakfast. Normal breakfast. Poor options. I got tapa. It was cold out of the refrigerator with no sauce and dry. Sunny side eggs cooked through. Friend had an omelette, it was egg, onion, and tomato… no cheese, that’s not an omelette. They need to teach their cooks how to make simple eggs. I skipped breakfast my third morning even though it was free. If you want an amazing included breakfast stay somewhere else. The restaurant was hit and miss. The buttered chicken and sisig were good. The siomai was bad. The squid dishes were oversized squid and hard to even chew. The fried rice was mediocre garlic rice, which is not fried rice at all. Most items were out of stock… no shrimp tempura, no pizza, no hamburger, among other things. The cocktail menu was good, but out of 12-15 cocktails only 3 available. A resort needs a good bar and restaurant, otherwise it’s not a true resort. The waiters do not know the menu. They have to ask the kitchen every time I ask. They also have poor English. Saturday night dinner. They had live music which was extremely loud. We planned on spending on the big platter and multiple cocktails. The loud music was deafening in the restaurant. I could not hear my father or the staff. I requested the music turned down three times. I could see the sound system guy arguing with staff and never turned down. We took our money and spent it in town at a nice restaurant that shows respect to guests. The bar is part of the restaurant it closes at 9pm, so forget a long night. We were playing cards next to the pool being respectful. The guards shut us down at 10:15pm and sent us to our rooms. What the actual hell. Absolutely stunning. Unfortunately this resort could be so much better. Maybe they are not trying to attract foreign tourist dollars. Overhaul your draconian rules, stock your restaurant, and hire a chef.
