After a long period (three years!) of no travel thanks to Covid, I was desperate for a comfortable and relaxing stay near a beach, and Nexus was perfect for this. I booked on their website, which had extras that were not advertised elsewhere, such as 20% discount off spa treatments and one complimentary high tea in addition to a daily buffet breakfast. We went for the Ocean Panorama Premier, which had a beautiful view of the resort grounds, beach and sea from the balcony. The sky at sunset was breathtaking. The king size bed was comfy, and the water pressure in the shower and the air-conditioning were excellent. The spa, located in a separate building close by, was peaceful and very tastefully decorated, and the massage therapists, facilities and service were top-notch! I wish I'd gone more than twice... It was lovely to lounge by the pool, although it was sometimes difficult to find deckchairs, and on one occasion they had run out of beach towels by late morning. If you wanted a change of scenery, it was a short walk down to the beach which had soft white sand and crystal clear water! There was usually no trouble finding available deck chairs in the shade, but maybe we were just lucky with our timing. Using the hotel app Roomie, I could communicate with the hotel staff via text about small miscellaneous items we needed like extra towels, water, coffee sachets etc; all requests were promptly and obligingly dealt with. In person, the resort staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful, but the above-and-beyond moment was when I asked if they could hold some items for me from the gift shop as I had tried but failed to find similar items in town, and by the time we came back I knew the shop would be closed. When we came back, they actually *opened the shop* for me at 10.30pm. There are a few areas of improvement I can think of that I'm hoping the resort can take note of, but only because I know it would make the stay even more incredible: 1 - While by no means bad at all, the food at The Penyu (the restaurant where guests had their inclusive buffet breakfast, and the option of a buffet dinner) will not be winning awards any time soon. Same for the food at The Sunset Bar - totally decent, but not amazing. Perhaps their other restaurants would have been very good, but we unfortunately did not get to try them. However, if you 're willing to travel into town (about 30-45 mins by car), we really enjoyed the food (especially the freshly caught seafood!) in the various night markets. 2 - Part of what makes Nexus so amazing is its location, far away from the bustling city centre. It was easy enough to get a taxi to take us to town and back, but perhaps regular shuttle services into town would be useful for some guests who might want to enjoy a bit of city action and nightlife! 3 - The rooms were very comfortable, but smelled slightly musty as though they had been unused for a while. 4 - The poolside bar was not open while we were there, which meant we had to go to the gift shop to buy drinks. Nexus would have made a killing from guests ordering drinks by the pool, and also the beach, if there had been staff around to take their orders! 5 - We couldn't get the TV in our room to work properly. 6 - We would often see trays with dirty plates left outside rooms for hours (e.g. if someone ordered room service the night before, the tray was left outside their room and would still be there when we came back from breakfast the following morning). Perhaps the resort is still recovering from Covid ,and is yet to return to what would have been, I assume, its former glory. It felt a bit tired and run down in parts, but I stress that none of these were deal breakers and I would absolutely return as, overall, it was such a lovely place to spend 5 days. I would totally recommend Nexus to anyone looking for a beachside resort. …
