The Empire Brunei

Think of what you would expect in a royal palace and that is what you get. Not surprising really as that was the original purpose of this estate. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful and couldn't do too mush for you without being 'in you face' all the time. Facilities were amazing and the hotel restaurant food perfect. The teppanyaki perfect and the duck was so sweet and just fell off the bone. Really I can not say enough good things about this hotel. Try it for yourself is all I can say.

Very large room for the superior. No need to upgrade unless you want a separate bedroom. The beach in front of Seaview building is much nicer than the small beach beside the swimming pool area, but don't go deep as it's not monitored. Accommodating for kids. Chinese restaurant Li Gong is a must do...

Everything is nice but if the restaurant has more choice with the food, it would be even better.

Good hotel, far away the city so f you stay you need to eat from their restaurants Poor beaches, some dirty and no seats in the beach to rest. Amazing pools, but just a few deck chair. Really weird for a huge hotel with a lot of passangers.

Incredible interiors and stuff. Good restaurants and right on the beach.

We spent 3 nights in this 5-star hotel, and do not regret it! There is an overall feeling of refinement on the whole resort: the lavish decoration of the main building, the quality of all the materials used, the carefully detailed decoration and furbishment of all the interiors, the impeccably well maintained outdoor spaces and stunning swimming pools. The check-in was done in the main building, after which we were taken in an electrical buggy to our building. Our room was located in the the building #5, called "Lagoon", on the third floor. It was spacious, with a big king bed and all the usual amenities: kettle, tea and coffee. The mini-bar is complementary and refilled everyday with Fanta, Pepsi and Coke Light. They also provide 4 bottles of water everyday. We were impressed with the quality of the furniture and the overall attention to the details. The bathroom was also huge. There was also an enjoyable balcony, but quite noisy due to the air conditioner system of the main building. The whole staff was very friendly and talkative and yet professional. We requested transfers from and to the airport, which were provided in clean cars, driven by friendly and careful drivers.

For a few days of luxury you can not go past the Empire Hotel. I was looking for just a few days of relaxation by the beach and this delivered in spades. The pool / beach facilities are first class. It may have just been the time of year but there were very few other persons about which added to the relaxing feel. The rooms were also first rate, and again were very quiet and well serviced and maintained. Staff could not have been more helpful, in particular check out staff and were a credit to the hotel. For a similar type of holiday, I will definitely return.

Spent two fantastic days at the hotel. Would have liked a few extra days. Staff were very friendly and helpful Hope to return

A welcome with iced melon juice in the extraordinarily grand lobby set the tone for our stay. Our rooms were luxurious and the beds very comfortable. Service was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed touring the grounds and swimming in the many pools. It was a great stopover for us on a long flight.

the hotel is well managed and all staff are friendly. situated in front of the sea with amazing sunset view. price level is below other 5-star resort hotels so it really worth it. Thanks for the hotel's arrangement for a honeymoon setting and my wife loves it. just leave your literary blank to enjoy the time
