Great Stay in Brunei

Decided to treat myself to an overnight stay in The Empire and what a fabulous experience. I was upgraded on arrival and had a fabulous room with a large bathtub and sea views. The room was very comfortable and the bed was heavenly. Sitting by the pool was a beautiful experience but remember to bring bug spray! Breakfast was fantastic and overall the experience was just wonderful.

Overall excellent for a hotel that's now a few years old. Generally very well maintained but as it appears to be low season they had some maintenance going on while I was there - did not affect my experience but I did notice it a few places when I was exploring. Rooms are spacious, tons of closet space, bathrooms equally spacious. And the main building is beautiful inside, still stylish outside. Lots of swimming pools too. Main quirk was the bathroom lights are motion sensor only and turn off automatically, there's a sign saying close the bathroom door if this bothers you.

Empire Brunei off season

LOVELY staff! Huge room w/a gorgeous balcony. The drapes were long enough, but not nearly wide enough to actually make the room DARK, so that was frustrating. The food wasn't great. Not bad, and again the service almost made up for it, but nothing was fantastic. Must say that the place was far more than 1/2 empty which made actually sitting at the pool DELIGHTFUL!

Overall this is a lovely place to stay and relax. The grounds are well looked after and swimming pools lovely. This place is NOT walking distance to anything; however, does have restaurants, cafe, and a country club. Definitely worth staying at least a night as the views are beautiful and main lobby/foyer is impressive. Unfortunately our stay was less than great due to no hot water in our room (yes we notified staff). Normally i would just manage and only mention it due to the price.
