The sea was absolutely stunning! Crystal clear water, soft sand, and peaceful waves made our vacation unforgettable. We enjoyed long walks along the shore and beautiful sunsets every evening. A perfect place to relax and recharge.

I have been here a few times and it was pretty good experience. Yesterday I recommended my friends to try this place and it was disappointing. It was very slow service on Saturday evening. We had a party of 10 people and only the 1st round of order were served properly. We ordered a 2nd round for BBQ and hotpot but only 1/3 of the order was served. Very disappointing with the service. I doubt if I would have a group dinner here again.

Seafood was not frozen and cleanliness was debatable. Rest of the food was decent.

Semi self-service. (Raw) meat selection for the table & personalized soup base are brought to you; the remainder (veggies, tofu & seafood) come on the conveyor belt. You pick your own side-dish sauces (buffet style). All you can eat but limited to 90 min.

Meats were very fresh, as were the seafood, since we had an 11 am reservation (allowed for > 6 people; more on this below). Plentiful and speedy conveyor belt since we were the "1st shift" (get my drift?). I preferred shrimp & chicken (low fat), but was able to tear off the fat (yup, strip by strip if your diet tends in that direction) from the red meats. After a while, no one could tell what meats were on which plates! We thought the baby scallops were great: fresh and tender if you let it into the soup only for 15 seconds, yet they didn't toughen up if you left them in for a while. Shrimp: delicious & fresh, and you have a choice of shelled vs with the full metal jacket!

The variety of tofu was really good. The puffy rectangles were especially nice since they soaked up the soup and softened upon contact with moisture. There were sufficient greens to even things out. We saw a group of Buddhist monks in the queue, so you know it's possible to eat vegan here.

Some of the soup base selections were exceptional: tomato (so good!), mushrooms & Tonkatsu highly recommended (these all start with bone broth, I believe). Miso not so much (uninteresting). The soup gets more flavorful as the meal progresses, so it's better to get something not too intense.

We secured a reservation with 7 people, but personally, I wouldn't do this again. The seating for a big group still places the conveyor belt next to only 2 people, so now those closest to the belt must continuously serve the rest of the table. It's too much. Far better to break up the group into foursomes. However, I've heard that sometimes they stuff a lone customer onto a table for 3. How weird is that?

While the atmosphere is alright, the style of food service is such that it made for a feeding frenzy with no conversation (except to praise the food). If it's a visit you seek, this is not the experience you'd want. Or plan to visit another place afterwards.

Seapot offers a nice conveyor belt style buffet with a lot of selection if you pick both hot pot and BBQ. However, with the price/quality ratio of the food, there is probably no reason to come back, unless our friends choose to:)

With only hotpot buffet, the meat selection is limited, and the seafood from the conveyor belt is subpar in quality (frozen and just taken out, so not fresh at all). They have a lot of veggie, mushroom and tofu so good for vegetarian. We tried 4 different broths and all of them were bland/ lackluster. On the bright side, there is a free sauce and fruit counter that made up for it.

The service was ok. There is 90min limit, but the last order closed 30min before. So realistically you have ~3 times to order meat, limited to 1 type per person in the table.

Atmosphere was so so, not as cosy as a hotpot place should be.

Order placed through the waiter responsible for your table. You'll need to wait for that person when you need to order or check on missing items. The BBQ grill (induction? as it wasn't open flame) was low, even set to high, so the meat was very slowly cooked. Our bbq grill might have been defected. The hot pot was not bad while waiting for your meat to cook. It's a nice place to try out once for Hotpot. If I come back again, then I'll just do the hotpot because if the grill was working as intended, then it's not worth the experience and price.

Absolute trash hotpot store. Drinks need to pay, ice cream need to pay. Never ate in such a trash hotpot store before. Definitely not recommend.
