Looks Good only on Photos, Ruined Completely by Staff & Restrictions The property itself isn’t the problem — the rooms are ok and the setting is average (nothing like the photos). But a hotel is defined by its people, and here, the staff completely ruin the experience. 1. From the moment you check in, it feels like you’re being squeezed for money at every step. Guests are subtly pushed into using their transport, and outside taxis are discouraged to the point where drivers hesitate to even come to the property. 2. Then come the baffling restrictions. You’re not allowed to consume your own alcohol — not even in something as basic as a plastic glass — under the pretext of “house rules or it's halal” This is a holiday destination, not someone’s private home, and such rigidity makes guests feel unwelcome. 3. Basic hospitality is missing. Asking for something as simple as plates turns into a chore — you’re told to walk to the kitchen yourself late at night. 4. The location itself comes with its own issues — being surrounded by mangrove-like areas means snakes and lizards are not uncommon. 5. What really stands out, though, is the attitude of almost all the staff members. The behaviour is rude, dismissive, and at times outright unpleasant. Instead of making guests feel relaxed, they make you feel like you’re constantly doing something wrong. 6. Overall, this is a place with potential completely undone by poor management and even worse service.
