"Pros: Proximity to Wadi Shab and being right by the sea.
Cons: Not signposted so we had difficulty finding it.
This place should be called Wadi Shab guesthouse or rest house, not resort." ~Clare
"Pros: Very spacious and absolutely new villa with pool very near to Wadi Tiwi and Wadi Shab. The Tiwi beach is also near and amazing - best beach on our trip.
Cons: The villa is new and very nice, but the building quality is very poor. There was rain during our visit and windows started leaking and there was water all across the staircase. Washing machine was advertised as being included. It is a very basic washing machine that needs a lot of manual operation (fill in water manually, drain manually, repeat the cycle manually, transfer all the clothes to spinning compartment and to start the spin manually). It is located outside and during rain we could not use it because of the danger of short circuit due to poor electric wiring. In fact there was a short circuit happening because the rain water got into some outside lamps and we were without electricity for a while. It was an adventurous stay. The staff was helpful though and tried their best to assist.
There is no internet, no wifi.
We even had some unwanted visitors - cockroaches. I guess this comes with the location - the villa is located in very dilapidated part of town. I guess this will change in a year or two as all the neighbouring building will be torn down and rebuilt.
We had to ask extra for toilet paper and towels - there was none at arrival. This is basic stuff!" ~Boris
"Pros: Santhosh was so lovely and accommodating! He went above and beyond for me and even helped me with some car problems which was very nice of him. The rooms were big and spacious, with very good A/C and a strong fan. The bathroom was nice and clean as well. I liked that the property has a courtyard to sit and relax in as well as a pool. The small kitchen was perfect for keeping my water bottles cold and had everything you needed. The hotel is also located near both Wadi Shad and Wadi Tiwi which was perfect. There were a few nice restaurants nearby as well as a nice beach. I had a great short stay here!" ~Tanya
