2/5 THE WANDERLUST R. 1 year ago on Google
We
were
excited
to
stay
here
given
how
close
it
is
to
the
beach
however,
upon
arrival
we
slowly
became
less
satisfied.
❌️Upon
arrival
the
room
was
spotless
and
fairly
well
decorated
BUT
we
had
no
drinking
water,
no
kettle
and
no
tea‼️
We
were
parched
&
exhausted
but
had
to
go
back
out
to
buy
water
and
get
food.
❌️The
toilet
and
shower
room
are
separate
-
not
too
bad.
✅️Our
room
was
on
the
3rd
floor
facing
the
homes
opposite
-
so
no
fancy
views
but
we
thought
it
was
a
small
sacrifice
at
this
stage.
✅️There
is
a
small
convenience
store
about
3
stores
down
so
we
went
here
for
water.
❌️When
we
walked
back
we
saw
huge
banners
above
the
entrance
that
states
guests
are
not
allowed
to
bring
food
or
water
onto
the
premises.
Welll
this
was
non-negotiable
for
us
as
the
vending
machine
by
the
concierge
stores
both
alcohol
and
non
alcoholic
drinks
side
by
side‼️
We
were
dehydrated
with
headaches
from
our
flight.
❌️However,
the
fridge
leaks
and
is
hardly
cold
to
store
water
in‼️
❌️When
we
got
back
to
our
room
we
had
no
slippers,
the
towels
were
frayed
at
the
edges
and
so
we
had
to
have
a
quick
shower
and
put
fresh
socks
back
on
and
use
those
as
slippers!
❌️EXCEPT
the
shower
was
a
nightmare.
It's
either
scorching
or
freezing
-
there
is
NO
in-between‼️
So,
now,
we
decided
instead
to
go
out
to
eat.
❌️Upon
our
return
we
decided
to
have
some
rest....except
sleep
was
also
a
problem
-
the
🐕
bark
non-stop.
I'm
talking
3+
dogs
EVERY
day
&
night.
❌️Once
we
managed
to
have
paracetamol
and
try
and
sleep....
from
2am
we
were
awoken
to
shouting,
screaming
&
fighting
on
the
street
below
from
drunkards
who
go
to
Hotel
Oasis
next
door!‼️This
went
on
even
as
the
adhaan
(call
to
prayer)
was
called
at
4am
and
the
behaviour
of
locals!
We
recorded
the
whole
incident,
hoping
it
was
a
one-off.
❌️There
were
no
prayer
mats
or
qibla
signs
either,
so
we
had
to
use
an
app
and
miss
the
morning
prayers
owing
to
the
beautiful
chorus
of
the
locals
throughout
the
night.
*Pathetic*🤦🏽♀️😡🤬
❌️The
next
morning
we
went
to
find
the
iron
and
ironing
board
in
our
room....
there
wasn't
one.
We
asked
the
front
desk,
who
said
we
had
to
use
the
laundry
service
in-house.
Why
do
they
state
irons
in
rooms?
This
was
inconvenient,
so
we
had
to
use
good
old
shower
steam
instead
so
we
could
get
ready
and
go
out.
❌️The
next
day,
the
same
pattern
repeats
with
the
late
night
fighting,
🐕
barking,
clothes
shower
steaming,
and
so
forth.
We
again
recorded
the
disturbances.
❌️😡🥱We
reported
it
to
the
front
desk
requesting
a
room
change.
The
best
they
could
do
was
tell
us
that
the
other
side
is
full,
and
even
if
we
move
there,
there
is
another
nightclub
where
they
party
all
night
through.
Hardly
building
our
confidence
at
this
stage
and
didn't
help
us
at
all.
❌️We
decided
to
give
the
3rd
night
another
go....
however,
the
cycle
of
noise,
drunken
behaviour,
and
dogs
went
on
and
on
and
on....
to
top
it
off,
guests
slam
their
doors,
wardrobes
and
fridge
door-
which
you
can
hear
through
the
paper
thin
walls
AND
even
better,
the
more
daft
guests
that
wander
through
the
corridors
laughing
and
shouting
to
eachother
through
the
night
means
you
will
not
be
up
before
10am
as
you
catch
up
on
sleep.
Do
people
lose
their
sense
on
holiday?
❌️There
is
no
security
that
deals
with
these
disturbances,
and
despite
the
vast
police
and
military
presence
at
the
beach,
it
doesn't
extend
to
these
streets
and
this
behaviour.
❌️The
rest
of
our
stay
was
plagued
with
street
begging
to
and
from
the
hotel
daily.
They
even
sit
around
the
hotel
to
wait
for
you
and
will
bug
you
as
you
walk
to
and
fro😡
⛔️I'm
afraid
that
combining
this
plethora
of
disasters
means
that
sadly,
I
do
not
recommend
this
hotel.
✅️🙏👍🏽The
front
of
house
staff
are
polite
and
friendly,
but
sadly,
this
doesn't
make
up
for
the
lack
of
sleep
and
comfort
for
us.
❌️🤦🏽♀️We
missed
breakfast
every
day
as
we
could
only
sleep
after
4
am,
and
we
had
to
get
breakfast,
lunch,
and
dinner
offside
daily,
including
our
evening
cuppa.
❌️🤦🏽♀️I
would
not
advise
you
to
stay
here
unless
you're
happy
to
deal
with
this.
