Bahari Dhow Beach Villas

muito bom Instalações: geral Higiene: boa Bom meio-ambiente bom serviço

Ficamos no Bahari Dhow por cerca de uma semana e a experiência foi boa. Olhando para os outros comentários, fiquei bastante surpreso porque o quarto era muito limpo e também a piscina era bem mantida. Claro que alguns insetos podiam ser vistos, porque tínhamos o quarto no primeiro andar e afinal isso é o trópico. Os insetos vinham de fora e estavam principalmente no banheiro. Não vimos percevejos etc. Havia muitos seguranças mas não foi possível trancar as janelas do quarto porque estavam um pouco quebradas, então seria uma boa coisa consertar para melhorar a segurança do local. O café da manhã era bom. Houve um evento no domingo no restaurante e muitos moradores locais também compareceram, o que foi divertido! O jardim das villas era muito bonito e bem cuidado! Tinha um jardineiro que subia nas palmeiras para colher cocos e foi divertido ver isso.

Bom lugar na praia. Os quartos estão em bom estado. Eu ficaria lá novamente porque era acessível. O restaurante também era bom, mas eles bagunçaram meu último pedido e não consegui corrigir meu pedido ou devolver meu dinheiro porque o restaurante fechou e eu estava saindo naquela manhã.

Eu amo tudo aqui. Vim com minha família e ver a emoção em seus rostos me deixou feliz.

Estava tendo que sair cedo às 7h e a cozinha aberta apenas às 7 então eles entregam nosso café da manhã no nosso quarto às 6h30. De lembrar que o pequeno-almoço estava incluído na nossa reserva. Isso foi muito gentil da equipe da cozinha.

The first night, my laptop bag with a laptop and other electronics was stolen from my room. The management didn’t seem bothered. A roommate had heard someone trying to unlock their door and when we called the receptionist to check if everything was ok, they didn’t do anything

It is hard to find anything good to say about Bahari Dhow beach villas but I’ll give it a go: The rooms are spacious. The pools are very large. It is on the beach. It is cheap. In contrast it is easy to find fault: Staff are nonchalant , indifferent or inexperienced. The place is dirty, there was no housekeeping service, food was terrible, ‘restaurant’ was full of wasps, crows and cats. Furniture was falling apart. Frankly the place has seen better days and is in dire need of an overhaul.

Our stay was disappointing from the moment we arrived on Dec 31st. The security at the gate would not allow our Uber to drive into the compound, even after letting them know we were checking in as guests. They asked the driver to drive through a side road, park and use the side entrance. Unbeknownst to us, this was the beach entrance and absolutely did not make sense to use for guest check in. We had to walk through the sand in our travel clothes and shoes to make it through the back entrance. Our only saving grace was a couple of security guards that helped us carry our suitcases after they heard our complaints. The explanation that we got from the Reception was that there may have been confusion as the main gate security guard assumed we were New Year’s party guests and only needed access to the beach but once we clarified that we were indeed guests, the main gate security guard was unapologetic and would not even allow our Uber through the gate a second time to pick us up. We had to walk up a hill and out of the gate to catch our Uber. To make matters worse, on one of the nights, we were dropped off at about 4am, showed the room key to a separate security guard and he let our Uber through the gate, only this time to be followed by a strange man that demanded to see our room key again to confirm we were indeed hotel guests. This whole experience definitely left us feeling targeted and discriminated against. I would never again stay here.

Our family spent five nights here in a return visit because the beach front location is perfect.The staff are polite. However, unlike our previous visit, there were very few organized activities like Zumba, etc. Bahari Dhow has a lot of potential, but the management needs to spruce up the villas, improve the bathrooms, ensure kitchen is well stocked, linens upgraded, broken furniture replaced, etc. The management also needs to prioritize their residents over holidays and weekends. We were unable to use the pool because the hotel allows non-residents to pay and use the pool and it gets too crowded. If the hotel wishes to have public access swimming facilities, they should consider building a separate swimming pool in the grounds by the entrance to ensure that residents can enjoy the facilities throughout their stay.
