Mnarani Beach Cottages

This is a real gem Of a hotel. It’s not your mainstream commercial hotel. The rooms are quirky, clean, comfortable and so homely. From the moment you walk through the gate you are so welcome like a member of the hotel family. Staff speak in first name terms and are so proud of their work. We moved here from Another large chain hotel that was really unpleasant. And we are so glad we did. Kharmis showed us our choice of rooms and was so helpful. Truly lovely and helpful man. Then we moved in. Wow. Waking up every morning looking at the beautiful ocean, the birds and then a lovely wander down to breakfast to be greeted by such friendly staff. Breakfast is nice and sets you up for the morning. Lots of fresh fruit and John makes the omelette - lovely. We were always looked after so well by zubeir and Andrew. Nothing was to much trouble. We spent time by the pool which is beautiful. Nice and warm and very very clean. Returning to our rooms they had always been cleaned to a beautiful standard. The bar / restaurant area is very tranquil And lovely to chill out in the afternoon and grab a bite to eat or a beer. The drinks are not inflated to local restaurants and much cheaper than the big hotel restaurants. It is easy to walk to restaurants and bars in the area either on the beach tide dependent or on the road. It is a slightly longer walk but it’s lovely and so nice to do to catch a sundown or walk off dinner! We booked 2 excursions from there from Mr Mahmoud both of which were great price and superb quality. And so reliable. We also used a local taxi that the hotel use - called Abra and he is great. All in all we had the best stay and very very sad to come home. About the big hotel chains and look at hotels like this as the service is exceptional.

Such a spacious room and beach front. The spa ladies were fantastic and my wife's facial was good. It was a really relaxing way to spend our two nights there. Make use of the tours to get out of the resort. The beach isn't really a swimming beach and the food was average but there are plenty of options outside the resort.

The place is very tired and is not 4 star. There is no beach to walk on to unless the tide goes out and then quite rocky and seaweed. It just decking with sun loungers or a pool to sunbathe. The pool was tired too. The food in the restaurant was great. Shower and aircon were hopeless for what you pay. Saying that this is a management problem as I have to say that the staff were absolutely superb.
