Hot Mess

Sonia T (Calgary, Canada) on Feb 01, 2025

We stayed here for one night before heading to our VRBO. We have tracked the world and have never felt so unwelcome before in our lives. I will say though that the front desk ladies were very nice and helpful. Karen at the pool screaming at us asking if we go to the hotel. Asking us for a hotel key. Another male pool attendant 15 min later asking us if we are staying at the hotel. Asking us for a room key again. Bartender very rude and rolled his eyes at us when we asked for our complimentary Mai Thai. Told us to go to the other bar and also asked us if we were staying here. He said you need a voucher which I didn’t know was with the room keys in the sleeve. Basically told us to go away. It was like we were bothering him. Smelly wet carpet in the hallways which in the morning was sprayed with fake gross smell to mask it. Plugged/clogged bathtub drain with a 5 min shower. Standing in a foot of water….so gross. See picture. The aftermath was even more disgusting. Construction noise starting at 8:45 am, after they changed our reservation from the lagoon room that was being renovated on. Is it because of our age? Or because my husband is brown? Neither of us slept because we were so upset and distraught at how we were treated. The location seems good but then you walk past the homeless people to get to the touristy overpriced restaurants. I recommend staying no where near here. The manager refunded us our parking and resort fee was not charged. He said he would talk to Expedia about refunding our money however that never happened. Expedia said they couldn’t get a hold of him.

Good Location

Vinayakbs (Jakarta, Indonesia) on Jan 27, 2025

Well located on the beach and close proximity to commercial area of the Island. Good restaurants are in walking distance and plenty of options. I stayed in Bay tower on the sea front and the rooms were old but clean and comfortable. Al carte breakfast is standard and nothing to complain.
