Dive Spots
The rooms, the food, and the proximity to the liveaboard dock were the only bright spots.
The hotel is right in the middle of the bazaar, and every single step you take to or from the restaurant, beach, or pool, you get hassled by vendors. “Where are you from? What’s your name? Do you want to buy anything?” etc. It was far from relaxing and just plain exhausting. Even in the lobby entrance area, people would approach you trying to sell ATV tours, diving trips, boat excursions, and so on.
The dining room has the atmosphere of a large cafeteria—it’s terrible. Loud, uncomfortable, and the tables are often dirty.
The beach is accessible on foot via the promenade. Vendors are stationed along the way there, too, and they constantly hassle you. You could always find lounge chairs on the beach, but the swimming area was a joke—very narrow and very crowded.
Why this hotel was recommended to us remains a mystery.
