My stay at Villa Dahl Beach Resort was a mix of highs and lows. The location on the beach was beautiful, and I really appreciated the friendly staff. However, the pool was often overcrowded with locals, which made it hard to enjoy. The dining options fell short, especially for a place so close to the ocean. Overall, it was an experience that could have been much better.

I had a family room with a sea view, which was a nice touch. The room was cleaned well and had a ceiling fan along with AC, but it felt a bit cramped for my family.

The front desk staff were friendly, but I noticed that the restaurant service wasn't great. I often had to wait for attention, even when it wasn't busy.

Being right on the beach was lovely, but the area was crowded and noisy at times, especially on weekends. Plus, it was hard to find taxis nearby.

The dining experience was disappointing. Many menu items were unavailable, and the breakfast was lackluster, with low-quality instant coffee as the only option.

Although the beach was beautiful, the pool area was crowded, and it didn't offer the relaxing vibe I was hoping for. The noise from both the pool and beach areas was disruptive at times.

My stay at Villa Dahl Beach Resort was quite a mixed bag. The beach location was beautiful, but the pool was overrun, which really detracted from the experience. While the staff were friendly and tried to help, the noise levels and limited breakfast options left much to be desired. Overall, it had potential, but it didn't meet my expectations. 🌊😞

Rooms

5.0

The room I stayed in was clean but quite small, lacking space for luggage and with a view of the noisy pool. The second room faced the parking lot, which wasn't ideal either.

Service

The staff were genuinely kind and did their best, but their efforts couldn't overcome the challenges presented by the hotel environment.

Location

The resort is right on the beach and conveniently close to the airport, but the area gets extremely crowded on weekends. The nearby fish market adds a peculiar smell that lingers around the premises.

Dining

Breakfast was disappointing, with limited choices and flies around the food. Only instant coffee was available, which didn’t suit my taste.

Facilities

5.0

The resort had some basic facilities like a pool and room service, but overall, it felt more like a local guest house than a beach resort.
