Overall a great vacation! Great location on the beach and reasonably priced. The villas were very nice with self-contained rooms. Breakfast was included and a very good buffet. Great entertainment on Sundays. Improvement areas would be the wifi, which was pretty patchy, and the hot water supply.

All staff were very helpful and friendly. Food in the beach bar was tasty but unfortunately they didn’t always have everything on the menu including drinks. Rooms were cleaned daily but they need to be updated. Looking quite sorry for themselves as are the pools and outside of the buildings. There needs to be blackout blinds or curtains in the bedrooms as it’s very bright early morning. Also they need to fit shower curtains as the bathroom floor gets soaking.

Worst Customer Service Experience

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.

We were to check in at 12pm. We arrived the facility at about 3pm. The rooms were still dirty at the time of arrival, they finally got cleaned at 5pm. The hot water was not functional. Staff attitude to work was horrible. They appeared less concerned to our plight and were very slow towards their duties.

Good place for the price

Good place right on the beach. The rooms are in fair shape. I would stay there again because it was affordable. The restaurant was good too but they did mess up on my last order and I was not able to get my order corrected or my money back because the restaurant closed and I was leaving that morning.

Good experience

We stayed at Bahari Dhow for about a week and the experience was good. Looking at the other reviews I was quite surprised because the room was very clean and also the pool was maintained well. Of course some bugs could be seen, because we had the room on the first floor and after all this is the tropics... The bugs came from outside and were mainly in the toilet. We did not see bed bugs etc. There was lots of security guards but the it was not possible to lock the windows of the room because they were a bit broken, so that would be a good thing to fix to make the security of the place better. The breakfast was good. There was an event on sunday in the restaurant and many locals also attended, which was fun! The garden at the villas was really pretty and well maintained! There was a gardener who climbed the palm trees to pick coconuts and that was fun to see.

Die erste Unterkunft die mir gegeben wurde hat schlimm gerochen. Das Zimmer war nicht wirklich bewohnbar. Due zweite Unterkunft teilte ich mit einem Italiener. Die Küche war schlecht ausgestattet (Herd musste aus einer anderen Unterkunft gebraucht werden, keine Gläser, im Kühlschrank und der Mikrowelle waren Lebensmittel, die weder mir noch dem Mitbewohner gehörten). Schlafzimmer war jedoch viel besser als das vorherige. Angebot war mit Bademantel, Hausschuhe, Hygiene Artikel; alles nicht vorhanden. Fernseher funktioniert nicht. Internet empfangen auf dem Zimmer nicht vorhanden. Kein Warmes Wasser, zudem Salzwasser. Telefon im Zimmer funktioniert nicht, wenn man etwas benötigt muss man zu Rezeption laufen. Musste 4 Tage dem Wasserkocher hinterherlaufen, hab den dann bekommen nachdem ich mich geweigert habe die Rezeption zu verlassen( Morgens kein Kaffee im Restaurant, wenn man Frühstück nicht gebucht hat). Personal möchte oder kann nicht weiter helfen. Abschließbar nur das Schlafzimmer (jedoch mit einem starken ruck schnell ohne Schlüssel zu öffnen). Das Häuschen ist nicht Abschließbar, Wertsachen am besten mit sich tragen. Restaurant hat meistens fast nix was auf der Karte steht. Es ist einfacher sich erklären zu lassen, was vorhanden ist, als das zu bestätigen was man möchte. Essen ist essbar. Poolwasser grün.Die Aussicht aus dem Restaurant großartig.
