Bahari Dhow Beach Villas

看攜程網寫的是四星酒店，其實連我們國內鄉下的賓館還不如。實際情況如下圖所示。

Ottima struttura con tante ville indipendenti nel giardino intorno alla piscina . Direttamente sulla spiaggia ampia e di sabbia bianchissima. Camera master molto bella al primo piano con grande bagno terrazza . Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.

Day 1: I order 2 beers. She brings 1 beer. I tell her I just ordered 2 beers. She then brings back 2 more beers. Sigh... My AC was not working the first night Day 2 of my 7 day trip and I regret not reading the reviews on Google first. The rooms are set up in dorm type of situation. The remote control is missing the cover. The batteries don’t work. The mattress is thin like I would imagine prison. The service at the restaurant is atrocious. The wifi is horrible. The TV choices are horrible. I had to call the front desk from my table to get any service at the restaurant. I'll probably book somewhere else just to not completely ruin my trip. The maintenance person has been to my room four times and my remote still doesn’t work properly. Day 3 at the beach and I am bonding with the guests at how bad the restaurant service is. Good thing I booked another place soon. Day 4: Cleaning people knock on my door 3 times until I finally opened when trying to relax. They don’t have Do Not Disturb signs like every other hotel. There 6 people at the bar nobody has even given me a menu. A White lady sits down after me and gets a menu within a couple minutes, 2 tables down. I had to call the front desk again, twice. It took 10 min to get a menu. Mind you I made contact with a waiter and pointed to my seat before sitting down upon arrival. I have been in Kenya for 3 weeks from Nairobi to Nyali and today instead of a chicken breast a Chicken burger is minced chicken. Then I do a reorder of fish and he ask me if I want it well done?? It’s not steak. So glad I booked another place. Don’t come here.

The first night, my laptop bag with a laptop and other electronics was stolen from my room. The management didn’t seem bothered. A roommate had heard someone trying to unlock their door and when we called the receptionist to check if everything was ok, they didn’t do anything

Our family spent five nights here in a return visit because the beach front location is perfect.The staff are polite. However, unlike our previous visit, there were very few organized activities like Zumba, etc. Bahari Dhow has a lot of potential, but the management needs to spruce up the villas, improve the bathrooms, ensure kitchen is well stocked, linens upgraded, broken furniture replaced, etc. The management also needs to prioritize their residents over holidays and weekends. We were unable to use the pool because the hotel allows non-residents to pay and use the pool and it gets too crowded. If the hotel wishes to have public access swimming facilities, they should consider building a separate swimming pool in the grounds by the entrance to ensure that residents can enjoy the facilities throughout their stay.

This is not a place that you want to stay. Monkeys in and out of the apartments constantly. The rooms are not well cleaned and are very basic. The restaurant is TERRIBLE with the service taking hours and the food being disgusting. Worst of all was the entertainment. They had some nice singers but the clients were very disturbing. Lots of elderly white men sitting with young Kenyan children sitting them on their knee and feeding them. This made me very uncomfortable and needs to be investigated further. None of the staff seemed to be bothered by this. As well as this the beach and road are frequented by beggars. I have stayed in many hotels around the world and I have never seen anything like this. Stay anywhere else in Diani if you want an enjoyable holiday. The problem is not with the resort but with this specific hotel.
