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.

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.

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.

Was having to leave early at 7 am and kitchen open only at 7 so they deliver our breakfast to our room at 6 .30 .so that we were able to leave on time. To remember that breakfast was included on our booking. This was very nice from the kitchen staff.
