Amed Sari Beach Guesthouse

A1+

Nice quiet place directly on the beach, very nice people and good food.

The best part of the hotel is its location, on the beach, staring at the Indian Ocean. The sound of the waves relentlessly splashing across the stones and the sand can be heard from inside the room, at least from those closest to the ocean. I watched a glorious sunset and a sunrise walking a few steps off my room. The breakfast (included in the room rate) and other meals served were tasty. The room itself was ordinary per se, but had most of the amenities that tourists need. Free Wifi at decent speed was available. The electricity fluctuates affecting the aircon which is annoying given that the weather varies from warm to hot. I am told that this disruption is common across hotels in the surrounding, which is believable. The staff are quite nice. The caretaker drove me to my next destination showing temples and beaches along the way. He offered a very reasonable rate, and was pleasant and conscientious throughout the trip. All in all I would come to this place to stay at this hotel again, to laze around a few days at such close proximity of the Indian Ocean.

Located right by the beach, about a 75m walk from the main road (although a bit hard to find when arriving at night). Staff seemed a little disorganised (I wasn’t advised that my stay included breakfast until the last night) and the room I received was not the one booked. Originally at checkin they advised me they were full, even though I had booked and paid in full. Room of mediocre cleanliness (strong odour in bathroom) and room serviced only on one day during my stay. Strong, well functioning AC.
