Lotus Paradise Resort - SHA PLUS

It was clean easy access to the beach and nearby cafes and restaurant.

Loud in the night time.

After reading some of the bad reviews I was a little worried! I needn’t have been! I am not sure if some of the reviews were for the hostel side of the report, but we had both of the seafront bungalows and it was lovely. The bungalows were a great size for two people and directly on the beach. The iconic bendy tree grows out of the garden. We found out on day one that you need to bring towels to reception to exchange for new ones…not a problem for us. Ladies come everyday with coffee, water and loo roll, but did not “make up” the room. I’m sure if we had have asked at reception they would have, but we were fine for our visit. The bar next door is noisy at night but the double glazing is good. If you are noise sensitive then I would advise you try out some different ear plugs to find ones that work for you…I like the silicone ones and couldn’t hear a thing with them in. My husband doesn’t like wearing them but he didn’t find the music to be too loud and slept fine. They provide wryly with beautiful sarongs as beach towels and large umbrellas for sun shade. I bought some large pegs/clips to attach the umbrella to the gate from bungalow to the beach, but you get the shade on the beach until about midday. I would most definitely stay here on a return visit as it is the perfect spot on the beach, but can’t speak for the rest of the resort, only the beach front bungalows.

Lots of people come to take photos of the bendy tree, and lots of people sit there for the sunset so it isn’t as private as maybe some other places. We also had a few dogs visit us for the coolness of the tiles on the patio…not a problem for us as we are dog lovers and they were all super friendly, but could be a nuisance for some people.

Room was great, location and staff too.

TV was broken and they didn't offer to give us one that worked, or pay less when we didn't have all the facilities.

On the beach and a comfy bed. Location great, music not a problem.

Water flow in bathroom nonexistent, lukewarm. , had to remind staff to leave coffee, clean glasses and empty bin in bathroom. Uncomfy chairs on verandah. Didn’t like having to pick up breakfast coupons everyday
