Dhoadhi Retreat

Dhoadhi Retreat was a real treat, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, from boat transfers to all excursions, they were amazing! Loved the location, the breakfast and the clean and cool rooms.

I truly felt at home here. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe, seen, and genuinely cared for the entire time. The two guys from the hotel were always present, attentive, and incredibly kind — it honestly felt like being with family 🤍 beach is very close 💙 area is peaceful. I extended my stay from two days to almost 2 weeks 😁 wish I could stay longer .

unfortunately no fridge in the rooms - but you can use the one from the hotel.

De persoonlijke begeleiding van het personeel. Zo vriendelijk en verzorgend. De locatie ligt steenworp van het strand.

De hoge flatgebouwen voor de neus in aanbouw (maar daar kan het hotel niks aan doen natuurlijk).

The location, just a street back from the bikini beach, was great and the smiley staff faultless in their greeting and customer service.

I can't really understand the good reviews for this, given the price point. It looks good in photos but the room I stayed in (#7) while large, was really spartan and quite unappealing. There was little furniture, no bedside lights (just the big light and one quite random floor-level light) the double bed was just two singles pushed together (creating the dreaded gap in the middle) and the private outdoor space was very unappealing - a tiny balcony with a basic bench and rusty, noisy AC unit above it, which I did not feel safe sitting under. The bathroom was basic with limited hot water and no soap by the sink. Beach towels weren't provided and drying space was limited. It was ok, but overall, the finish and quality of this was far more 'hostel' than 'guesthouse', which was disappointing given the price point. I did also struggle to get timely responses to messages about booking the ferry transfer, which was a little stressful. It's fine if the rate is rate, but we felt at $90 per room, per night, this was over priced. Fine if you get a hostel rate, but if you're looking for a bouji local guesthouse, there are far better options.
