Aralea Beach Resort By Stone Wood Premier

Nice pool, staff incredibly kind and helpful, taxi services available nearby, restaurant food was great quality and room service was well handled. Local shops sell cute souvenirs and there’s a few nice restaurant options outside of the property, including a quite fancy café.

Not really the property’s fault, but I did get surrounded by a pack of dogs and followed up the beach, and you couldn’t really use the sun beds because locals selling jewellery and offering massages would approach you and refuse to leave for a few minutes. Don’t know if it’s worth having a staff member who’s confident to maybe make sure the sellers leave when asked. Personally don’t mind them asking once, but the constant bothering made it so I couldn’t stay long.

The location is perfect, right on the beach and easily accessible from main road. Staff is very polite and helpful. We had a great experience. Breakfast is also very good including lots of options for vegetarians and room service is an added advantage.

Cleanliness, restaurant staff

Slow service from housekeeping

Just the location and proximity to the beach.

1. The service was absolutely abrupt.. like there was two sachets of tea and no milk creamers, no stirrers. 2. The menu is absolutely vague. Half the things written on the menu is not available. Its written just for the show. 3. The staff are not trained at all. Asked for bar menu, but no one knows where the bar menu is! 4. The breakfast buffet is very very very average!!! 5. The sausages were weird tasting! 6. Their restaurant in house tea was pathetic!!! Dont go by the foreigner’s reviews… they will love anything which is a bit hygienic. They love all kind of indian food. But the indians will not love a basic buffet!!!
