D'Lima Beach Inn

Pros: The hotel's location is great. Although it was a bit hard to find at first, tucked away in an alley, it offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle. Just a short walk brings you to a lively street and then to a beautiful and comfortable beach. The hotel also has a pool in the courtyard which my child absolutely loved! Ali at the front desk was incredibly kind and went out of his way to accommodate our needs. Cons: The hotel is a bit basic. The mirror on the cabinet was broken, the toilet seat kept sliding, and the hot water for the shower wasn't great. The bathroom isn't designed with a wet/dry separation, and the room had a musty smell due to dampness. The sound insulation in the hallway outside the room wasn't very good. However, considering the price, it was acceptable. The hotel seems to attract a lot of European and American backpackers.

The rooms are clean and affordably priced. It's right by the beach, just a short walk away. Shops and restaurants are very easy to find, and it's close to department stores, duty-free shops, massage parlors, and various eateries. For this price, it's definitely great value for money. The room is spacious and comes with a hairdryer, soap, towels, and even a dining table. Excellent!
