Very disappointing and misleading The photos of this accommodation show a swimming pool, but when we arrived we discovered that it has clearly been empty for years. It is completely unusable and very misleading for guests. Access to the beach is also unacceptable.

What guests say
Leaking bath and AC, had to ask 2 times for a new towel, no signal in the room and most of the hotel. Paid wifi is also very bad.. Food sadly is quite expensive 480 for beef with rice for 2 people. Staff was good but everything else was bad..
Room stinks. Toilet stinks. There’s no staff before 7am. With pool but there’s no water.

Thank you Almari Beach Resort for accommodating us during our Tawi2 stay. Hope we can able to book again in this place . Highly Recommended

The entrance fee is very affordable (P10 per person). But I guess you get what you pay for. The good thing is, it has a shower a…
