Badladz Beach and Dive Resort vs Similar Hotels

Room was fine and equipped with international electrical sockets.

Rooms are mixed: some guests found the bed very comfortable while others found it overly firm. Issues noted include no minibar (only a refrigerator), short kettle cord, mosquitoes inside rooms, and limited in-room furniture (no proper table/chair in some rooms).

Cozy, spacious, and well-equipped rooms with excellent amenities.

Rooms provided a nice view but had issues with humidity.

Bathrooms had bad smell and lacking toiletries.

Generally clean: sheets and towels changed and rooms cleaned regularly in several reports; public areas and pool described as well kept. Some guests noted a dirty beachfront area and one report of no room cleaning for a stay, so cleanliness is mostly good but not flawless.

Some concerns about the cleanliness of blankets and lack of washing between guests.

There were strong odors in both rooms, likely due to humidity.

Really nice location by the sea; good proximity to ferry port.

Location is a standout: right by the water with excellent ocean and bay views, pool overlooks the sea, and short distances to white beach and local attractions. The beachfront area itself was described as dirty by one guest, but location and views remain a primary strength.

Good location close to the old dock, though some guests may find the steep driveway challenging.

Beautiful location by the quiet mangrove bay.

Owner and staff were accommodating; happy, awesome staff.

Mixed service: staff described as helpful, polite and wonderful by multiple guests, but also inconsistent—some staff inattentive or on phones, inconsistent charging practices and occasional lack of follow-through (e.g., delays at checkout). Overall service leans positive but has notable reliability issues.

Staff were super friendly, accommodating, and helpful throughout the stay.

The staff was very attentive and ensured all our needs were met.

Food taste was really nice; decent full breakfast included.

Breakfast described as tasty by some but 'ok' and inconsistent by others; staff gave complimentary items inconsistently (hot chocolate charged one day but not another). Limited dining area seating caused complaints when guests wanted to eat deliveries.

Superb food at the restaurant but some confusion regarding pricing and discounts.

Lovely food, which added to the enjoyable experience.

Nice pool area with outdoor lounge; services available on-site.

Strong amenities such as an infinity pool and well-kept public areas; however, some amenity shortcomings were noted (hot tub often cold, weak Wi‑Fi, safe operated by a physical key, limited dining seating). Overall amenities are good but with specific gaps.

Excellent amenities including WiFi, comfortable rooms, and additional appliances.

Amenities like the spa were misleading; not a true offering.

Really nice view and overall resort experience.

Perceived value is below average for some guests: one guest explicitly mentioned paying over 9k and being unhappy with extra charges and limitations (e.g., being asked to pay for brought-in food, inconsistent complimentary items). Good views and facilities help value but inconsistencies hurt it.

Generally high value, although some pricing issues with food and drink were noted.

Restaurant prices were above average considering quality.
