Spice Island Hotel & Resort

Jag var inte uppmärksam innan jag beställde, onlinerecensionerna är superdåliga och några av recensionerna har blivit stulna. Så gå ut med ryggsäck hela vägen, för att inte bli stulen, ett ord är tröttsamt. I själva verket checkade receptionisten in med ett leende på läpparna. Bortsett från det hade han ingen serviceerfarenhet: receptionen var tråkig och det var ingen i tjänst på natten förutom en säkerhetsvakt. Jag gick upp klockan 4:00 på morgonen för att checka ut, och det tog till 5:30 att vänta tills den sömniga receptionen med hat i ansiktet för att checka ut. Jag bokade ett tvåbäddsrum, ett med myggnät och ett utan myggnät. Detta är den enda gången. Det finns också fördelar: tyst, blåsig kustlinje, lämplig för skärmflygning.

What a beautiful place to relax body and mind, always smiling staff, wonderful spacious rooms imbedded in a garden and a huge pool to swim when there is low tide ♥️

This hotel was just such a great find for a special trip with my son and we could not have been happier. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and clean and housekeeping were always reliable. They are all mainly in a peaceful garden setting and our room was actually furthest away from reception/pool yet was still only a 2 minute walk to everywhere and it was great to walk through the garden each morning and if you are lucky in the evening you might meet the local family of monkeys which we did twice. The food is very good, consistent and hygiene standards in the kitchen are high. The pool is actually larger than in many similar hotels with beds both there and on the small private beach area. There is also a private jetty with comfy seating and a bar serving a different menu which was great. Easy access to main beach and you can easily walk to Jambiani. You can still expect sales people on the beach but due to the location not that many and they are really no bother at all. Overall this is a super peaceful location and Paje is only a 6 minute drive if you want a livelier evening. Finally the staff were all welcoming, helpful and generally just lovely. They are all very relaxed and discreet adding to the overall super chilled vibe, but if you need anything at all, it just seems to happen without delay. A final note is this hotel is very good value indeed compared to many others nearby. We wanted for nothing and cannot recommend Spice Island enough. Come, chill, be happy.
