This was an exciting place to stay! The beach is right there. The pool was lovely and the grounds were well kept (and often had monkeys and tons of birds.) The location was perfect. The staff was wonderful and we really loved having our villa to come home to after a day of exploring. You can hire a driver right at the hotel to take you around the city or beyond.

Great place let down by racial profiling incident

This was my second time staying at the Kololi Beach Resort, and the hotel itself is great—great location, nice rooms, and excellent front-of-house staff. However, my stay was ruined by an overzealous security guard who was probably only doing what he had been taught to do - keep Black women out, who they assume all must be "ladies of the night." was stopped by a security guard who did not approach me with any kind of courtesy and demanded to know what I was doing at the hotel and whether I was staying there.

Air conditioning a paid option?!? And this is not disclosed until after check in? And wifi never worked so without phone in room, no communication with front desk. Oh, and no soap at all, much less any other bathroom product. Taken to very warm villa and dropped off without any explanation of anything. AC would not come on. Had to access a remote, unsecured wifi network to WhatsApp front desk because hotel’s wifi for this villa never worked for either of us. Once connected to front desk, was informed that AC was a paid upgrade!! Never heard of such a thing and certainly a BAD BUSINESS PRACTICE!! Agreed to pay extra, so maintenance man sent who actually removed and rewired the electrical box, while I held my phone light to help him because the lights also went out. AC finally on. Did I mention NO SOAP ANYWHERE? We’ve travelled extensively and this is one of THE WORST lodging experiences ever!! NOT RECOMMENDED because AC as an option without informing a guest is absurd!! Did I mention no soap anywhere?
