Joida Vacation Rentals

"This listing is a scam, do NOT stay here. It is publicly accessed by crowds of people, not a private property. There is mud and construction debris everywhere, the pool is brown with dirt. The listing lies about wifi being available (it was available in one room), and about being all inclusive. Our room's door beeped for 5 minutes every time we opened it, the answer we received from front desk was "it'll stop in 5 minutes". No fix. There was pee on the toilet seat. The cleaner came with a mop and was about to mop the toilet seat before I stopped him. There was no hand towel. No toilet paper. I was finally able to find napkins that felt like recycled paper. When I finally was able to use the bathroom and flush the toilet, toilet water spilled out from the bottom on my feet. We needed a mattress for our son to sleep on and we could see bugs crawling all over it and the sheet. We took it out of the room and just squished in the bed. Later, walking around the property you can see the mattresses sitting in the open air as a nest for all the local wildlife. You will not be able to enjoy peace and quiet on the river, crowds of people show up in the morning to enjoy it and are there till dusk. I requested a refund 5 minutes after arriving: seeing the mud, construction, and crowds, along with no wifi and not all inclusive. I was told no."

"No ocean view "

"Great location, nice spacious pool area but pool very cold, very clean hotel. Decorated nice for christmas. Good breakfast selection. Staff average"

"Good selection"

"It’s was a very good experience "

"Reasonable stay but not to the standard promised. Our room was large with sea view (through trees and past golf course) but it was quite dated. Breakfast was very poor; food generally was mediocre and over-priced. Hot and cold jacuzzis in spa were not working (allegedly due to maintenance but no work was being done). Most poor was that one of the four restaurants was not open; we were told that they only open it when they have enough bookings and that it serves the same food as another restaurant (this is not what it says on their website). "

"Nice resort with good rooms. Clean and comfortable with very large TV’s. Included breakfast was just ok. Not a great choice and what was offered was of ok quality. Staff were great, friendly and helpful. The site lacked sun beds, areas to sit around so you were forced to use outside facilities. An area of beach dedicated for this would have been perfect. "

"Let’s start with the positives, the rooms are big with a big balcony. There has clearly been some paint splashed over the walls recently. Sadly the overall result is a soulless room only experience. The place is trading on the more interesting Om Shanti at the beach but has none of the charm. the staff are as welcoming as prison guards. There are lots of places to stay nearby, this isn’t the worst place to stay if everything else is booked"

"Staff were really nice and accounting, the food in the restaurant was great"
