Af hverju fólk elskar þetta
- Legendary daily pool parties with international DJs from 2 PM
- Prime beachfront location in the absolute center of Chaweng
- Nightly fire shows that are arguably the best on the island
Stutt samantekt: A hedonistic playground that is less of a hotel and more of a nightclub with bedrooms attached.
Farið yfir af @Jenny90: I stayed in this Garden View room at Ark Bar and it was the perfect balance. We were right in the middle of the Chaweng party scene, but this room was our quiet little escape. The balcony was my favorite spot to chill before heading out!
Gestur sem dvaldi hér sagði
Reality check
Housekeeping is inconsistent, bathrooms can be grimy, and you will hear everything from your neighbors.
- You are under 30 and traveling with a squad
- You prioritize social vibes over sleep quality
- You want to stumble from the club directly into your bed
Hreinlæti og viðhald
6.5
- Housekeeping: Daily service is provided, but often rushed. Missed spots and sand on floors are common complaints.
- Bathroom hygiene: Functional but worn. Expect limescale on taps, occasional slow drains, and grout that has seen better days.
- Maintenance: High wear and tear due to the party crowd. Scuffed walls, chipped furniture, and aging AC units are standard.
- Linens & towels: Towels can be scratchy and sometimes have stubborn stains. Bedding is adequate but not luxury.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells like the ocean; rooms can smell musty or like stale cigarettes despite the non-smoking policy.

Algengar spurningar og falin ábendingar
Allt sem þú vilt vita áður en þú bókar.
Is it really that loud?
Yes. The bass from the pool party shakes the windows until 2 AM. If you can't sleep through a concert, don't stay here.
Is breakfast included?
Usually not in the base rate. It's an English breakfast buffet, decent for a hangover cure but not gourmet.
Can I bring a guest back?
Generally yes, it is 'guest friendly,' but they must leave their ID at reception for security.
Is there a gym?
No. The 'workout' is dancing or swimming. There is no fitness center on-site.
How is the WiFi?
Free and generally decent in rooms, but can get spotty in the crowded pool area.
Is the pool water clean?
They clean it daily, but by 5 PM after hundreds of people have been partying in it... use your judgment.
Innherja ábendingar
- ✨
The 'Hip Restaurant' serves surprisingly good food, but it's pricey—walk 5 mins to the street for cheaper eats.
- ✨
Don't lose your towel card or room key; the replacement fines are steep.
- ✨
Buy your pre-game drinks at the 7-Eleven across the street to save money before hitting the pool bar.
5 hlutir sem þú ættir að vita áður en þú ferð
💡The hotel runs on the government power grid, which is unstable; backup generators ONLY power the lobby/common areas, not your AC.
💡The 'swim-up bar' stools can be slippery and sharp—watch your shins.
💡You might find sand in your bed even after housekeeping visits; it's everywhere.
💡The shower water pressure fluctuates wildly when everyone is getting ready at 7 PM.
💡Security is tight at the beach entrance at night, which keeps non-guests out but can be a hassle if you forget your key card.
