For the price we paid, Jasri Bay Hideaway Resort didn’t quite deliver the value we expected. Honestly, we could have stayed at a really nice 5-star hotel nearby for the same cost.
On the positive side, the food was genuinely delicious and beautifully plated, especially when served on the balcony of our room—a standout experience. The sunrise views from the property are breathtaking, and the constant sound of crashing waves adds a soothing, immersive element to the stay.
However, the management and upkeep of the property left much to be desired. The resort’s wooden design gives a rustic charm, but it felt overly basic, aged, and lacking polish. Upon arrival, we found the room’s door lock and shower broken, forcing us to spend the first night in another room. The staff did fix these issues the next day and graciously offered free meals along with an apology.
Though Jasri Bay Hideaway earned TripAdvisor awards back in 2019, it seems the quality has declined since then. We even had an unexpected visitor—a large but harmless spider—inside the room on the second night, which made us uncomfortable. The security guard did remove it promptly.
This was our last stay of the holiday, and the experience has convinced us to end future trips in well-managed, branded hotels. While our experience may be unique, we felt it important to share these honest reflections.
