Araha Resort Arapana

Location was excellent, 1 minutes to the beach.

The lighting is dim, but it’s ok.

Location and comfort

Old furniture, dirty throughout the property. Have to climb back steps through an exterior restaurant kitchen area to enter the property. Not accommodating with a late checkout even though no one was coming in after us.

5 steps from the beach, very spacious, friendly and well responsive staff. Everything you need to a wonderful vacation.

On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, it was a bit noisy in the common room probably because of the cafe/bar/restaurant above. But it was alright in the rooms.

Once you make it through the gauntlet, up 2 flights of stairs which are behind their restaurant which is filthy, full of trash , refrigeration, and storage , you can finally make your way to a pretty cool apartment with a beautiful view out to Araha beach. The living area is very large with 2 large comfortable bedrooms. There is nothing close to luxury here , it’s dated but feels pretty nice once inside.

The 3 worst parts were as mentioned, the walk up is through a very dirty , back outdoor rooms of the restaurant. There was construction going on. It was every single day with a jack hammer. When we complained they said they told us but they didn’t. And lastly the kitchen has basically only a few items. No cups for coffee nor a coffee maker, no cups for tea. No small bowls or soy sauce bowls. Only big plates and big bowls and glasses. It was extremely limited. It seems they could easily pick up a few things at Daiso and it would really help.
