다시는 안올 호텔

방에 샴푸 비누도 없다. 에어컨 전원도 밖에 나가서 켜야한다.화장실 비좁고 변기 바로옆에서 샤워해야한다. 위치가 안좋아서 찾기가 무척 어렵다. 내가 비운 사이 낮에 방에 침입한 흔적이 있다. 현관등을 끄고 나갔는데 돌아오니 켜져있는 것으로 알았다.가져온 현금이 200dollar가량 줄어있어서 여기 관리자들이 의심스럽다. 하지만 찾을길이 없으니 포기했다...

Disappointing

For what I paid (3,700 yen/night) I wasn't expecting luxury, but it fell below my low expectations and was not worth that price. I was diving at Evolution Divers and Google Maps put this place 200m away, which was my primary reason for booking as Evolution itself was full for the first 4 nights of my trip. But in reality it was an unlit 10 minute walk through a confusing maze of back alleys where the locals live, with vicious-looking dogs everywhere you look. The room itself was rather small and the bathroom/toilet was a combined wet room which didn't drain well so you have to get your feet wet each time you want to use the mirror etc. The air con worked OK but was very loud. One day we had a power cut at around 9pm which lasted till the next afternoon. It seems other places have back-up generators to deal with this common occurrence but Mar and Ems do not unfortunately. This also meant no water for that period since the pump requires electricity. My friends stayed in much better places for a similar price (Starlight, Celtis) in the same neighborhood. For the latter half of my trip I stayed with evolution (5000 yen/night) which was only about 1/3 more expensive but was incomparable in terms of quality and location and included a very good breakfast. The trek through local village was worst part so in future I'd try harder to book with the resort or another close-by resort on the beach.

Ylihintainen

Yksinkertainen bambumökki, jossa kaikki toimii "vähän sinne päin". Kiva terassi, mukava hlö.kunta. Ylihintainen.
