Zahaar New Wing Hotel

It was fine for a place to sleep. The soundproofing could be better, though. The entrance is actually around the back, and parking is at your own risk.

Food prep at the open air restaurant next door starts at 05:00 and goes on until 23:00. There’s constant noise from the kitchen, staff, and customers, so I’d suggest staying somewhere else.

The room was decent for the price, but cleanliness was lacking and the towels were dirty. My wife and I had booked four nights, but left late on the second day after a frightening scene. Around 10:30pm, three or four men from Bangladesh began fighting and yelling, and it went on for more than an hour and a half. No hotel staff or reception person was there to intervene. They started banging on doors, going up and down the hotel, and trying to open our room. We were terrified, like something out of a horror movie. We called the local police, who arrived in time and stopped it, so we could grab our bags and leave for a much more expensive resort where we at least felt SAFE. Never again!

We only stayed one night, and it was fine for us. The staff were friendly, and for the price it was worth it. It’s not expensive, so don’t expect too much.
