Jambo Beach Hotel Paje

The security pulled and pushed me, trying to drag me by the arm. I was on the beach trying to cross to the street behind this hotel. I did not know there was a party, but I was not going to the party, I was taking the side path to be able to reach the road behind the hotel. I was sober, not a drink. Two muscle guys, barked at me, pulled me. I was shocked they physically grabbed me. I told them to let go of me. I am a solo woman. 5 other guys were just walking, crossed arms, like a squad. The guy, some muscle guy on steroids told me 'I had to follow instructions', he didnt tell me there was a private party, which I was not going to, but rather the side street. I am not easily scared but this was intimidation. Imagine someone losing there head and immediately violating your physical space. Avoid, avoid. I went to the police even to file a complaint.

When reviewing this hotel, you have to remember how much you pay. The rooms were a great location, all close to the beach, all close to the sea, the restaurants etc The manager of the hotel came to meet us one day, and I really appreciated this touch (I am also a manager in a hotel so I notice the small things) The bed was super uncomfortable but a after a few nights we were used to it. The bathroom has no door!! Only a shower curtain, and it only goes half way down But on a positive note, the housekeeping team were amazing- just leave your key at reception when you want it cleaned. No mosquitos in the room! It also came with a fridge and AC. The restaurant was enjoyable for my husband, but I cannot eat gluten or have anything that could have been contaminated by it so I actually emailed to check I’d be okay to eat here. I was not. For breakfast I had fruit (slice of pineapple, slice of watermelon, and half a banana), and in the evening when I tried to eat, the waitress confirmed after saying I can’t have gluten that ‘yes there are fab vegetables on the plate’ - not even close. Unfortunately the restaurant lets this hotel down Really friendly bar staff, badly stocked bar however. Ran out of rum and vodka, and only had cider once. Overall, I would absolutely stay here again without meals included! Like I said, for the price, it’s absolutely worth it!!
