Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Kololi Beach Resort offers a fantastic location with good beach access, and the apartments, especially in the Springs block, are generously sized. The grounds are well-maintained and inviting. While some guests in the 'Stones' area have noted noise from nearby bars late into the night, many appreciate the central location, proximity to the beach, and having restaurants within easy reach.

Acceptable stay, but some issues

loud music basic room

The hotel grounds were nice, and the location offered good access to the beach.

I experienced loud music from nearby bars until late at night. The music continued until 4 or 5 in the morning (it was REALLY annoying). The room itself felt quite basic, especially considering what i paid for it.
