Jambo Beach Hotel Paje

We didn’t think it could be as bad as the reviews as it was recommended as a cheap option by a friend. The hotel is fine during the day. Pool is good and service is ok. You get what you pay for. Nothing special, which is fine for us. But the rooms……AC’s barely work, we lost power during the night and then from 1am-4am they were digging a hole to find the power cable right in front of all the rooms. They were very unapologetic in the morning. Had kinda, “that’s the way it is” attitude.

Worse experience staying in this hotel. No water!!!!! In shower toilet sink!! Electricity kept going on/off. Bar guy Omani threatening behaviour for letting him know the cocktail he made wasn’t good. I am lucky I am safe and sound from that horrible place. Location is good the owner needs to rethink and hire trained staff. My travel company chased them to fix the issues but after two nights I had enough and moved to another hotel. I normally don’t read reviews. I just book and go and see how it goes. This has taught me a lesson at least do research. My British English friend she said this place is not for white foreign girls it’s way too dangerous specially Friday party night. Please book couple of nights first to check before any long terms. All their packages are none refundable I wonder why!!

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!!

Unfortunately poor experience - we have booked 3 nights. Thursday on arrival the majority of complex was under construction and there was a massive stage preparation for Friday party night so out of the 3 nights we have two days experience construction and constant noise. I have booked ocen view room and we get a view on water tank(which didn't work for half day btw) Bar - during the day i couldn't order even water Breakfast - unfortunately again poor, we get fruit platter with old bitter fruits from day before. Staff- reception helpful and prompt. On Friday we experience the longest and sleepless night EVER . How come you didn't inform and specific this on *********** - it's not enough to say on email we have a party.. If we knew that there is a party until morning we would never booked it. Windows where shaking from the speakers unt il 4.30 am - this is unacceptable . I have discussed all with OP Mr.Musa I've been promised that he will come back to me with few answers - that obviously didn't happened . The only two good points are - close to the beach decent size of the room. All over I will never booked this again.
