    I was not aware of the additional Green Tax I had to pay and was not informed about it upfront.

    The fact that the hotel is right on the beach is a big plus. The staff was very accommodating and extremely helpful.

    The advertised beach access does not exist, or maybe it used to, but not anymore. The property is fenced, so you have to go out and enter Gulhi from the main entrance. This is still okay since it is only a minute or 2 walk. Our room was not cleaned in the 2 days we’ve stayed. Breakfast is not that good.

    Stayed at Premier Beach for 2 days from 28-30 March 2025. The property is really good, they only have 4 villa type rooms by the lush garden, so it wasn’t crowded at all. The Staff and the owner were all friendly.

    Position of the hotel is great, the bikini beach is front the hotel. Room is good,and the yard is a surprise. Staffs are most friendly young people. There are not many kinds of food but the breakfast is tasty.

    Our TV worked, and even YouTube wouldn't play on the TV in the evening. But we survived, at least we went to bed early and rested.

    We spent 4 nights there and everything was fine. We didn't spend much time in the room. For sleeping, relaxing and showering everything was fine. The breakfast was the same, but we liked it. The beach about 10 m away was absolutely amazing. That was the main reason why we chose the accommodation. The beaches were catalog-worthy, great snorkeling.

    I felt like being watched all the time,that been said,it was a small island. I saw the guy from the hotel everywhere,so i could n't explore other hotel for eating. Also our speedboat was at 1 pm.We had to check out at 11 AM. We had to sit in the hot lobby room/ cafetaria for 2 hours which was very uncomfortable on a very hot day. We were literally drenching in sweats during our travel back home.

    the hotel staff were very good.Especially the 2 girls from Nepal and the kitchen chef.

    Charming beachfront hotel with great location
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Deluxe Double Room
    • Stayed 8 nights

    -There was a constant noise like a water pump turning on and off throughout the night, which was very disturbing for sleeping. -They don't have vegetarian options. -The breakfast was very poor. Just eggs with three toasts, and very rarely did they have fruits. -The bathroom would get completely wet when you showered.

    The best thing about the hotel is its great location right by Bikini Beach. The staff does not speak English, although they put in a lot of effort to understand you; most of the time, communication was impossible. The restaurant staff were very nice and tried to help, but unfortunately, the lack of English made the stay a bit more complicated. -The restaurant prices are excessively higher than the rest of the island. I do not recommend eating at the hotel as just a few meters away you can find the same food for less than half the price. -They charge in dollars, and if you want to pay with a card, they charge an extra fee for card payments. -The room was comfortable.

    See above! I didn´t like to see this lots of trash all over this tiny island. And there was some kind of bad smoke because of burning plastic or whatever else. The area of the hotel itself was ok.

    The continental breakfast was ok, but no second cup of coffee or fresh juice, but a very good fruitbowl. No friendly service in the mornings. The manager and the other service personell were very friendly and helpful.

    The A/C blowing out sand, so sand is in the bed/ sheets, and it's not healthy to breathe that all night we both woke up with sore throats and runny nose. The bathroom floor under the sink not slanted enough to drain the water properly, and the toilet seat cover won't stay open so keeps closing on you while sitting on the toilet. The beds are super hard, not very comfortable. No tables by sunchairs, no beachside service of drinks or food. GREAT restaurant around the corner at Aalya Hotel.

    For the price, does the job. We liked how close to the beach it was and that they had some sunchairs with shade available. A/C rooms, remodeled bathrooms. Hot water, mini kitchen with kettle. Water bottles were provided. SEPARATED portion of the floor for the shower!!!

    There is something very wrong with the management of the hotel. It could be the most attractive place in Ghuli but it’s a bit drab and chaotic. There is no one at the reception and we did not use their kitchen because it simply is not appealing.

    Practically in the beach which was such a bonus. Rooms are very decent and it’s the best location in Gulhi.

    The deluxe rooms are only a few steps away from the beautiful bikini beach. The rooms were spacious and the food served in the restaurant was very tasty! This is a more luxurious accommodation compared to the accommodations we’ve seen so far on the local islands. Good to know: an ATM is being build on the island, it just wasn’t installed yet when we were there.

    The room is not very clean, I woke up with a cockroache in my bed and it was not a nice surprise The breakfast is in the avarage of continental breakfast in mostly of the restaurant/hotels/etc... I tried the Kottu in the evening, it was good but doesn't come with any side dish, which will be very nice to have, like it happens in other restaurants of the island where u get papadamus, some cucumber and tomato sliced, etc...

    Location is very quite, right on the beach and next t the restaurant but not exposed to the public eyes. The room is big enough and comfortable, same for the toilette The girls at the reception are very kind and polite 😊

    The room is not very well clean, during my 4 nights staying I've been meeting with several insect (different sizes and breeds) inside the bed and in the coffee corner. The light system is weak, the room as well as the toilette should be brighter
