Good Points

For the Oceanic Hotel, no good points. For the resort, excellent good beaches, friendly people, excellent value. Not as busy as Palolen.


Bad Points

The Oceanic Hotel.


General Comments

We booked the Oceanic over the internet making a £25.00 deposit by Paypal. We asked them to arrange a taxi to collect us from the airport and that worked well. Then it went downhill.

When we arrived at the hotel, we were very hot and extremely tired. We were told where our standard room was (not shown), which was just off the restaurant. Our room would have been OK if it wasn't for the state it was in. The sheets and towels were a sort of murky grey and the room smelt damp with a three quarter size bed. This may sound a bit harsh but the kennels we put our dog in was, granted smaller but, cleaner than this standard room. In fact the whole place could do with a good clean and a lick of paint. Generally the Oceanic is very disappointing, tending to trade off the Telegraph article and the fact they are Brits. It is certainly not worth the twenty odd pounds a night they charge.

We left our bags in the room and walked into Patnem where we found an excellent place to stay called Goyam try www.goyam.net, we stayed in the pink cottage. The staff were friendly and the food perfect. Whilst there, we met a few people who were staying at the Oceanic who confirmed that the Brits who own it now (can't remember their names) bought it about three years ago and it has gone down hill since then.

So it's up to you but if you do book and then decide not to stay there don't expect your complaints to have any effect. More likely you will just get an, OK you can go now, with a sneer from the staff.
