I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While I enjoyed the friendly interactions with the staff and the vibrant atmosphere, I found the rooms to be quite dated and the pool was not in great condition. The location was definitely a plus, being so close to the beach and several dining options, but the service left me wanting more, especially when it came to requests for basic amenities.

I had an adventurous stay at Badala Park, genuinely enjoying the clean and comfortable rooms. The staff were always cheerful and helpful, making it a welcoming atmosphere. However, the breakfast offerings felt a bit repetitive, and there were several disturbances from music and staff noise early in the morning. Overall, I found the location convenient for exploring and the lodge provided good value for the price.

My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. The rooms were in need of serious upkeep and cleanliness was a concern. However, the location was convenient with easy access to the beach and nearby restaurants. While the staff tried their best to be helpful, the overall experience fell short mainly due to the poor state of the facilities and some security issues.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the bright side, the staff were absolutely amazing, going above and beyond to ensure our comfort, and the location was quite convenient with easy access to the beach and local restaurants. However, the rooms were quite dated and in serious need of refurbishment, and the dining options, while tasty, were somewhat limited. Overall, if you're looking for value and an authentic experience, it could be worth it, but don't expect luxury.
