I did not have breakfast. I liked the location of the property as it is close to the beach. The view from the Wooden huts was beautiful - a Lovely beach with rarely any people on it. The staff were Very friendly and helpful. They supplied ample bottles of water every day which was very helpful as it meant I didn't have to carry heavy bottles of water from the town every day.

− There were only a few wooden hut type rooms available with sea view and these were very Expensive - very overpriced for the quality of the rooms. But they were the only rooms with a sea view. The rooms were old and dilapidated and there were partly built huts underneath them. The skirting boards and bathroom fixtures were in very old poor condition, allowing insects and cockroaches in. The rooms did not feel clean even after cleaning and there were insects in both of the rooms I used - one even on my bed as I sat on it reading. I reported this to Management but they said there was nothing they could do about that. There were numerous power cuts often lasting for hours. The Wifi would switch off for periods of time too. The second room I moved to was large but again, in poor condition and had no furniture in it apart from a bed, bedside table, wardrobe and suitcase holder. This meant there was nowhere to put my cosmetics, hair things etc. I asked twice for an additional table but my request was ignored. Some mornings, the water from the tap came out brown. I reported this too but was told this was usual and would improve during the day

Good for 2 days maximum.

Location is definitely good but you have to ask the housekeeper to clean the room daily.

− Oasis cafe which is a part of the woodpegger. Very limited options. Room with breakfast was not worth it.

I enjoyed staying here

Close to beach and restaurant. The Gardener was fantastic.

− I booked three nights at Woodpegger By The Beach hoping for a relaxing stay in Mandrem, but it turned out to be a complete nightmare. The room I was given was literally un-lockable. When I immediately brought this to the staff's attention, I was told, "Don't worry, it will be fixed in just a moment." One hour later, I returned to the room. Nothing had been done. I went back to reception to ask why, and they told me the handyman was on his lunch break. Another hour and a half passed (2.5 hours total of waiting with my belongings unsecured). When I went to reception again to demand an update, I was hit with the most pathetic excuse I have ever heard: the mechanic’s motorcycle had broken down, and there was too much traffic. Eventually, the guy from reception came to "fix" it himself. He only managed a temporary bodge job, and the lock still felt flimsy. I went back to the reception to speak to the ladies there to explain it wasn't actually fixed. They just shrugged it off and said they would call me when it was done. Spoiler alert: they never called My door stayed unlocked during tree days. Everyday, same story. The sheer arrogance and unreliability of the staff here is shocking. You cannot trust a single promise they make, and communication is impossible. The ONLY positive thing I can say about this terrible place is that it is close to the beach. Also, the gardener was absolutely fantastic—always saying hello, good morning, and stopping for a chat. He was the only person working there with any human decency. You should hire more people like him and fire the useless lot in the reception. Do yourself a favor and find literally anywhere else to stay in Mandrem.
