Staying at Aloha was a mixed experience for me. The location was absolutely ideal for the whale shark experience, and I loved the proximity to the beach. However, my room was a bit cramped and some amenities were lacking. Overall, it met my needs and I would consider returning.

I had a pleasant stay at Aloha. it's literally next door to the whale shark swimming activity, which made everything super convenient. The owner was extremely friendly and ensured I was well taken care of during my stay. While my shower was a bit weak and lacked hot water, it didn’t detract too much from the overall experience.
