I never write reviews — especially negative ones — and I’m genuinely easy to please, but our stay at Awa Boutique Hotel deserved honesty. The hotel looks beautiful and has a great location, yet the experience fell far short of what was advertised. We booked one of their nicest rooms, and it was mosquito‑infested, with very minimal lighting that left the whole space dim. The neon sign over the bed, the exact feature that made me choose this room, was broken on arrival and never replaced.
A TV is considered an “add‑on”, not standard, which felt cheap for the price. The room had plenty of space but no table or seating inside, and the first balcony didn’t have seating either. The only place to sit was up the spiral stairs on the rooftop — pretty, but not practical.
Awa has potential, but the experience didn’t match the marketing or the price. Between the mosquitoes, broken neon sign, lack of lighting, missing seating, and the TV “upgrade,” it felt like style over substance. We were so disappointed that we ended up checking out a day early. I’m not someone who complains, but this stay genuinely warranted a review.
