"We booked the most expensive room which cost a fortune. When we arrived the room was occupied as they had sold it twice. They put us in the cheapest room with noisy air conditioning and no lock on the patio door. Blaned Hotels.com and offered no compensation or even a courtesy something. "

"Hotel was welcoming, stylish and located a couple of minutes from the best side of the beach. The rooms are a little smaller than they appear on the photos but spotlessly clean, modern and well equipped. The atmosphere and cocktails were great, & breakfast was lovely with lots of choice. Hotel staff were incredibly friendly and could not do enough to help - particular thanks to Imash for his help and advice."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Polhena?
The best area to stay in Polhena is right along Polhena Beach itself, particularly the stretch between the main Polhena Beach Road and the coastline.

This area is the heart of Polhena, offering direct access to the beach and its calm, reef-protected waters. You'll find a good selection of guesthouses and small hotels tucked away on side streets just off the main road, many with ocean views. It's a relaxed, low-key spot with local eateries and dive shops scattered along the beachfront.

Couples looking for a tranquil beach escape will find this area perfect. The calm waters are ideal for swimming and snorkelling, and you can easily enjoy sunset strolls along the shore. Many accommodations here offer a laid-back vibe, superb for unwinding.

Families with younger children will also appreciate staying directly on Polhena Beach. The shallow, protected lagoon makes it a very suitable place for children to swim and play in the sea without strong currents.
When is the best time to go to Polhena?
The best time to visit Polhena is generally from November to April, during the dry season, which offers consistently pleasant weather for beach activities and exploring.

During these months, you can expect plenty of sunshine and minimal rainfall, making it ideal for enjoying Polhena's calm, reef-protected beaches and swimming in the ocean. The calmer seas are also great for snorkelling and diving, allowing you to easily spot the local marine life, including turtles.

Couples looking for a relaxing beach getaway will find this period particularly appealing. The warm, sunny days are great for unwinding on the sand, enjoying romantic sunset strolls, or trying out water sports together. The relaxed pace of life in Polhena during this season makes it a wonderful escape.

Solo travellers will also appreciate the favourable weather for exploring.
