I recently stayed at Shaatam Resorts for New Year’s, and honestly, it was one of the most disappointing experiences I've ever had.
To start with, we checked in on December 31st, only to find out that there was a massive personal party happening, for which they were charging guests an exorbitant amount of 2,500 per person. We were assured that the party would wrap up by 1 AM, but it continued on until 3 AM! Despite our repeated complaints, the staff merely stated they had "requested the owner" to shut it down, but that did nothing to alleviate the noise or our frustration. If we wouldn't have raised complaints they were not considering to get it stop themselves.
On top of that, the resort had no cellular signal, which made communication impossible. We were counting on their Wi-Fi, only to learn it was completely non-functional. They claimed it was due to wires being interrupted by a drunk guest, but the truth is much more alarming: it was clearly stated during sign in to wifi that the Wi-Fi was down due to overdue payments. This is simply unacceptable for a resort that charges such high rates!
The combination of the loud party and the lack of Wi-Fi left us feeling completely isolated and unable to relax during what was supposed to be a joyful celebration. I was traveling with my elderly parents, and it was exasperating—none of us could get any sleep until around 4 AM.
What makes the situation even worse is that the management didn’t offer any form of compensation or even a genuine apology for the distress caused. They should have never taken bookings for guests during the time of such a large party, especially when they couldn't manage the situation.
Overall, my experience at Shaatam Resorts was nothing short of pathetic. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. Save your money and look elsewhere!
