Rooms
The rooms at JKAB Beach Resort present a mixed bag of experiences, with some guests finding them clean and comfortable while others encountered issues with maintenance and cleanliness. Many rooms are described as spacious, with some offering pleasant views of the sea and essential amenities like air conditioning, hot water, and facilities for tea and coffee. However, there are frequent reports of tired-looking interiors that could benefit from a fresh coat of paint and general upkeep.

While some guests appreciate the proximity to the beach and the cozy atmosphere of the small cottages, others note that the chalets and accommodations feel old and worn out, with size and cleanliness being points of concern. Many comments about cramped and dirty rooms, including reports of dust and plumbing issues, suggest that maintenance could be significantly improved.

Despite these downsides, the resort offers good facilities, including a large pool, and some families enjoyed the convenience and comfort of family bungalows by the pool. Overall, JKAB Beach Resort offers some comfortable room options, albeit with varying degrees of quality and need for better setting standards.

Beds
Travelers visiting JKAB Beach Resort frequently praise the comfort of the beds, highlighting them as most comfortable with excellent bedding and clean conditions. Guests have found the mattresses to be very comfortable, adding to the overall restful experience. However, some reviews point out areas needing improvement. Beds in the wooden cottages by the beach tend to be narrow, and some have been found relatively small. There have been instances of beds lacking sheets or pillowcases, and certain blankets have been noted to be scratchy with stains and old hair. While the resort excels in providing comfortable beds, attention to these details could enhance the guest experience further.

Cleanliness
JKAB Beach Resort presents a mixed picture when it comes to cleanliness. While the beautifully kept grounds and a very clean pool are commendable, other aspects leave much to be desired. Many guests have noted the overall cleanliness of the rooms and facilities as poor, with some pointing out extremely dirty conditions from check-in. Common areas like the beach and restaurant tables frequently suffer from cleanliness issues, not meeting the expected standards. Although room cleaning services are available upon request, the overall maintenance and housekeeping practices appear inconsistent, sometimes bordering on non-existent. In particular, bathrooms often require renovation due to unpleasant smells and outdated fixtures. The presence of some hygiene issues, including infrequent linen changes and minimal toiletries, further detracts from a satisfactory stay. While there are some positive notes on specific amenities, a thorough clean and an overhaul of maintenance operations could significantly improve guest experiences at the resort.
