Gaskara Guesthouse

很好 餐饮太贵需要改进

Thank you, Gaskara Guesthouse, and thank you, Maroshi Island, for this unforgettable experience! The guesthouse rooms are simple but well-equipped, and the bathroom is spacious. While room service isn’t available, you’ll enjoy a delicious breakfast, with options including continental, American, or a traditional local breakfast. Some of the ingredients even come from fresh produce grown right in front of the guesthouse — such a unique touch! Maroshi Island is a peaceful, non-touristy destination, with a population of around 500 people. The guesthouse is the only accommodation here, and my mother and I were the only tourists on the island. There are no bars or cafes, but you can find three small markets. You can also enjoy meals at the guesthouse. A few things to note: • There isn’t a private beach, so it’s recommended to wear long swimwear and cover up with clothes during the day. • The beaches and palm areas have some litter, as there isn’t much maintenance, but the palm tree beach is stunning. It’s a great spot for snorkeling, where you can explore vibrant underwater life — this was definitely the highlight of my trip! • A sign at reception mentions fines for public displays of affection, but I’m not sure how strictly this is enforced. They did say it’s fine if you’re alone on the beach. • Additionally, there’s a daily tax of $6 per person, and a service fee to keep in mind. The island gives the feeling of being on a secluded, almost deserted paradise. It was even quieter during Ramadan, adding to the peaceful atmosphere. Maazin showed us around the island, sharing fascinating stories, including the history of an ancient tree over 400 years old. The staff at the guesthouse were incredibly helpful in organizing transportation and made us feel very comfortable and welcome throughout our stay. If you’re traveling on a budget and crave a serene escape without any hustle and bustle, this place is your perfect paradise!

Climate, quiet
