Beach Luxury Hotel

There's no beach (just some mud with smelly sewerage), luxury would be an overstatement but at $100 / £50 per night with breakfast overall it's good value. Expect to pay £4 / $8 from the airport if the driver doesn't try to rip you off (like all my drivers tried to). 30 years ago it would have been a grand place. Trouble is that not much has been updated since. Cleanliness is not good by European standards. If you can accept all that, rooms are very large with water view over a palm lined pleasant garden with pool. (Rubbish dumps and grime in the other direction if you get a corner room. Aircon, fan, fridge and shower all worked well and the bed was clean and comfortable. The TV appeared to have lots of channels but had such poor reception was unwatchable - and theer was no remote control. Free WiFi didn't work very well, but was much better than no WiFi. I didn't use the gym. There's not much else to do on site or nearby. Staff were all very friendly and well intentioned. Breakfast was reasonable; if you can bear the smell of sewerage in the water, the buffet dinner on the floating pontoon was very good value at about £8 / $15 including fresh juice / lassi. Overall it doesn't claim to be anything more than 3 star and this is Pakistan, not the Middle East - so for the price it's more than a reasonable choice. Would I come back? I would try very hard not to go back to Karachi at all, but if I had to and didn't want to spent much I would probably come back here or try the sister Avanti Towers
