Great location.
Pros:

We had a fantastic stay at The Jam House. All the staff were super friendly and helpful the whole time. Location is fab as it is just a short 10-15 minute walk into the main town of Ahangama, but it is nice to be a little bit out of the busy part of town. The hotel is set back from the road so it isn’t noisy from the buses & tuk tuks. Would really recommend and would stay again if I visit Ahangama. We were a group of 5 who were spending the week surfing, Pilates & chilling. It was the perfect base for us to do all of those things.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

Nothing really. Location wasn't too bad but it's pretty much on the end of the main Ahangama strip

Cons:

Let's just say the photographer did a great job. Because the reality did not match up to the photos. Floor was extremely sticky and dirty. You can definitely get better rooms out there for the same price. It felt like a hostel and definitely not worth the price. Breakfast wasn't great, the food that was served did not match what was listed on the menu.

Super comfortable stay at the Jam House!
Pros:

What a great hotel! The room was big and the balcony was a perfect bonus. The SPA in the 3rd floor is the best I ever tried. There are cozy cafe for food across the road (ex Hakuna Matata). The staff were super friendly and everything was clean and professional. Highly reccomended!

Cons:

Nothing to report
