Advantages: Good Beach

Disadvantages: Poor entertainment

The Travellers Tiwi is marked as a 4 elephant in the Somak brochure, and a five something or other on the travellers web site, it is neither, and I have been to 3 stars that have been better. The rooms themselves where very good, although the louver windows let the entire air con out and the bugs in. The food was varied but not well kept although some of their speciality nights where quite good, although if you use the al a carte Indian, Chinese, Italian and Seafood, the quality is better although the choice (for all inclusive) is very limited.
The entertainment was almost non-existent, with half hearted attempts to engage the guests in dull activities. The gym is not air conditioned and the squash courts let rain in thus limiting the activities when its raining.
You are not supposed to take drinks away from the bar, which is a real pain, especially when its hot and you need to keep hydrated. Not everything is included in the all- inclusive and you are not informed of what you have to pay for, as we found out to our cost when we ordered an ice cream, they are supposed to have a 24 hour tea/ coffee bar, and they don't, in fact when I asked for tea in the morning due to being up earlier than the allowed start time of 07:30 for breakfast the staff stopped me after my 3rd cup.
The Beach was very good, with security so you did not get bugged by the beach boys, although if you are willing to talk to them you can save a fortune on any trips you might want to arrange we spoke to Elephant (I know) and Eddie both helpful and honest.
The hotel in general was well layed out spacious and well kept.
