Which room accommodates three adults?
The Deluxe Triple Room accommodates up to three adults with one king-size bed and one single bed.
Dining
Can you accommodate dietary requests?
The team will accommodate dietary needs based on the guest’s request. Share allergies, intolerances or preferences early so the kitchen can confirm what can be arranged.
How early should Beach Dining be requested?
Request Beach Dining at least six hours in advance. The arrangement is paid, subject to weather and availability, and the current price is confirmed personally.
Activities
Who arranges activities and diving?
Activities are arranged through South Ari Dive Center, Seaside Dhangethi Inn’s sister company and Activity Partner. Guest enquiries may use the Seaside Dhangethi Inn contact number.
Are whale-shark or manta sightings guaranteed?
No. These are wild animals, and sightings depend on wildlife movement, weather and sea conditions. The activity team never guarantees an encounter.
Policies
What time are check-in and check-out?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM and check-out is by 12:00 PM. Contact the team if your travel connection requires a different arrangement.
Does submitting an inquiry confirm a reservation?
No. A Booking Inquiry asks the team to check availability and prepare an offer. Your stay is confirmed only through the later confirmation process.
Local-island stay
What should I know about staying on a local island?
Dhangethi is an inhabited local island. Swimwear is suitable at the designated bikini beach; dress respectfully in the village and follow local guidance during your stay.
