**Comoros' BEST Kept Secret: Test Hotel Training5 (Insider Review!)**
Comoros' BEST Kept Secret: Test Hotel Training5 (Insider Review…and a Whole Lot More!) - Prepare to Be Amazed (and Maybe Slightly Annoyed!)
Alright, folks, buckle up. You’re diving headfirst into the (potentially slightly chaotic) world of my experience at Comoros' BEST Kept Secret: Test Hotel Training5. Let me tell you, this place…it's an experience. And I mean that in the best, most confusing, and sometimes utterly hilarious way. Forget polished travel brochures; this is real talk, warts and all. Think of this as a rambling, slightly sleep-deprived diary entry, with SEO sprinkled in (for those of you still obsessed with Google juice).
First Impressions (or, How I Almost Got Lost in a Hotel Lobby)
So, getting to the hotel. Comoros. Remote. The airport shuttle eventually showed up (airport transfer – check!). The first thing that hits you is the… well, let's call it unique architecture. It's kind of a mish-mash of styles, with a lobby that feels like it could host a small botanical garden (indoor venue for special events – maybe?). Finding the actual reception desk took me a hot minute. (Doorman – present, but perhaps a little lost himself.)
Accessibility - A Mixed Bag… But Mostly Okay!
- Wheelchair accessible: Yes, the main areas are fairly accessible. Elevators (elevator – check!) were functioning, and ramps were available, which is a huge win for Comoros. However, some of the pathways to the outdoor areas could use a little work, and the signage…let's just say, it's not exactly Braille-ready.
- Facilities for disabled guests: They do claim to have them…but I'd recommend calling ahead and confirming the specifics, just to be on the safe side.
Rooms: The Good, the Bad, and the Extra Pillow
My room? (Available in all rooms – Yes!) It was a decent size and, thankfully, non-smoking. (Non-smoking rooms – Obviously!) Air conditioning (check!) was a godsend in the Comorian heat. Blackout curtains were essential for catching some Zs after a long day. Complimentary tea/coffee maker (check!) was perfect. As for the Internet access – wireless (obviously!), it was free (Wi-Fi [free] – BOOM!) and mostly worked… sometimes. More on that later.
Now for the quirks: The bathtub (another check!) was… well, let's say it had character. The shower pressure was… inconsistent. And the bathroom phone? I'm pretty sure it hadn't been used since the hotel opened. But hey, I had a hair dryer (check!) and a mini bar (double-check!). And an extra long bed (check!). And a desk (check!). And a view! My god, the view! (Window that opens – big check!).
Internet: A Comorian Adventure
Okay, let's talk about the Internet access. They boast "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" and "Internet [LAN]". The Wi-Fi? Well, it's… there. Sometimes it's blazing fast, sometimes it's dial-up in the 90s. My advice? Don't expect to stream HD movies. Mostly I just used the Wi-Fi in public areas to check email. The Internet services weren't bad, but the best solution to use the internet was to go to a restaurant (coffee shop- check! and restaurant--check!) and ask the waiter the password.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Adventure (or the Occasional Hangry Meltdown)
The food situation at Test Hotel Training5 is… an adventure.
- Breakfast [buffet]: The buffet in restaurant was included! The Asian breakfast was definitely a highlight. They had fresh fruit. (Essential condiments, right?)
- Restaurants: The restaurants… well, what you expected? The only thing you will find is the variety of meals--the Western and Asian cuisine in restaurant and the International cuisine in restaurant.
- Room service [24-hour]: YES! (and a lot of times it worked, but you have to be patient).
- Poolside bar: They had one, and it was a lifesaver. Happy hour? You betcha (Happy hour – check!).
- Snack bar: Yup.
- Coffee/tea in restaurant: Available, essential.
- Bottle of water: Provided.
- Additional notes: They have Vegetarian restaurant option.
Things to Do (and How to Survive the Heat)
- Swimming pool [outdoor]: Absolutely gorgeous, with a pool with a view (Pool with view – check!). Spend HOURS there!
- Gym/fitness: The fitness center existed. I saw it. I didn't go in. (Gym/fitness – technically present, but the motivation… lacking.)
- Spa: Yes, a Spa/sauna - and it was actually really lovely. (Sauna – check!) Their massage (Massage – check!) was divine. Okay, this is where I totally relaxed. Highly recommend.
- Things to do? Well, you go out to the city, beaches, or villages.
Cleanliness and Safety: Feeling Secure-ish
- Cleanliness and safety are taken seriously (I think).
- Hand sanitizer was everywhere.
- Staff trained in safety protocol: Seemed so.
- Daily disinfection in common areas: I saw it.
- Rooms sanitized between stays: hopefully.
Services and Conveniences: The Perks (and the Quirks)
- Concierge: They were helpful, but sometimes a bit… slow.
- Currency exchange: Present.
- Dry cleaning/Laundry service: Yes.
- Luggage storage: Available.
- Daily housekeeping: They did an excellent job; my room was always sparkling!
- Safety deposit boxes: check!
- Cash withdrawal: Yes.
- Gift/souvenir shop: a little place to buy gifts.
- Air conditioning in public area: Of Course, essential in Comoros
For the Kids (and the Kid in You)
- Family/child friendly: They seemed to be, although I didn’t see any kids.
- Babysitting service: Available, but book in advance.
Getting Around: Airport Run, Anyone?
- Airport transfer: They got me there, eventually.
- Car park [free of charge]: Check!
- Taxi service: readily available.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups. This itinerary isn't a perfectly polished travel brochure. This is me attempting to wrangle chaos into a semblance of a plan. We’re going to TEST HOTEL - Test Hotel Training5 - DO NOT BOOK Test City Comoros. (Just, you know, in my mind… and this document. Don't actually go there. Trust me.)
Day 1: The Pre-Adventure Anxiety Games and the Coffee Debacle
- Time: 7:00 AM - 8:00 AM: Wake up, try to look like I've slept. (Spoiler: I haven't. The pre-trip jitters have been working overtime. My stomach feels like a washing machine full of angry squirrels). Pack last-minute essentials – like deodorant, because, let's be honest, that's a gamble on any trip!
- Time: 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Breakfast Attempt Numero Uno. (This is where it all falls apart, typically). I’m picturing a glorious continental spread, you know, the works. Reality? Stale toast, some questionable looking fruit, and that coffee machine… well, let’s just say it looked like it had a personality of its own. It spat out lukewarm, barely-coffee-flavored water that tasted vaguely of despair. Seriously, they should've at least labeled it "Liquid Disappointment."
- Time: 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM: The Flight Fiasco - Part I. Getting to the airport – the first hurdle! This is where I'm supposed to be a calm, collected traveler. Instead, I’m a sweaty mess, running late because, shocker, I underestimated how long it takes to find my shoes. Traffic was a nightmare. I'm picturing the flight’s boarding door getting closed, the flight taking off… I panic. I think I actually saw the plane take off.
- Time: 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM: The Flight Fiasco - Part II. The flight is delayed, naturally. The airport feels like a waiting room to purgatory. I'm stuck in my seat. It's a cramped airplane. I could hear a baby crying in the background - this is not the paradise I was picturing. I'm pretty sure the person next to me is a professional snorer. But that's okay, I have books downloaded on my phone, the flight attendants are very kind, I'm eating snacks and finally relaxing (hopefully!).
- Time: 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Arrival and Hotel Check-In. Test Hotel - Test Hotel Training5. After a grueling flight, finally the arrival. The lobby looked promising, and I was immediately hoping for a nice room. And then… the room. It's not terrible, but the view is… well, it's not the postcard view they promised. I get the feeling this test hotel is not as good as it could have been. Honestly, it feels like they got the wrong window… Still, it's not a complete disaster.
- Time: 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Acclimatization and Hotel Exploration. Taking a walk around, checking out the pool. But most importantly, the gym. (Don't judge – I need to burn off the airplane stress AND make room for all the delicious food I plan to consume). I also try to order room service. The menu is… questionable but I place my order.
- Time: 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM: The Room Service Adventure. Okay, my room service arrived. It was pretty sad, but whatever. I had it. I also felt like I would spend my evening just staring at the wall. I was a little down. I needed to pick myself up.
- Time: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Dinner Prep. Because, let’s be honest, eating is the emotional cornerstone of any trip. I was hoping for a restaurant.
- Time: 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Dinner at the hotel restaurant (or a nearby establishment that isn't a total tourist trap). Praying for edible food! Praying harder it's not more of that coffee-flavored despair. Will report back with verdict.
Day 2: Discoveries & the Culinary Experiment… or the Lack Thereof
- Time: 7:00 AM - 8:00 AM: Wake up. Try the coffee again. (Big mistake. Seriously, I should just bring my own instant at this point. Or maybe I should try calling room service and asking for a coffee from one of my favorite stores).
- Time: 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Breakfast again, but this time, I venture out and try a bit of local cuisine – because, you know, embrace the culture! I try something exotic. And it's… interesting. Let's just say my taste buds are experiencing a whole new level of "what the heck is that?" I'll be writing notes in my journal.
- Time: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Exploration. Okay, this is where my inner explorer usually shines. I walk around. I see the local marketplaces. I take a few photos. I pretend I’m a sophisticated traveler capable of spontaneous adventures. Truthfully, I'm just mostly just wandering around, slightly lost, and secretly hoping there are public toilets nearby. I'm trying to get used to this climate. I'm starting to like it.
- Time: 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch. Hoping to find a safe, delicious haven after my culinary adventure earlier. I'm picturing a local cafe. Maybe.
- Time: 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Reaching my hotel. Time to rest a bit. I get a massage. Finally, I'm starting to feel relaxed…
- Time: 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: This is where I dive deep, because what they don't tell you is how you discover so much about yourself in foreign places. I get inspired to write a bit.
- Time: 5:00 PM- 7:00 PM: The dinner hunt. Now, for dinner. I'm looking for a restaurant with a good view. I wander and explore. Again.
- Time: 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Dinner. I'm back at the hotel. The dinner was… okay. Nothing I write home about.
Day 3: Reflection, Departure, and the Unfinished Adventure
- Time: 7:00 AM - 8:00 AM: Wake up. Try to pack, fail miserably.
- Time: 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: The Breakfast Routine. Sigh.
- Time: 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM: Final Exploration. A couple last-minute souvenir hunts, because, gotta bring something back to prove I was actually here. And a visit to a local cafe. I find a good coffee.
- Time: 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM: Last Reflections. I finish my last notes.
- Time: 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Airport Drama Part III. The journey home… I am ready for it, but also… not ready.
- Time: 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: The Flight.
- Time: 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Getting home.
Okay, so maybe this isn't the most impressive itinerary you've ever seen. I'm not claiming to be a seasoned travel guru. I'm just a human, winging it, trying not to lose my mind (or my passport). But hey, the imperfections are the experiences, right? And maybe, just maybe, I'll actually learn how to pack a suitcase properly someday.
This is just a starting point. Each day will be filled with changes. I plan to make it up as I go.
Wish me luck. I'm going go need it!
Escape to Paradise: Mirvana Nature Resort & Camp Sorhakor, India
So, like, what IS this whole "FAQ" thing about, anyway?
Ugh, fine. Yeah, it's supposed to be "Frequently Asked Questions." Basically, a bunch of stuff people, in a perfect world, *actually* ask. Which, let's be honest, is usually a fantasy. But hey, I'll try to anticipate the head-scratchers. You know, the ones that pop up when you're staring blankly at a website, wondering... well, *something*. And honestly, half the time, *I'm* the one asking the questions! My mind wanders more than a caffeinated squirrel.
Why are you making this? Is it, like, a job? Because I'm sensing some...vibes.
Alright, you caught me. This isn't exactly a paid gig. Although, wouldn't that be nice? Bills, am I right? Nope, this is me, rambling. And yes, I'm aware of the... vibey-ness. Look, sometimes I just *have* to get things out of my head. If I don't, my brain starts doing that thing where it overthinks everything until I feel like I'm swimming in a sea of existential dread. So, welcome to my therapy session, folks! Consider it a public service (maybe).
Okay, okay, deep breaths... But... what *ARE* the Frequently Asked Questions about?! I'm still a little confused.
Ugh. Details. Fine. I'm just gonna... well, pretend to answer some common questions (which, lets be honest, are usually all about the boring nitty gritty like "how much does it cost" and "when does it ship"). Basically, its supposed to be about [**INSERT YOUR ACTUAL SUBJECT MATTER HERE**]. Let's say... building elaborate, yet impractical, tree houses. So, we're talking blueprints, wood types, the whole shebang. You know, the stuff that gets your inner child absolutely buzzing with anticipation, even if your *outer* adult is screaming about structural integrity and insurance. Look its complicated and it's meant to be.
Speaking of blueprints... do you actually *have* any? Like, real, usable ones? Please say yes!
Hahaha! Oh, honey, if I had *usable* blueprints, I wouldn't be here talking to *you*. I'd be on a tropical island, sipping something fruity, watching the sunset from my *perfectly* balanced treehouse. But alas... No. I have... doodles. Lots and *lots* of doodles. Scribbles on napkins. Chicken scratch in the margins of old novels. The occasional meticulously drawn, and completely mathematically incorrect, sketch. It's more like a dream board meets controlled chaos. But hey, creativity thrives in chaos, right? Right??
Alright, let's get practical (Ugh). What kind of wood do you recommend for your treehouses of questionable stability?
Okay, so... wood. Here's the thing: I've actually had a treehouse collapse. Twice! (Don't judge, it was a learning experience!). So, I *think* I have a tenuous grasp of the subject. First off, avoid anything that'll rot in a gentle breeze. Redwoods are nice, but expensive. Cedar is fragrant, but not the most rugged. Honestly, go for something local, sustainable, and preferably not prone to attracting termites. Then, brace yourself for the cost – because good wood is *never* cheap. And always, *always* pressure-treat it! Trust me from the last time, the bugs aren't friend. Learn from my mistakes.
What about the tree itself? What kind of trees can actually *hold* a treehouse without becoming a sad, stressed-out mess?
This is the million-dollar question, isn't it? Honestly, it depends. You need a sturdy, established tree with a good spread of branches. Oak trees are generally a safe bet. Maples are lovely, but can be a bit brittle. Avoid anything too young or weak. I once tried building a treehouse in a weeping willow. Bad idea. *Very* bad idea. It was like trying to build on a giant, green, crying spaghetti monster. The tree, I mean. The whole thing sagged, then tilted, and I ended up with a face full of leaves and a bruised ego. So... learn from me, stick with the solid choices. And consult an arborist. Seriously.
What's the *most* important thing to keep in mind when building one of these things? Safety? Structural integrity? Chocolate?
Ooh, good question! Honestly? All the above, with a significant dose of "don't kill yourself or anyone else." But here's the thing: the *most* important thing is the sheer joy of creation. The feeling of getting back in touch with the sense of wonder. The messy, frustrating, exhilarating experience. That's the point, right? The journey. The chocolate's pretty important too. It will get you through the tougher moments of being stuck on a branch.
So, about those "experiences"... have you actually *built* any of these treehouses, or are we just spitballing here?
Oh, *I've* built treehouses. Mostly over the past 20 years. Some successful, some... less so. *One time*, I was obsessed with the idea of a spiral staircase leading up to a multi-level palace in the sky. I'd seen a picture in a book, and that was it. I spent *months* planning, measuring, sourcing materials... you know, the whole bit. I was even *convinced* I knew how to use a circular saw (I didn't). So, finally the big day comes. The sun is shining, birds are singing, and I'm feeling like a freaking treehouse god. I start sawing, and... well, let's just say the saw and I had a heated discussion about the merits of proper technique. I promptly sent a chunk of wood flying, which then hit me in the head, and next thing I know, I'm seeing stars and lying on the ground, the unfinished staircase looming over me, mocking my hubris. Did I finish the staircase? Almost! It was a disaster, and it only lead to people getting hurt and a very angry tree. But hey, I learned a lot about physics that day! Mostly about the physics of tripping over things!
Okay, okay... So what’s the main advice you have to share?
