Dear Guest Thank you for the perfect 5 out of 5 rating you've given our 'amazing hotel' - JA Manafaru. We've noted your comment about the inconvenience of having a shower with half a wall open to the elements during the monsoon season. Hopefully, it will be a memorable experience you'll never forget! Safe travels.
