Where to stay
There are few hotels and motels in Kuakata as the most
attractive tourist resort site has yet to be tapped by its full potentials
through a global campaign. Hotel Banani Palace is one of those which is located
close to the beach for having the most pleasant views of the sunrise and
sunset. Rooms and bathrooms are quite modern in Banani and the room rent is
also quite reasonable in between Tk 800-2500.
There are some other hotels too and all those are also near
the beach --"Hotel Kuakata Inn", "Hotel Grevar Inn",
"Hotel Sea Palace", “Anandabari Guest House”, “Hotel Shoikot”, “Sagorkonna
Resort”, “Golden Palace”, “Biswas Sea Palace”, “Hotel Mohona”, “Hotel Nilanjona”,
“Hotel Sky Palace” and "Hotel Al-Hera.” And most of the hotels are located
in the Kuakata Parjatan Area under Kalapara upazila of Patualkhali district.
And all those hotels are quite reasonable for their
accommodation charges considering their low room rent in local currency and the
only impediment is the bumpy road which could be forgotten when someone reaches
the sandy beach with bounty full of natural beauty.
Food delicacies
All the tasty treats of Bangladeshi cuisines and
mouth-watering dishes are available in all those hotels along with some
roadside food shops serving semi-Chinese and fast-foods as those are popular
among the local tourists. But local foods like rice, different dishes of
curries prepared with chickens, beefs and sea fishes are quite delicious and
the best for consumption fresh from the over. Having the taste of fresh cooked
Hilsha fish and some other fishes like Rupchanda could be memorable for years.
