TL;DR
Hotel WiFi is free but unreliable, especially on the beach and evenings. An eSIM may be cheaper than a paid hotel WiFi package.

A traveler noted that the hotel reception desk displays a WiFi pricing board. It's worth checking current rates before arrival to compare against eSIM costs.

Free WiFi covers the whole hotel, but at Jasmine Beach the signal is nearly nonexistent. In the evenings, speeds drop significantly due to high load. Some rooms have dedicated routers, and guests there report much better connectivity.

Whether a weekly roaming package is worth it depends on hotel WiFi quality. Given the reported instability, a local SIM or eSIM is a more reliable option for consistent internet access throughout the stay.
