The hotel is on and almost in the Indian ocean. At high tide the waves strikes heavily the barriers of the beach stretch. The power of the ocean is amazing. The management care for details in all aspects, coushions on the beach beds, quality wooden beautiful furnitures in restaurant and outside rooms, amazing breakfast buffet with everything you need. The nearness to the ocean makes a quite narrow beach stretch which is positive: the beach boys are few cause they have very little space. I really like the local life of villagers and fishermen which you can watch and enjoy from the hotel. It gives whole Jambiani an authentic feeling. The restaurant is situated on the second floor which gives it a very fresh breeze. The food is tasty and rich. The staff cares for you, tries to remember your name and tries their absolutely best to make you feel like home.
