    The all inclusive package was super limited - it does not include wine and basic mocktails.

    The location was great and perfect for relaxation. The food was great and tasty! The staff are very friendly and accommodating. I loved it!

    The WiFi connection is poor . It is available in all public areas but it lags and has really poor connections which is a major inconvenience. Would suggest they get extenders for other areas (especially the rooms) and a better network provider for the connection. Another thing to be cognisant of is that not all the tourists understand Swahili or Italian so when playing the games or doing the activities with the animation team - to primarily speak English which everyone can understand or play the games in English , Italian and Swahili continuously so nobody feels left out or is confused.

    Beautiful location. Very friendly and attentive staff. Lots to do in the resort itself - daily activities and shows. The food was great - a very nice variety and buffet style so you can choose what good suits you. So much about this stay was amazing . Looks exactly like the pictures . White sand private beach with security.

    That my stay came to an end😂.... Honestly,i couldnt fault anything.It was worth it all the way

    Very beautiful ambience,right on the beach ...comfortable facilities,private location and the most amazing hospitable staff ....from check-in all the way to house keeping! The staff at Jumbo really care about their guests.No request was a bother...special mention goes to Francis(restaurant/bar) and Mohammed.Wow....i was really touched by the genuineness of the care here. (Francis thank you for the dawa-you made our stay fantastic all of you). World class staff😊.Hospitality was on another level here....you guys have to visit Jumbo and experience it for yourselves! I was there recently and i will definitely be back in future.

    I did not realise how Italian centric it was. Felt a bit left out of the resort entertainment but the staff tried to be as accommodating as possible

    Everything, but more especially the staff. We were treated beyond well.

    Would suggest to improve in the All-Inclusive concept, i.e. very limited drinks.

    1. The staff is so friendly, professional and helpful, deliver a quality customer service, special thanks to Mr. Joseph in the bar and to Mr. William in the restaurant. 2. The facilities are clean and very comfortable. 3. The food was excellent

    The hotel exceeded our expectations in many regards. Mainly the staff was very nice and trying to help you always out. The pearl of this hotel is that the managers/owners were with all the time and had the overview on many things such as food. The food was incredible! I really suggest you come to this place. The beach was also beautiful. You could have a nice swim during high tides as well since the waves in this part of the city are not that high.

    The sellers on the beach were a bit too much trying to sell but the hotel guards were taking care of it. Supermarket and the ATM were far away and the butique at the hotel didn't have many things to offer.

    Very friendly and willing to help staff. Many activities like pool gym, streching, games and beach party. Beach was amazing and not crowded put peaceful and nice sandy.

    A nice place in Jackaranda. Its little out of Watamu, accessible only by dirt-road. But because of this, you are less disturbed by beach-boys. Nice sea and confortable sunbeds. Not crowded at all. Very fair price! Italian managers Angelina and Massimilianl are really open and helpful.
