We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and truly enjoyed every moment. The atmosphere was peaceful, and we felt very well rested and recharged. What stood out to us in particular was the thoughtful gesture of preparing dinner earlier just for us. We truly appreciated this extra effort and certainly don’t take it for granted. Thank you for the excellent service – we would gladly return!

Wonderful place. Lovely beach, comfortable huts, delicious food, friendly staff. Bikes, kayaks and paddleboards are free to use. Kayaking through the mangroves, biking through the villages on the island, having a local beer at the beach, this place is like paradise.

The place is amazing, in the heart of nature. Everything is spontaneous and relaxed. You have your time and space, and you can choose what you want to do on the island as there are many activities. Take you time. Breakfast and dinner are delicious. The stuff are polite.. Enjoy mornings with bird sounds....

Wonderful food. Kind staff. Beautifully calm. So much exciting nature. Super clean - everywhere, was spotless. Couldn't do more to help and ensure you were having an amazing time. Felt totally looked after. Communication to arrive safely was so helpful. The free use of paddle/canoe/bicycles is so generous.

Location!people!

All was magical

Stayed in February 2023

Food is only ok and unfortunately not typical but very much adapted to European/French cuisine. There are no other options where to eat.

The hotel is quite remote and only to reach by boat but allows for nice walks in the mangroves. Facilities offer many options for activities and to rest.

Pricing was totally different and you have no option but to pay up or you don't get out of the mangroves! Very limited menu

Everything except the check out and the fact that it was not the price given by booking! We got charged per person... All the staff were loveky.... Very peaceful place

mUnfortunately, the bicycles were not in working condition, and the sports equipment was also broken. Additionally, the light in our room wasn’t working, which was a bit inconvenient.

First night we were almost the only guests and number of staff was much more numerous than our group, in spite of it we felt only a little interest. We ordered next day at reception village tour which was fine but in the end we were target of cheating. Reception staff wants to pay for all activities "sideways" which we did but had not unfortunately exact amount of money. We gave therefore the cash to our guide who went to change the cash for smaller one. In the end he told us we gave him nothing and wanted to pay twice. And reception staff was on his side. What a strange game you are playing in Hakuna Lodge! The food (especially breakfast) was rather poor and not worth the price, hygienic standards are not good.

Very nice location in clean nature, perfect swimming and water activities. Rooms simple as in presentation but interesting, especially the outdoor shower.

We were a bit disappointed as the staff really let us on our own (did not about beach towels, how to book for activity, how much we would pay for lunch/dinner etc.) and always food especially lunch was quite expensive for the quality it was not particularly tasty and not very local

The location is amazing! Hotel offers many free activities (e.g., kayak, etc.) and the room were nice and clean

Most the issues relate to prices. The food tasted good but guests should be offered some options e.g. the choice between fish or meat or vegetarian. The price for lunch and dinner is also high for predominantly fish meals or hard boiled egg starters. The breakfast consists of just bread and jam and there are extra charges for eggs or yoghurt that should really be given for free. Biking was really fun but because they only have two bikes for the whole site we had to use the electric ones which cost double the price. The wifi is really bad/virtually doesn’t work. A large group woke up the whole camp at 5am when they were leaving, they slammed doors and talked for one hour as they packed their bags.

The staff here are incredibly nice and warm and helpful. You get the sense they are all great friends and they really go out of their way to help. The chef is great and the food quality high. The transfer was incredibly smooth. Great music and really nice cocktails.
