    Rooms in general feel old, food could improve and the service itself was a bit slow and not always helpful. In general would need a bit of restyling.

    Beach, the location and the staff

    The staff, Bernard was extremely rude and had an attitude. The language barrier is difficult. Food is not good, no flavour, same thing everyday. Mosquitos were bad and lots of insects. Our room telephone wasn’t working, even though we complained, nobody came to fix it.

    I liked the scenery and how close we was to the beach, the sunsets were amazing.

    Food was average, there could be more drinks options at the bar as well. Furthermore, coffee could be a lot better.

    The hotel has its own sun bathing areas and a small infinity pool, also just near by the beach. The beach was marvelous with turquoise water and powdery white sand accompanied with beautiful sunset. Rooms are well attended and clean. The staff was were helpful and welcoming. Reception had 24/7 staff. Hotel architecture and garden was beautiful. It was by itself a sight to see. Definitely would like to visit again.

    Property is pretty dingy. As others have said already, wifi doesn't work most times. We checked in and door locks weren't working, most of our stay our cards wouldn't work to go in and out of our room. One of the AC was not working in one room most of the time. The phone never worked. For the money we paid, we expected much better. On site Buffett was expensive (for African standards, $20usd per adult) Qaulity of food was semi ok at this hotel.

    Location was great.

    Food could have been better. There are limited options on the menu, which is understandable. And wifi was not the best either. But it was never an issue.

    The place is beautiful and there is a private beach that can be accessed by easily which I absolutely loved. There are enough beach beds available, not directly on the beach but just few steps away. Was not at an issue. The place is very clean and nicely maintained. There are 3 swimming pools which were also clean. There is also a massage parlor inside the premises. I felt like I never needed to leave the hotel. They also organized evening shows like the acrobats, or Masai culture show which were superb. They also have a counter for Scuba diving bookings, Stone town tour booking etc which was very convenient

    Nice place, nice people but terrible front-desk management

    1. Room 128 had wet walls and a lot of areas with mold on the walls and outdated-worn, scratched furniture. 2. Bathroom - is spacious but has worn faucets and toilet 3. Room housekeeping is minimum, they do not change the bed sheets for a week until we strongly requested 3. Reception staff/front desk is terrible: - they do not provides reliable information about services about what is included: for example people from the pool bar and restaurant do not know what is included in full board and every day they change thei minds because they are told this way by front desk management - at the end they messed up on purpose the final bill - they extra charged us by mistake with bills from other rooms and soft drinks from the mini bar that we did not drink. At 12 AM they showed us a bill and we could not paid as there was no one at the cashier office to pay and few hours later the bill was double without no explanation from them. We provided them with evidence and they recalculated the bill. - late check out: we asked for the late check-out and in the morning they told us that was possible and then at 12 when we went to re-activate the card key they told us that was not possible anymore and asked to check out the room (one guy with bold huge head who recommended himself as supervisor said that he does not care what his colleague told us in the morning like the reception guy in the morning was from another planet not like one working in his team = bad management)

    Location, beach. security on the beach, food is good, generally all ok/good. Gardens, beach, and general look of the hotel are nice. Staff working in the restaurant and beach are friendly, smiling all the time and hard working.

    There was a lot of maintenance work going on at the time, which started early in the morning and didn't make for the best wake up experience. Although I understand that it was the time of the year to go about it.

    I really liked the fact that it was well integrated in the landscape, not the mega resort type of place. It had a very chill vibe, staff was super friendly and helpful, very well kept grounds.

    I was a bit disappointed with the lack of variety in the food options. I hope to see more diverse and flavorful choices in the future.

    I really enjoyed the resort’s facilities and the variety of activities available. Everything was well-organized and added a lot of value to my stay.
