We stayed here for 9 days after our safari, and had booked this hotel based on the good reviews. We had a delightful stay. The hotel area is stunningly beautiful and the staff exceptional attentive and friendly. The food is very good, fresh sea food every day. We really liked the arrangement with the menu being written on a board in the afternoon.
The tide is no problem, with the pool and beach area so close to each other, and equally appealing. Lovely!
We have a few buts though, we would like to mention. We had booked through hotels.com, what was there called junior suite. Although our room was very elegant, it’s was a smaller then the impression we got from the website, and the sea view was quite limited. A tiny disappointment. The air condition only works until around two o’clock in the night due to pore power supply, leaving us with the fan, which made the rest of the night quite a warm experience, and reduced the sleep quality. The wi-fi is very limited, most of the days it was impossible to get any connection. But hey, you’re in Africa, so what to expect – hakuna matata!
When staying in good hotels, there are some things you get use to, which this hotel doesn’t offer; like complementary water and bath amenities such as shampoo, conditioner etc (there were only one shower soap, which lasted for a couple of days, no refill), so bring your own.
Because every expense is just written on the room, we didn’t tip anything to the waiters during the stay. Therefore we left quite a big tip for the staff with the manager at check out. We like the tipping box you find at some hotels!
All in all, we recommend this hotel because it’s so beautiful, the wonderful staff and the very good food. Thank you so much for an excellent stay!!
