Alors, je ne pense pas être un client chiant. Mais, je travaille dans un hotel 4 étoiles comme chef de cuisine, j'ai pris poulpe 🐙 qui n'est pas top, si tu payes par carte 3% en plus et si tu payes par espèce 5% c'est incroyable. De plus l'hôtel son taux concernant l'échange entre l'euro et shilling. Le personnel est vraiment agréable et très calme.

This place is the beach resort experience we were looking for! Palapas, to lay under looking out over the beautiful sea, white sand, a pool and very friendly staff! The morning breakfast buffet had a lot of variety, the regular menu had plenty to choose from, and did I mention the staff was so pleasant! We stayed in the least expensive rooms bc we weren’t planning to spend much time there, they were more than sufficient with a comfy bed, cool AC and hot shower! It is a long walk from the rooms to the beach with a lot of stairs, we enjoyed the walk but it is not ADA friendly. We used the spa for a great haircut with Ali and lovely massages from Nuru, my son went sky diving with JJ, we booked an ATV tour with OSSELICHE Quad Tours and had a great time with Junior and crew. We had great service from Neha, Haji, Malele, Naheem, Frank and many others. And we enjoyed live entertainment, live music and bonfires at night. There may be more luxurious places but for our family with teens, it was perfect!

For the price, we think this property could be better maintained. We had a leak in our sink that was unable to be fixed during our stay. The room could have been cleaner overall. However, the location was great on the beach and the food at the hotel was delicious and reasonably priced.

This is a great value resort with lovely staff right on a beautiful stretch of beach. The spa is amazing. The food is a bit hit and miss but we still dined here every night so it’s not terrible. The photos don’t really do it justice.

I have travel to many beach resorts. By far this was the best place I have stayed at. What made the stay fun and enjoyable was the staff. Every employee was friendly and outgoing. The front desk was very helpful. Answered any question and was helpful. I could name people but it would be to many, everyone was great. Would love to come back one day.
