I was pleased with the quality of the rooms. They were comfortable, well-maintained, and provided all the necessary amenities for a relaxing stay. The location of the hotel was also excellent, offering easy access to nearby attractions and boasting a beautiful beach just a stone's throw away. Upon arrival, I had a great check-in experience. The staff was friendly, efficient, and made me feel welcome right from the start. It set a positive tone for the rest of my stay.

While the breakfast offered at the hotel was satisfactory, it didn't quite match the standards set by other aspects of my stay. It was decent but lacked the variety and freshness I had hoped for. For dinner, I decided to try the a la carte pizza. Unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. The flavor was lacking, and the overall quality was disappointing. I made sure to provide feedback to the waiters in the hopes that it would be taken constructively for future improvement.

The hotel has an amazing location right at the beach, the rooms are very nice and the beds really comfortable. Breakfast was good and delicious and the staff was super friendly. And I highly recommend the cheap massage with a view at the ocean.

A la carte menu didn’t had much options and quite pricy for average food.

The place, the design and layout of the hotel, extremely friendly staff

The WiFi is almost not existing. Only around reception it worked reasonable. And as the safaricom network is very bad there too one has to go to the reception area for any kind of communication. If this problem can be solved I will come again if not, sorry. I can imagine that I'm not the only one who suffers with this issue. Thus I would highly recommend the management to install a modern WiFi system in order to avoid loss of clients

The Staff were great; all the way from the Manager to the Waiters and Gatekeeper. They were pleasant and helpful. Beautiful and peaceful beaches, devoid of the harassment from Beach Boys, usually experienced in Diani and Mombasa's Noth Coast. Breakfast was great with a variety of juices, even though the majority were not fresh, I.e. from the Supermarket, lots of pastries/ bread/pancakes, cereals, different types of eggs, sausages, etc.

The rooms are dark during day time and one has to keep the lights on. The facilities were clean but a lot of them, including towels were old and need revamping and modernising.The kettle was broken and there was no desk to write on, except the same one with the Coffe tray. The Menu was limited and quite expensive for live-in guests.

On the first day, the room I was given got flooded, the staff moved me to a new & better room immediately. The pool is iconic and the fact that the sea is right there?? Fabulous.

Loved the pool and the beach being right there. The food was excellent as was the service.

There were weevils that caused some sand like dust in the room, which was not so nice to walk on. It also fell in our bed, but they managed that by covering our bed which we greatly appreciated.

Quiet complex. Located directly by the beach, easy access to the beach. The room was spacious and with air conditioning. Nice swimming pool. We enjoyed the breakfast: a lot of options to choose from and very friendly staff.

À la carte food a bit expensive.
