Disliked: Amenities
They charge for everything and they sneaky with it.I had paid full online for three nights and when I arrived they asked for a extra 18$ and why wasn't I charged when I book the room? Also breakfast in bed is supposed to be free but the next morning the skinny woman asked for service fee they even charge you to warm up the food.And then when I called Sweden that I don't the girl not serve me again because she talks back and have a nasty attitude they still send her to me.Also theirs mosquitoes and lizards.U wouldn't recommend this hotel it's too expensive and it's too far from the city

Trevligt ställe att avsluta intensiva dagar i Östafrika. Stranden är fantastisk trots att det på sina ställen ligger en del skräp, mest plast, som ju tyvärr är vanligt numera. Personalen är trevlig och tillmötesgående men pratar inte speciellt bra engelska, så det kan ta tid att kommunicera.

Fantastiskt hotell, rekommenderas starkt!

Supermysigt, litet hotell med fantastisk personal. Fina, ljusa, stora och fräscha rum, härlig pool med tillgång dygnet runt, bra mat och fantastiskt läge precis vid havet och stranden. Nancy i receptionen var hjälpsam i allt, Ocho som serverade var supertrevlig och vakterna var både roliga och trygghetsingivande. Alla i personalen var verkligen måna om att vistelsen skulle vara på topp, och det var den! Rekommenderas starkt!
