ARYA Boutique Resort

I did not like the breakfast and the lack of food in the hotel, and I thought it was opposite the sea. There is a device in the reception that makes a sound that I could not sleep from. It was reported, but the sound continued. The shattaf in the bathroom was running water.

Hidden Gem! Highly recommended! The owner and the staff do the most to make sure your expectations are exceeded. Breakfast is beautiful selection of fresh fruits and juice and eggs. Brilliant!

Everything was Excellent

it is a truly boutique hotel as it only has like 6 rooms, our group was in 3 of them and no other guests, so it was like our own little hotel. Hanging out within the hotel was relaxing and enjoyable. The staff were friendly and attentive to our needs. The pool was nice, tasty breakfast, daily room cleaning, air conditioning worked well. The location on the island is good if you want to explore the northern part and middle. It was a good place to recharge after a safari or a long day around the island - sleep, swim in the pool or lay in the sun beds by the pool and have good breakfast. One of our rooms had a faulty door lock, the hotel reacted quickly by moving us to a new room, which was a free upgrade as well, so from day 1 we felt taken care of in the best way. Thank you!

Dinner was fine. Some amenities were not in top shape but it was ok. Once you leave the hotel gate you are on a rather rough looking street but no worries the beach is just through a little passage, like 1 minute. If you are new to the island the experience outside can put you off a little, as there are merchants there and Masai families camping on that narrow passage and once you are on the beach you'll be approached by someone straight away - to buy something or offered some service. But we never felt unsafe.

the Hotel is really tiny! (5 rooms total) Which is nice, personnel knows you, knows what you like and you know them as well. Short way to breakfast, to the pool or reception. Staff is extremely friendly, helpful and supporting. If you need something, there is always somebody to help.

Although the photos suggest, the Hotel is not directly on the beach but maybe 50 meters away (cross a tiny gravel road, pass by or through a neighboring Hotel). In our case we liked that a lot because the strong wind (coming from the sea) only hit the beach and first row of Hotels, while we were protected and could relax at the pool, watching the palm trees around waving in the storm.

Very clean and close to the beach!Staff is very friendly 😀

There is no refrigerator in the room

What can we say, it was above our expectations and we didnt expect more than just to have a great time. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by wonderful staff, Deogratius, Muddy and Mwana! Laura, you should be very proud of them! We were very lucky to have an entire resort to ourselves due to big group cancellation very last minute and we felt like the queen and king for the next 3 days! Please, do not hesitate to stay at Arya! You will not be disappointed at all. Location, beautiful staff, amazing breakfast which was just perfect for our honeymoon, we were very teary to leave this cosy paradise! Thank you from all our hearts for looking after us, for beautiful surprise and presents and flowers and for everything else ❤️❤️❤️ We will see you soon. Deimante and Khosru

Laura and the staff are extremely friendly, we’ve been pampered soo much during our stay. Cozy little resort full of flowers and plants, quiet place. We would like to thank Laura for taking care of us even tho she wasn’t there during our stay. The food is yummy, it’s freshly prepared every day. Clean villas with hot and cold water. 10/10

Nothing to do with the resort, there’s too many beach boys that are trying to sell you gods, it’s kinda annoying when you try to walk on the beach… Tho if you say no they’ll stop it which is nice.
