"Un'esperienza unica, ci siamo lasciati coccolare dallo staff e dalla comodità della struttura."

10.0

Organizzazione, pulizia e ottima cucina. Ma il punto di forza sono la riservatezza e l'ampiezza degli spazi che consentono una gradevole conoscenza degli altri ospiti senza però essere obbligati nel farlo.

Per me è stato tutto perfetto, se proprio volessimo parlare di qualcosa che manca, forse una palestra e un bel campo da tennis

"Paradise!"

10.0

Everything was magical and completely faultless. The location is right on the beach front, villas are spacious with stunning views of the beautifully manicured gardens and of the sand and sea. The staff are just incredible - John in particular is wonderful. Everyone is joyful and friendly and could not do more to help. Food is absolutely delicious. The entertainment (Maasai, local bands, etc.) just adds to an already perfect place. Massage blissful. Day trips organised with ease. Absolutely faultless, it was a wrench to leave - we will be back. Thank you for everything.

"Nice boutique hotel"

8.0

Very nice boutique hotel. Clean, spacious villas, beautiful surroundings, very beautiful beach area, nice beach bar, not a lot of people. Very nice, friendly and helpful personnel, special thanks to John who went out of his way to entertain us. Not very wide choice of foods at breakfast, but you can still find something to eat. Nice meals at lunch at dinner. Area was really quiet.

A lot of mosquitos that make you stressed. The road to the hotel is really bumpy. The sea is not very swimmable in front of the hotel. But the biggest frustration is sellers at the beach who are extremely annoying. Don't even think of strolling alongside the beach, taking in beautiful views, they will be coming from all sides. No chance for quiet walks. This was very disappointing. They even constantly disturbed our kids. And if you are lying on the sunbed, one of them will be standing right in front of you and waiting when you'll brong your foot outside of the hotel zone. Another thing that was really disappointing - there is no coffee machine at the breakfast. There's only instant coffee which tastes awful. It's strange that the hotel cannot proveide decent coffee for breakfast. We had to go to thw beqch bar to get more or less decent coffee, but to get proper cappuccino we went to another hotel.
