The staff was very responsive to any concerns we presented regarding our stay and made corrections immediately. The food service was excellent and so was the quality. The property is set in an authentic swahili design with plenty of space per guest in all settings, providing an air of privacy.

This hotel is stunningly beautiful and no pictures could do it justice - from the large rooms to the public spaces, to the beach and spa. They've thought of everything. The food was delicious with lots of different options. The staff were gracious, very friendly and helpful. We never wanted to leave the beach and the beach bar, but all the other options were amazing too. I look forward to going back.

I can honestly say this is one of the most beautiful places I've ever stayed in, the photos don't do it justice. On top of that, everything has been thought through, the staff are very friendly and helpful, the food was great and so was the beach. At thebtop of my list to return to.

A place that had seen better days, eg., cracked porcelain in toilet bowl; inexperienced service. Next month the place will be helmed by a new manager, who will undoubtedly improve everything.

The a/c in room 40 was not working and the toilet bowl needs to be cleaned out well with some bleach. there are some stains in there. We complained and our room was changed and upgraded because of the inconvenience and that was amazing! All in all, it is a lovely place to stay. Food is amazing too
