    stunning property
    friendly staff
    dirty pool
    worn towels
    bathroom maintenance

    Stunning property with immaculate beach conditions and friendly staff who were always ready to assist. The food, especially the vegetarian options, was cooked to perfection. However, the swimming pool could use more attention to cleanliness, and the poolside beds and towels were noticeably worn and stained. The bathrooms also need improvements for a fully satisfying stay.

    local seafood
    outdoor pool
    soothing massages
    limited breakfast choices

    We had a fantastic time lounging by the beach and enjoying the delicious local seafood, which hit the spot. The outdoor swimming pool was perfect for relaxation, and we even booked soothing massages at the spa that left us feeling rejuvenated. The only downside was the limited breakfast choices, but it didn't ruin our overall experience. 😊

    A Memorable Family Getaway!

    We spent three delightful nights in a Superior Double Room. The kids loved the on-site restaurant, especially the fresh seafood. A special mention to the spacious room and friendly staff who made our stay enjoyable. For future guests, ask about local dining specials for an extra treat!

    Couples looking for a great experience

    We had a fantastic time enjoying dinner at the Indian restaurant it was pure magic, they made the food spicy just like I asked. The staff was so friendly and attentive, especially Joy at the reception who always had a warm welcome for us.

    It wasn’t ridiculously cheap but felt worth the money we spent.

    breathtaking architecture
    easy navigation
    limited dining

    The landscaping and architecture impressed me. the sprawling grounds really enhance the overall aesthetic. The wide walkways made it easy to get around, which I appreciated after a long day on the beach.

    The dining experience left a lot to be desired. Dining options lacked variety, with many dishes being bland vegetarian Indian fare instead of something more local, like Swahili cuisine. At breakfast, I had to wait outside for a table, which was frustrating. The location felt quite restrictive since swimming was only possible during specific tides, and getting over the coral was a hassle. There were some housekeeping issues too, like not closing the room properly, which gave me pause about security.

    beach access
    check-in delay
    poor service

    Great beach access and views.

    The check-in process was a nightmare. It took forever to get into our room due to a lock issue. Additionally, the air conditioning in our room was not functioning, and the front desk took too long to move us. I felt neglected by the staff, which really ruined the stay for us.

    culinary gems
    breathtaking scenery
    top-notch hospitality
    spotty wifi
    late checkout issues

    Man, the cold meat and local seafood were on point—total culinary gems! Also, the hospitality was top-notch and the scenery? Absolutely breathtaking. You’re gonna love chilling by the pristine pools!

    Now, about the wifi—total pain. Only worked one day, and even then, it was spotty. Plus, we asked for a late checkout and got shut down, even with loads of empty rooms around. Just a bit frustrating, ya know?

    The resort's infrastructure is impressive and visually appealing.

    Housekeeping repeatedly left the room door wide open, posing a security risk.

    attentive staff
    warm dining area

    exceptional stay , but minor humidity issue

    The sea view apartments offered breathtaking sights and had well-stocked bathrooms with quality toiletries. The dining selection, especially the dinner buffet, was impressive and catered to various preferences, which made meal times enjoyable.

    The dining area felt warm due to humidity.
