Our stay here was so lovely that we didn't leave the property for three days after we checked in. The rooms and the hotel property are beautiful, the atmosphere was calm and relaxing, and the drinks and food were delicious. The bed was amazing, the showers were hot, and the pool was clean. We have absolutely no complaints.

Our stay at the hotel was wonderful. The breakfast was tasty, but lack variety, if you stay longer time. Room was comfortable with big bed (in our case it was too hard), clean, nice interior, soft bedding and white towels every day. Guarded beautiful beach area with big sunbeds. A wonderful beach with small islands in the ocean that you can walk to at high tide.

We absolutely loved the place! It is a truly peaceful place where you can be completely free and enjoy your time. It is covered in the jungle garden giving a great connection to nature - monkeys are jumping around the trees, lizards running around, and butterflies landing on the flowers. Direct beach access, a nice refreshing pool under the canopy, plenty of secluded places to chill in hammocks and sunbeds. Very family-friendly. Fantastic hosts and good rooms with AC. It is a windsurfing beach and no beach boys are harassing you. We loved every minute of our stay and will try to visit again.

    Julie & her team were most attentive, welcoming and accomodating to our requests and questions and made our stay wonderful. It is definitely a kid friendly place where one can relax reading a book and kids can play, particularly during the warmest hours of the day. The breakfast is rich, the room spacious and it is only a 300/400 KES tuktuk ride away from the nearest beach. Great value for money and friendly atmosphere!
