Authentic Swahili experience.
Posted 3 Mar 2024 on HotelsWhat's there to say about a hotel started in 1972? If you're looking for modern amenities, you won't find it here. If you're looking for a time capsule of Swahili culture, you will find it here. Rooms have AC, a 3 pools were excellent, ocean view was excellent as well. Breakfast was authentically Swahili with really good mahamris.

Good Option
Posted 11 Jan 2024 on HotelsGreat hotel. Beautiful views of the beach, a nice pool, excellent food and drinks, and helpful staff. I needed to shower after checking out and going diving, and they accommodated my need while also watching my bags. Great service!

This is a great hotel on the beach. Lots of security so always felt safe. So nice to o have all inclusive so no messing about where to eat. Many choices and all included.

Posted 13 Nov 2023 on HotelsPhoto of the property needs to be updated because everything is old. Also the room’s toilet has bad odor coming from the sink. Break fast lack variety and cleanliness . Terrible experience!!!

I am a repeat customer that stayed here for weeks at the time. It is not too bad. The rooms need a lot. The entire place need a renovation. The landscape is poorly maintained. The water in the pool smells like birds feathers. The food is good. Compared to similar places is even better. The all inclusive is a joke. While bottled beer and some bottle sodas are included, bottled water is not. I just don't get it! Maybe I am not too smart! At the restaurant they charge you for the free bottle water they put in the rooms unless they serve it by the glass (and the glasses do not look too clean, I doubt that the hotel has a commercial steam dishwasher). The good news is that you can buy good bottled water (Keringet) from the gift shop. The bottled water they put in rooms (Aquelle) does not taste good. The people are nice yet they are properly trained how to explain all inclusive customers why bottled water is not included but bottled sodas are!

Run down and too many non residents who pay a small entrance fee to use the facilities while residents who pay much more have no privacy....take care there are thieves working in this hotel also seperately reported by other on line reviewers.
