Ho fatto 6 giorni con la mia famiglia al Kuwa e mi sono trovato benissimo. La struttura è molto bella, un piccolo boutique hotel in cui tutti gli aspetti sono molto curati. La colazione è ricca e varia. Le camere spaziose e davvero pulite. Lo staff sempre presente. Ottima la convenzione per mangiare con ristorante a lato e quella per la spiaggia a due minuti a piedi. Raccomando specialmente se avete bambini!

Godt ophold

De var meget søde og det fungerede fint med at købe 20l vand for 10$ (specielt efter de købte en el pumpe) Rummet var hyggeligt- der kom en del sand fra taget når det blæste- men hyggeligt. I Afrika er der altid noget det er i uorden Løs vandhane osv. men badet fungerede godt Fint pool område og stor morgenmad God restaurant lige ved siden af-KKB
