Perfect Getaway
Deluxe Apartment Sea Facing- 10/10. Clean. Great size. Quiet. Excellent view. First floor, so avoided noisy neighbours above us. Decent, but small safe. A/C worked well. Bathroom - 10/10. Clean. Lovely shower. Bed - 10/10. Very large. Very comfy. Mozzy nets and turn down service at night. WiFi - 10/10. Very good, considering where we were. Worked fine down by the pool and even worked by the beach! Pool - 10/10. Good size. Nice and clean laid out pool area, with plenty of loungers and shade. Beach/pool towels provided. Gym - 8/10. Small, with a ‘multi-gym’ and dumbbells. No CV equipment, but room for a workout and some aerobic exercises. Did its job. Spa - N/a. Didn’t use. Staff - 10/10. From check-in to check-out, all the staff were friendly, attentive and most helpful. Special thanks to Abdul and Fatima in the restaurant. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast/Dinner - 9/10. Stayed half-board and enjoyed it all. Breakfast was standard buffet, with an ok choice, that changed daily. Dinner was a set 3 course meal and on one occasion for Swahili Night, it was a buffet. All of these we felt were very good. Never went hungry! Hotel - 10/10. Could not fault anything with this hotel. The hotel grounds are magnificent and very well maintained. The peace and tranquility was a complete joy. It is right on a beautiful beach and the sea is lovely. The appearance/decor/furniture is everything you’d want. We’d definitely recommend this tropical paradise.

Fint ophold med plads til forbedring
Hotellet er placeret ved en dejlig strand. Bungalow er lækker og meget rummelige. Rengøring var meget sent, det var lidt utilfredsstillende. Service for det meste fin og venlig. Men en utrolig sløv bartender. Bestilte drinks før maden, men de kom først, da vi var færdig med forretten. Hygiejnen kunne også godt være bedre, fx er håndskrift et must ved en buffet!
