Featuring a terrace, the 3-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The accommodation provides evening entertainment and room service. This boutique hide-away made us deconnect from the outside world. Beachfront, comfy bungalows, the whitest and softest sand, a soothing ocean breeze, and tasty food in the restaurant with ocean view. Ernesto (the hotel manager) and the rest of the team were super friendly and made our stay extra enjoyable. A plus was the free walking tour to the reef with a Masai which was organised by the hotel.

A hot tub and a car rental service are available for guests. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. I loved the beach and the surroundings lots of trees so atleast that brought a lot of fresh air and wasn’t very humid. Loved the good food only wish they had more traditional Swahili food like ugali otherwise it was good.
