Trevligt ställe att avsluta intensiva dagar i Östafrika. Stranden är fantastisk trots att det på sina ställen ligger en del skräp, mest plast, som ju tyvärr är vanligt numera. Personalen är trevlig och tillmötesgående men pratar inte speciellt bra engelska, så det kan ta tid att kommunicera.

Fantastiskt hotell, rekommenderas starkt!

Supermysigt, litet hotell med fantastisk personal. Fina, ljusa, stora och fräscha rum, härlig pool med tillgång dygnet runt, bra mat och fantastiskt läge precis vid havet och stranden. Nancy i receptionen var hjälpsam i allt, Ocho som serverade var supertrevlig och vakterna var både roliga och trygghetsingivande. Alla i personalen var verkligen måna om att vistelsen skulle vara på topp, och det var den! Rekommenderas starkt!
