Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I stayed here for three weeks and felt very well taken care of. The staff were always friendly and attentive and the location is just perfect – only a few meters from the beach. The rooms come with both AC and fans, which made the stay very comfortable. I also appreciated the reliable Wi-Fi, the generator during power cuts, the fast and affordable laundry service, and the fully equipped kitchen, which made it easy to feel at home. There are, however, a few small things to be aware of: there is no hairdryer, the windows are the typical open African style with mosquito screens, so you can hear quite a bit from outside. Since I stayed in the first house at the entrance, it was a bit noisy at times and without curtains it also felt like everyone could look inside. Another point is that drinking water had to be arranged by myself. Overall, though, it was a wonderful stay, and I can definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxed place close to the beach.
