    the hotel's position was particularly good and excellent, really close to sumptuously exotic gardens, selected areas and the beaches for the ocean. the breakfast was tasty with yogurts and juices, for example. the management was exceptionally nice, as well as the staff.

    This hotel is a hidden gem, nestled right by the beach in a safe part of Kenya. The rooms are clean and well-kept, with attention to detail evident in the wooden furniture and ample-sized balcony. The breakfast spread is a delight, with a wide variety of exotic fruits, Italian pastries, and made-to-order omelettes. The staff are friendly and always ready to assist, making you feel valued throughout your stay.

    All aspects of this hotel were satisfactory, nothing to be improved.

    We recently stayed at a clean and modern resort with great pool and restaurant facilities. the highlight for us was the beach access and peaceful seating area, perfect for relaxation. the breakfast was delicious, offering a variety of fresh fruits, juices, and made-to-order options like pancakes and fried eggs. Despite being located a bit outside the town center, tuktuks were always available for transportation.

    It was a great place for a getaway. Cons: Nothing at all!

    The location of the resort was absolutely stunning. We loved waking up to the sound of the ocean and being just steps away from the beach. The breakfast options were delicious and they were even able to accommodate our dietary preferences. The staff at the reception and in the restaurant were incredibly helpful and friendly, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. The pools were also a great bonus, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. Despite some minor inconveniences, overall I would highly recommend this hotel for a memorable stay in paradise.

    I recently had a weekend getaway at a resort near an amazing beach in Kenya. The gardens and pool were beautifully designed and well-maintained. The staff were also friendly and always ready to help with anything we needed. We enjoyed the variety of foods offered during breakfast and the large pool near the restaurant was a great spot to relax throughout the day. the room was clean and the air conditioning worked perfectly despite the hot weather.

    There were a few negative aspects to our stay. there was no wifi in the rooms, which was quite inconvenient.

    We had an amazing stay at this luxurious 4-star hotel. The location was absolutely stunning, with the hotel situated right next to one of the most beautiful beaches we have ever seen. The private beach area was a great spot to relax and soak up the sun, and we were able to walk along the shore for miles during low tide. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and accommodating, always going above and beyond to ensure that we had a comfortable stay. The service was top-notch, with amenities such as car hire, airport shuttle, and tours/ticket assistance available. We were also impressed with the variety of dining options, including a restaurant and a snack bar, offering delicious meals and special diet menus.

    We would highly recommend this hotel to families looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay.

The attention to detail was impressive, from the beautifully furnished rooms to the delicious breakfast spread. The location was perfect, with the restaurant right next to the beach, providing stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere.

    Unbeatable Beach Location: This hotel is nestled right on the stunning shores of Kenya's most beautiful beach. With its proximity to Mida Creek, it offers a truly picturesque and idyllic setting for a beach getaway.

    Room for Improvement: While overall everything was satisfactory, there is always room for improvement in any establishment.
