We visited the hotel for refreshments a number of times. Jeff was an exceptional host and we enjoyed the venue every time. You get the feeling you are unrestricted when at the African Pearl. Think I will stay here next time. :)

We stayed here over New Year's because it was the only place on the entire coast we found with a vacancy. But really, if you don't want to pay the exorbitant (peak season) rates charged by the beachside resorts, this is an OK option. We had a car so we were not bothered by the location - we could go...

This hotel is on quite a busy road, but the gardens and swimming pool / chill area mean you would barely notice. Look, this is a locally-run hotel kind of in between a backpacker hostel and a basic chain-style hotel - i.e. there are things which work, other things which work less (some areas could do with a bit of...

Jeff and his staff were super friendly and helpful and it's a nice setting with a bar, restaurant and pool area but it's at the far end of town and no access to the beach. Most of the people there were business travelers while we were there and we found the breakfast was good. The hotel was recommended by Rough... More

The shower and faucet deceptively left the impression that there was running water, however, during this three day stay in August 2011 there was none. The kitchen is quite good and also serves good staff food for a low price. The location is good and the rooms located in the main block upstairs have nice balconies.

We were 4 days and the place is good, but the service... I will remember the receptionist for time. The breakfast was good, but we wait for the dinner at least one hour, so the others days we took a tuk-tuk and went to town. Beautiful pool too. I think that the hotel has potencial, just a better service will... More
