“Lovely relaxing holiday”

The hotel is around an hour and a half from the airport (Mombasa ) and there is a ferry crossing on the way. The hotel has happy friendly staff. Our room was pretty basic for a 5 star resort but was spotlessly clean and had a fantastic view of the sea. The food provided by the hotel is excellent and... More

“A Bit Of A Let Down!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 March 2013

Nice location, pleasant rooms and pleasant staff. The let down part was the food which offered not a lot of choice. On top of this the entertainment was arranged right in the middle of the evening meal which meant you could either eat or watch the show as some nights the entertainment was away from the eating area. The price... More

I can't understand why there are so many bad rewievs of this hotel. The hotel is build on a coral reef- it looks really amazing. The surrounding of the hotel is beautiful- it has the most beautiful garden from all the hotels I've ever visited. Hotel has its own sunbeds on the beach and there're guards, so beachboys can't come... More
