    We stayed 2 weeks and loved it. The staff are super friendly, always made us feel welcome. Our villa was a mere two steps to the beach. Our villa comes with an outside jacuzzi which we didn't try. There is a little village next door worth visiting. A school a few roads down, we bought pens, books and lollipops for the children. The rooms are cleaned everyday and sprayed in the late afternoon. Bedding and towels changed on a daily basis. Free coffee and tea every day. We did not opt for the all in and should have. They put a show on every evening after dinner which was pleasant surprise.

    Plenty to do kite surfing, jet skiing, banana boat etc. Loads of restaurants on the beach. The hotel is good value for money, quiet and relaxing it has a huge swimming pool. The hotel is clean and bright. Beds are large and comfortable.

    None, had a fabulous holiday and will definitely return.

    I loved the property and its nice breakfast.

    The weather was wonderful, had really unforgettable stay for 7 nights. The food was outstanding with a wide range of alternatives. The location was incredible - short walk to Kiwenga Beach Resort, other restaurants in the area and the beach of the Indian Ocean. There was an a la carte restaurant nearby.

    great service but lacking nighttime activities

    The staff excelled in customer care. Victor's attention to detail and Said's cute approach.

    The evening entertainment options were minimal.

    quiet family pool
    food variety

    The beach access and outdoor swimming pool made for perfect relaxation spots after a long day of exploring. The only thing I would tweak is the food variety. While it was decent, a few more exciting options would elevate the experience 🌊

    very good service

    Highly Recommend for Couples Seeking Relaxation

    The service was very good, every time we walked anywhere, staff would greet us warmly like we were family. One night we dined at the seafood restaurant and the manager went out of his way to create a special dish just for us it was a moment that felt personal and nice.

    It wasn't exactly inexpensive but honestly worth every penny.
