The service was splendid, the receptionist was so gentle and understanding. Their restaurant service is top tier. I won't mind staying there again on my second trip.

My stay at Samawa Living was absolutely phenomenal! From the moment I arrived, I felt an incredible sense of warmth and care from the staff. As a solo traveller, I was made to feel so safe and seen, which made the experience even more special. It truly felt like a home away from home.
I’d like to give a special thanks to Kadogo, Hashimu, Baby, Asha, and the rest of the amazing team who went above and beyond to make my stay unforgettable. Their genuine kindness and attentive service stood out in every interaction.
The location of the hotel was perfect – close to the iconic Paje Beach, with convenient access via buggy, so I could enjoy the beauty of the area while still retreating to the calm and peaceful atmosphere of the hotel. The boho vibes of Samawa Living were stunning, with every detail thoughtfully designed to create a cosy and serene environment.
From the delicious meals to the immaculate rooms and tranquil ambience, everything about Samawa Living exceeded my expectations. I can’t wait to return! If you’re looking for a safe, stylish, and welcoming place to stay in the Paje area, I highly recommend it.

It's a nice beach hotel, having a good restaurant and the staff is very friendly. To be recommended except regarding their laundry service because they are not offering to clean separate individual items of clothing as is usually offered in most hotels. A fully loaded washing machine would be charged even if you only need to wash a single item.

This resort is amazing with its meals, pool by the beach, overwater bar and multiple international cuisine. However, it is far and remote so best only by car. I enjoyed my stay though with the blackouts.

First of all, the advantages here are designer hotels, design with great care, rich characteristics, everywhere can make blockbusters.
There are also many shortcomings. First of all, the location is remote and the price is not cheap. Except for the hotel itself having two kayaks, there is no sea exercise. The beach is not good, because there are fishing villages nearby, so it is dirty and there are many rocks.
The food was exquisite and too delicate, leading to a little bit of food not enough.
Unexpectedly, the fishing village next to it can buy the seafood that local fishermen catch every day. The price is incredible. I bring my own hot pot base to help the hotel process, which is absolutely satisfying for the stomach of the food.
The hotel is built on topography, up and down are not very friendly to families with children, suitable for couples to travel

The new hotel is invested by Indians. It has a very good environment and the service industry is quite enthusiastic. The package includes three meals a day. I stayed here for two days. The quality of the food was quite good and not too repetitive. The front desk of the hotel can arrange to go to the peninsula beach opposite to watch the sunset, but the beach opposite requires a fee of 10,000 shillings per person. There are usually activities, performances, etc. on the beach. The hotel has a casual style, quiet and clean.
Their general manager, Mr. Saipan, is very enthusiastic, and their waiter, Maxmillion, provides excellent service and recommends tasting their Stone City rose wine.
In addition, I would like to take the opportunity to recommend a good local driver, Mohammed Ali, who is originally from Oman. He is a nice person. He found the beach where we can go chasing dolphins, watching starfish, snorkeling, etc. It only costs 30 dollars to charter a boat, three in front and one in front. During the hour, the captain also gave me fruit as a gift. I felt that the service was very good and I consciously tipped. It was a great experience. There is this driver's business card in the picture, you can find him.

LLEEBeautiful sunset, good bar & meals, Amazing facility (literally everywhere is more than great) and nice hospitality. I should have booked here at least 3 nights. If you want to stay near famous beaches, then tourist attractions are not in walking distance, but you dont even need to go, staying in this resort is perfect enough. GOOD VIBE!!

MMishideyu197013Pros: The hotel is in a good location, the sunset is beautiful, the plants are beautiful, like a big garden. The soaj is very comfortable, facing the sea. Cons: The room facilities are a bit old, the service is average, the mini bar and sunset wine in the room are charged items, the signs are not clear, we thought they were free items, and the cost of calling a taxi for the guests is very high. Overall evaluation: The hotel is average, not worth the price of more than 3,000, and the cost performance is not high.
