Overall, the facility isn't bad. The pool is very nice, as is the well-equipped beach. There's a beach volleyball court... the location is also excellent. The food is okay... although there are some things that could be improved, especially with regards to the variety of food and the availability of fruit... the staff is very friendly. The only flaw is the organization of guest entertainment... entertainment is almost non-existent for a resort!

This was the most magical vacation and guesthouse that we have ever stayed at! The facilities are gorgeous and the staff is so sweet and accommodating (and always available) and we LOVED the big and beautiful pool. I think floating around in the water at night with the palm trees swaying above me was the most magical experience I have ever had. The hotel has wonderful gardens and is situated on a beautiful beach! Concerning the bad reviews- the guesthouse is located in a small town in East Africa and costs under $100 a night for an exotic beachfront guesthouse, I really don't understand why people expect the hotel to be a 5 star resort in California (you want that, you need to expect to pay for it). That means that power is going to go off every now and then (they ALWAYS got it to come back reasonably quickly!), the food is going to be African and take a little while because everything is fresh and often made to order and there may be a few bugs (though we never saw ANY! they were always cleaning and we found everything to be exceptionally clean) I have been a social worker in East Africa for 16 years, and I can say the food is going to be a transition for anyone arriving in the country- it isn't hygiene related, it is just going to be rough for some people who are coming into a new continent with different bacteria. Whenever we host teams, even for the teams that choose to ONLY eat at nice guesthouses and snacks that they brought, people will always get sick.

Power cuts lasted for a significant amount of time during our stay. Every evening when we returned there was no power. No power also meant no running water. We tried to resolve with management who promised it would be fixed soon every time. It wasn’t fixed. On check out we tried to get a refund for some of our stay due to the serious issues. The manager said he couldn’t do anything and the owner refused to speak to us.

Had to change rooms 3 times as there were issues with ants and a/c not working. Don't go for all inclusive as food isn't great (except breakfast) pizza place onsite good.

Not as advertised
Booked a deluxe apartment with seaview. However, as it turned out the apartment was not an apartment, but a room in a house with a shared livingroom. Seaview was no -existent from the room.

The staff were friendly and the pool was great. However we experienced issues at check in (not being placed in the room we booked), long power cuts and Wi-Fi issues

L'établissement se veut luxueux mais la base n'y est pas.
La sute etait tres sombre, sans terrasse, et les rideaux sont tellemznt fin quavec les lumieres allumées tout le monde vous voit dans votre lit...
Beaucoup de coupures d'eau et d'électricité. Pas d'eau chaude. La wifi n'est pas dans toutes les chambres.
L'hôtel ne dispose pas de restaurant.

Struttura pessima e truffa!!!
All'arrivo la prenotazione non c'era. Dopo aver contattato il servizio clienti, sono comparse le camere e ci è stato detto che era tutto a posto.
Purtroppo non è stato così. Nelle camere non ha funzionato per giorni l'aria condizionata (nonostante diversi solleciti per sistemarla), l'acqua calda non è mai pervenuta.
TUTTE le sere andava via la corrente e così non funzionava la pompa che tira acqua: non ci si lava . I ragazzi alla reception (senza uniforme, targhette di identificazione o altro) sono completamente spaesati e incapaci di dare una risposta concreta alle richieste di risolvere i problemi.
La colazione altro tasto dolente: scarsa e di qualità pessima, con la sala sporca, l'omelette cotta su un fornello che dire incrostato è poco, e con gli ingredienti da poter aggiungere piazzati su un piatto tutti insieme alla rinfusa.
La mancanza di organizzazione e di una gestione competente del luogo, evidentemente maltenuto, è lampante a questo punto.
Il peggio si raggiunge dopo 4 giorni: ci dicono che non hanno ricevuto il pagamento delle stanze perchè gli account dell'hotel sono stati creati da un manager che non lavora più per loro da 5 anni e quindi non riescono ad accedere a prenotazioni e pagamenti. In modo estremamente arrogante e strafottente ci viene richiesto di pagare nuovamente tutto, perchè loro non hanno colpe e non hanno intenzione di fare nulla.
Chiesto rimborso e fuggiti in un'altra struttura.
ALLA LARGA!!!!
