The hotel has a convenient beach access, and both dinner and breakfast were excellent. However, I was disappointed to be charged extra after booking my second night through Expedia. It seems they don't favor third-party bookings and charge more than the rates listed on such platforms. Despite this, it's still a good place to stay overall.

We stayed in a junior suite which was very nice. We were on the top floor, two flights up with the elevator on the other side of the property (and it did not work reliably); however, the stairs are not difficult to climb as there are not that many and they are not steep. The beach and Indian Ocean were beautiful but you cannot plan to frolic there because there is a strong undercurrent. The beach is nice but the winds can be strong. The pools are nice. Our stay was a relaxing way to end our visit to Kenya.

Excellent buffets

Location is excellent as right on the beach. As it’s a resort there’s a lot of kids and also lots of live entertainment which may be a distraction if you want some quiet. Rooms are a bit old and the amenities don’t always work. The water in the tap and shower is very salty and so feels rather uncomfortable. Even the sheets smell of salt! Excellent buffets if part of your package. Beware of the monkeys! They grab your food whilst dining!

The staff were great, breakfast was good, however the resort is in need of a massive make over. The rooms,furniture and facilities were very old and tired looking. The bathroom had salt water. The restaurant had limited choice and the food was ok but nothing special. I know this is east Africa, but the room rate is poor value for money. This stay was a second honey moon for my wife and I, the time together would of been better if we just stayed home.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Great location but the web site is not reflecting the current condition. The hotel and pool, gardens, accommodation all require total renovation and maintenance. The hotel suite was dated, poor condition, missing tiles in bathroom, mouldy and generally very tired. The cleaners worked hard and the staff were friendly but apparently the owners are interested in spending the money that is required to refurbish the hotel and ammenities. The pool bar is empty has no glasses, drinks or staff. The food is disappointing, cold, incorrect many times and quality overall below par. The menu was very limited and generally the food tasteless. Really wish we didn’t book the hotel and definitely not full board. We reported several times to the staff but apparently the Chef advised he didn’t care what the customers said he only reported to his boss. To make it worse the cleaner didn’t lock the patio doors on one occasion and the suite was invaded by monkeys that took everything from fruit, crisps, chocolate, drinks etc… defecated all over the suite, broke glasses and left monkey blood on the floor, bedding, bathroom, etc is was disgusting and took the cleaners 3hrs to clean…. All the affected clothes had to be specially cleaned and as a result I received an infection to my hands resulting in horrible blisters and now been treated by the Tropical Disease Center in London. Sadly there are much better hotels close by that we visited and wish we hadn’t paid upfront.
