Hospitable staff and excellent service. The property is not new but still in good shape. We saw monkeys hoping in the big coconut trees from our balcony (seaview). Everything is clean including swimming pool, nice fresh air. We hopped on tuktuk (three wheel motorbikes) to the town (about 2km away) for forex and shopping. We detested the salty shower at first but got used it eventually (just don't drink it).

We liked the group activities like water polo. There was variety of food during dinner. Most of the staff were friendly and the lady at reception ensured we got the honeymoon compliment. They also upgraded our room from standard to deluxe at no extra cost.

Liked: Staff & service
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.

I don't know how you make your VIP rating because for me the service was only just above average. I spoke with reception about the lack of any hot, even warm water, and finally on the last day got lukewarm water. Meals improved markedly once it went to buffet style. I was also charged 3000 KSH more than the price on there price list for a snorkeling trip and then when inquiring about a jetski ride found them to be 3000 KSH more expensive than the one I found just down the beach. Overall I don't think it was very good value for money.
