Happy face iconLiked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Renovated rooms are a big improvement although it’s little things like dripping air conditioners, hard to open patio doors and duvets that are one size too small that detract from the effort. Front desk staff were excellent, as were the rest of staff generally. Although, on both evenings I saw restaurant supervisors and staff engage in bickering/ confrontation on the service floor - not a good look. Buffet is really ordinary in terms of range and quality of food and the house wine is poor, it tasted like it had been watered down. Outdoor pools and facilities are great.

Nice secure location, beautiful pool and amazing beach. Dated property - needs to be renovated. Displays a variety of cuisine, but could do better with its quality. After three days you will see the same items served again. Thanks to Ester, Defence, Sarah, Wambua and Saidi. They made our stay worth it!
