I loved everything about the resort the staff was nice and catered to all of our needs the only thing i didn't understand was we paid for full board which means food and drinks were suppose to be included only to find out that you had to pay for drinks and if you had your own you have to pay a fee for drinking it. I think that should have been specified when booking

The aesthetic of the property is on point. I didn't like that I paid full board but it wasn't clearly explained that I would still have to pay for water. I can understand alcohol, but water... Also their gym is lacking with only one treadmill, one bike, one elliptical. The pools were great and the food was amazing. The beach was beautiful BUT as soon as you walk on the beach, there are people trying to sell you something. It made it where I didn't want to walk on the beach alone and just enjoy.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The property is self was very nice, but when you got into the room I expected more. In my room the lamps did not work. the mattress was horrible for that type of resort. I expected better. The worst problem was the drains would back up via the bath tub and caused a horrible smell in the room. It happened almost daily. I did complain, but I don't know if anyone ever came. When the water finally would go down, I would flush the tub with hot soap and water to kill the smell. At 200 plus American green backs, it was not worth the price. I want be going back unless they refund me some of my money. They should also be ashamed for what they pay the workers there too. I was told they got paid about 400 KSH per day.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
What I loved: 1. Friendly staff, especially the lady making cocktails at the pool bar, and the chefs in the kitchen were very good and welcoming to customers. 2. The food was amazing, did not manage to try the other restaurants as my stay was short, but the buffet did not disappoint during breakfast and dinner. 3. The SPA Services are amazing and the staff is professional, the pool is limited to SPA clients was a plus. What I disliked: 1. The beach wasn't clean with a lot of sea weeds that are lying on the shore. 2. There are a lot of flies around when food is served, am sure a hotel of such standard can do something to resolve this as I did not like competing with flies for my food. 3. The water pressure in the room was not adequate, not sure why, but spoke to some friends who were also guests at the same time and their room had the same issue.

Worth visiting!
The hotel is really beautiful and very well maintained. The room was very clean and comfortable. However the bed mattress was too soft and the service in the restaurant a bit too slow. The spa is really nice too, excellent massage.
