"Pros: Warm water pools (3 of them), sugar white powdery sandy (absolutely no sea-weed) beach with warm sea water better than the Maldives, Maasai shops next to the hotel and in the village within walking distance, large roofed restaurant with seating on white sandy floor, plenty of beach loungers, friendly restaurant staff Cons: Dated rooms, water leaking from shower to rest of the washroom which they could not repair after multiple attempts"
"Hotel is nice and clean and good staff. What isn't advertised is that the beach isn't swimmable. The nicest part of this hotel is the beautiful turquoise water, and it looks stunning while you're sitting in the sky pool. Unfortunately, it's heavily infested with sea urchins. We did the coral reef walking during low tide and saw hundreds! We understand obviously coral reefs are out of the hotel's control but we wish there was advertisment that this issue is there as the only way we could step...
"We had an amazing stay. The apartment is equipped with everything you need. The communication is fantastic and the location is really good. The staff Sadia and Simon are amazing and give exceptional service. We really enjoyed outer stay. It is extremely clean and the staff are really kind"
"Hotellet uppfyllde våra förväntningar. Väldigt lugnt och fint. 5 minuter till stranden. Sängarna!!! Har sällan upplevt så sköna sängar som på detta hotell. Rekommenderar hotellet å det varmaste"
