Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a quiet environment for relaxing, with clean and spacious rooms that come with good facilities. However, the rooms are overdue for an update, the WiFi is unreliable, and the dinner buffet choices are limited.
The hotel rooms, attended to diligently by the housekeeping staff, were truly amazing, although some listed amenities were missing. The basic rooms were unfortunately accompanied by stray cats beggaring outside tables, exacerbated by guests feeding them.
I had such a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were really beautiful, spacious, well-lit, and impeccably clean. I especially enjoyed the amazing view of the beach, especially during sunrise. The tidiness and excellent food added to the overall charm of the place. The location was convenient, not far from the Malindi road, and offered a quiet environment for ultimate relaxation.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms. The staff was very hospitable and dedicated to ensuring a memorable experience. The location was nice, right by the beach, but there was a minor issue with cockroach infestation. The dining experience offered quality food but had room for improvement. Overall, it was a good choice for the price paid.
