We have just returned from a week here. We took our 9 year old with us. He is pretty good with just a pool/ocean to swim in so if your children need a kids club maybe think twice as the hotel next door Sandies was shut so no kids club at all this time of year. Firstly in was low... More

We have just returned home from the first of our two planned trips to this amazing hotel this year, and as always we have had a perfect holiday. From the moment you step into the reception at the hotel to the moment you leave, you can be sure of first class treatment from each and every member of staff who... More

This resort was absolutely amazing. The staff was the friendliest we have ever encountered, and went out of there way to make our stay very very special. They organised for us to have dinner on the beach and we saw all the preparation happen. From guys climbing the palm trees for the palm leaf gazebo to raking the beach before... More

what a let down this place is. considering its membership of the small leading hotels of the world or some such title, the cuisine is at best at par with budget hotels on the Kenyan coast. breakfast is basic, quality and selection of cereals and other items well below standard. fruit selection not up to the mark. desserts are tiny...

Considering that it is part of the Small Luxury hotels of the world, the hotel is a huge disappointment overall. Personally my basic benchmark for a small luxury hotel is things like homemade jam, freshly squeezed juice, a good afternoon tea time, a world class spa, customised cuisine using local ingredients which are available in plenty- like coconut, pumpkins etc...

We were in many places in the world, but this was the best of the best holidays, a real `Dream of Africa`.The food was excellent, the pool and the beach too! The personnel was very nice, warm, kind like Timothy, Vincent, Raphael, Josephat, Hosea, Richard, Stanley, Moses, Constance, Kambi... all of them. We will remember them always and we will... More
