Beautiful property with friendly and professional staff. Great breakfast, pool was well maintained and large. Some of the facilities were slightly outdated but at the price point, and the location, you can’t beat it.
Staff was so friendly and helpful both at the hotel and recommended areas to explore. Always willing to give us the history and answer questions about Kenya. Breakfast was good, grounds are safe and beautiful, and rooms were nice with a beautiful view. Only comment is bathrooms need some updating

Beautiful property with a lot of potential. Wonderful staff, but that's about it. The property is in terrible shape. It needs pest control, better bedding, bathrooms, food and entertainment

Good staff clean room. Could do better with fly screens on windows and newer showerheads.
Currently is a 3star hotel could easily improve with few little changes.
EVan was very helpful.
The property appears to be neglected and the staff are working within their limitations. We were on Generator as the hotel had no regular power source. No a/c and hot water available. I actually slept on balcony as it was cooler than room. Food was good spite all other issues.

The rooms are clean, ocean view is great but the outside of hotel is totally neglected with unkempt flowers, unattended glass lawns, bushy compound which can habour dangerous creatures like snakes and rats.
Every person I encountered was pleasant and friendly
Off the beaten track but a Tuk tuk away from everything. On the beach but not recommended for swimming. Huge pool. Best staff
Good buffet
If there’s low guests it’s ala carte which is even better!!

Old property. Rooms are decent, showers rusted, unsteady but work. Outside seating areas not adequately cleaned. Staff are polite and respond to issues. Food is average. No entertainment for guests
The staff is incredible! Laundry service done in hours, they sent us off with packaged breakfasts, they found us an excellent tour guide. The hotel itself is stunning. David, the bar tender is especially sweet.
The beach is not swimmable, but we learned a lot about coral reefs and the animals living in them from locals. The water in the bathrooms is salty, but the AC works well. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!

The inside of the room was clean but the surrounding areas was poorly maintained and dirty. Poorly secured at night and along the beach front.

Property is run down and not value for money. It is in a prime location but tries to operate on a tight budget.
It was like the hotel that time forgot, almost empty and falling apart. The AC didn’t work, power was on & off, mosquitoes everywhere on property, shower was terrible, no beach for swimming and the buffet didn’t compare to other facilities. We checked the following morning and want a refund!! I
The hotel is huge and the property is beatiful. The rooms need a bit of maintenance but everything was working properly and they are clean. The A/C is a blessing when it's hot outside. The food is pretty decent but what deserves more than 5 stars is the staff. They are super attentive and sweet. Evans at the front desk will do everything to take care of the guests, and the restaurant staff, including the manager, are a pleasure to deal with.
The place has a great location, gorgeous beach, and the hotels old bones has greatly enormous potential. However the place has been miss managed. Its idsal for very low budget holiday on the beach if thats all you want. More can be done.Poor state of all affairs there. Sad waste. Expedia should not host this location as its not as advertised.
The hotel is very run down, paint peeling, floors need varnishing, old and faded furnishing etc. The room had AC but it didn’t seem to be working properly. Overall very disappointing, would not recommend or book again.

We went a little unexpectedly for a "change of scenery" new year (as we already live on the Kenyan coast - but north coast). The experience is somewhat mixed. Overall, the hotel and rooms give a "little dated" impression. Staff assistance is also mixed, some friendly and helpful, some could not give a d$%^n. My advice to owners would be to get a well-trained and motivated manager to turn things around in a positive way.
Limited choices for meals, same dishes almost every nights. The property is in need of a major spruce up: peeling paint, dead branches on trees, limited parasols, shower drain needs a good de-clogging, water running into the toilet area. Intermittent internet in the room.
Das ganze Hotel wirkte vernachlässigt Die Klimaanlage funktionierte nicht richtig öfters Stromausfall.Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit! Es waren kaum oder keine Gäste im Haus ich teilweise alleine mit dem Personal.Der Betreiber sollte schleunigst renovieren.Die strandliegen fallen teilweise auseinander rostige Nägel schauen heraus überall bröckelt die Farbe ab.elektrische Anlagen stehen offen keine isolierten Leitungen……
