Authentic Swahili experience.
What's there to say about a hotel started in 1972? If you're looking for modern amenities, you won't find it here. If you're looking for a time capsule of Swahili culture, you will find it here. Rooms have AC, a 3 pools were excellent, ocean view was excellent as well. Breakfast was authentically Swahili with really good mahamris.

Great hotel. Beautiful views of the beach, a nice pool, excellent food and drinks, and helpful staff. I needed to shower after checking out and going diving, and they accommodated my need while also watching my bags. Great service!

I am a repeat customer that stayed here for weeks at the time. It is not too bad. The rooms need a lot. The entire place need a renovation. The landscape is poorly maintained. The water in the pool smells like birds feathers. The food is good. Compared to similar places is even better. The all inclusive is a joke. While bottled beer and some bottle sodas are included, bottled water is not. I just don't get it! Maybe I am not too smart! At the restaurant they charge you for the free bottle water they put in the rooms unless they serve it by the glass (and the glasses do not look too clean, I doubt that the hotel has a commercial steam dishwasher). The good news is that you can buy good bottled water (Keringet) from the gift shop. The bottled water they put in rooms (Aquelle) does not taste good. The people are nice yet they are properly trained how to explain all inclusive customers why bottled water is not included but bottled sodas are!

I paid in full upon arrival. However upon checking out they demanded a furyher 2000 KES because the dollar / KES rate had changed. I'm sure if it had moved the other way, they would offer me a small refund. I refused to pay but did when it became apparent that the cashier would have the diffetence deducted from his salary. The garden and pool are is fabulous, as are the staff. The rooms are tired though and not really worth the money. The AC is ineffective. I would not stay here again though purely because of the odious practice I've described above.

The property is nice, with good reseaurants so you don't need to go out for dinner or food if you don't want to. But there is a mall complex less than a mile away if you do want to get some goods for breakfast. That said, they can only be non-perishables, and be careful of eating on your room's porch, because the monkeys can smell food from far away and will come to get some! but the towels are thick and smell quite bad once they get wet,

Dated and not well kept
Not worth the rate, the hotel was built in 1972 and it looks like it hasn’t been well kept. The cleanliness of the room was also not up to par. We felt like we didn’t get the value of what we paid and many services were beyond lacking. The pictures were misleading as well and we had to argue to get one bed as a couple. It rained on our parade.

Generally okay hotel for the price. Dislike that they do not give bottled water in the rooms and instead have metalic refillable bottles that do not look in good condition. Found a guest at the reception upset and complaining that their phone had been stolen from his room. Good access to the beach with beautiful views of the ocean. Facility has aged and the rooms needs abit of an upgrade to modernize them.
