    Very narrow stairs to the room (we have got the upper one), the bathroom is almost open (the doors do not really close, they are open in the bottom), the shower was leaking.

    Friendly owners, nice places to stay around the pool and in common area, books and games availble, very cozy, kitchen and tea and coffe available.

    This is not the very expensive beach front resort, but only a quarter mile walk to the beach. Its a 10 minute walk but still a great location.

    Staff/owners; Andras and Beja are so friendly and helpful, always offering anything and everything. They made it feel like family.

    nothing!!! It was truly perfect

    The hosts were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The location was perfect and it was very easy to walk everywhere. The bed was very comfortable! The beach was right across the street which was so perfect. There were beach chairs and towels we could use and we felt like we were hacking the system by getting all of the perks without the resort prices!! 10/10 would absolutely recommend staying here!

    Andras and Beya created a magical space with everything you might need. They go above and beyond to ensure guests enjoy their stay. The hotel is close to the beach yet is a quiet oasis to relax. Loved the kitchenette, comfortable bed, towel art, shared kitchen with BBQ, tranquil pool, and all the extras like beach chairs and snorkeling gear. We are already planning to stay there when we return. Thank you Andras and Beya!

    The location was great, away from the big high rise hotels but an easy walk or car ride to beach and restaurants. The wonderful owners of this property go above and beyond to make sure you have a wonderful stay. I can't imagine staying anywhere else! And this place is immaculate!!!

    Everything! We love a private hotel where you feel like home. Hosts are such a wonderful people, always there to call for anything you need. Location is perfect, right on the other side of Marriott, and Palm Beach is 5-7mins walk. Our room was spacious, pool always clean and fresh towels for beach waiting every morning.

    Traveling with a toddler is always challenging and not having a working microwave was a little inconvenient. However, we managed pretty well using the range.

    The property is very well maintained and is impeccably clean. The hosts were beyond accommodating, drove us to get a few groceries at a nearby supermarket, offered a ton of great advice and made sure we were taken care of. Our clothes were laundered and they even helped with printing some documents. The hotel is small and very quiet. The courtyard is gorgeous and a great place to relax. The rooibos tea in the mornings was sublime. Our toddler loved splashing in the pool and playing with the cats on the property.

    This Boutique Hotel is exactly as described. It is within easy walking distance to Palm beach and owners provide beach chairs and towels and are happy to loan you a cooler bag with ice bricks. Although our unit had a kitchenette - having access to a communal kitchen with an oven was a bonus. I would recommend a car as although Palm beach is close (and there is a lot of activity, restaurants etc) Eagle Beach was a firm favorite with our crew. It felt less crowded and the beach had fine sand perfect for building sandcastles. Don't miss a sunset snorkeling cruise on the Black Pearl (Blue Melody) or a trip with ABC tours to the natural pool and Indian caves.

    Beautiful Boutique Hotel close to the action but far away enough to relax

    The bed was made up beautiful but was really stiff. I'm used to memory foam and a more middle of the road bed, not to hard not to soft. I also wish the shower was larger as a thick girl I felt like if I made the wrong move it would be curtains for me. For the record I was in the twin size room. Definitely Queen room next time.

    I love that the hotel was a 10 minute walk from great eateries, the beach and other hotel chains that had casinos and for my starbucks finatics that too. Another 10 minutes takes you to shopping and more restaurant options. If you want the ability to really relax and be in a smaller spot, this is the place. The owners were incredibly nice and accommodating. Would 10 out of 10 stay again. They definitely take pride in their property, are hands on in ensuring your happiness and are just really kind.

    Having to go back to the winter too soon.

    This place is an absolute gem! Andras and Beja are the kindest, warmest, most wonderful hosts. The location is excellent, 5 min walk to one of the best beaches I've ever been to (and I've been to some great beaches!). There's also a decently sized swimming pool with a laid back and relaxing ambiance at Karibu. There is fantastic snorkeling all along the coastline and karibu snorkel gear was perfect for swimming with the fish! Our room felt like home with a fully equipped kitchenette, very comfy bed, and a smart AC (there was also a large flat screen TV but we don't watch TV when there's so much to do outside). The wifi was top notch and carried me through daily conference calls. Reentry to the US was a breeze with quick and easy COVID testing within walking distance of Karibu. Results ready in 2h for AG, or 12h for PCR. The whole place was sparkly clean and just a dream!
