    Peaceful complex with great beachfront. Swimming pool needs lots of improvements.

    Check-inn was a hassle, room was not ready despite us being on time. The swimming pool is small and very shallow, they clean it in swimming hours so you cannot use it on schedule. Despite the cleaning, the water seems unclean.

    The entire complex is very pleasant, beautiful gardens, great beachfront area, good breakfast buffet... suites have nice terrace/balcony. Easily accessible from the main road. Spacious room

    I didn't have towels in my room & in the swimming pool despite numerous requests! Felt amused though with their excuse that the towels were washed in the morning and awaiting to dry in hot sunny Diani 12 hours after 😀. I couldn't operate the AC in my room but then who needs the AC when you are out all day?

    Location is great, with own beach and fully staffed bar. Last minute change of accommodation but we're happy to take me in last minute and in a busy season after one booked originally in the area fell through! Grateful I got a place. Staff were friendly and kind.

    The beach has corrals and only suitable for swimming when the water level is high

    Its beach front and has many trees. Houses are sparsely located and a lot of space to walk. Edith and carli were supportive Leonardos Italian restaurant is just across the road

    The pool does not cater for adults at all. Its shallow and very small this fits kids but not adults. I tried going for a swim once and the pool was very crowded and the treatment was super concentrated. I didn't spend more than five minutes in, I preferred the Ocean with its seaweed and all. The rooms could use some renovation here and there. The bathroom was constantly clogged after a shower and it made me feel bad that the cleaners had to deal with it on a daily. It just needs some improvements to be better. The rooms could use some bins, we were very limited with where to dispose out items. Also the kitchen was unusable, cutlery and pans were rusted and the space was just not ideal, the kitchen should really be looked into.

    The staff on the ground was quite friendly and ready to assist. The facility was kept clean and was very green making it scenic and ambient. I loved that the place is easily located and it's not far from the shopping areas. The place is super safe we practically were without our room key and the room stayed open even when we were out and about and nothing went missing the entire time. The food prepared is also top notch, the food must have been my highlight, try the chicken biriyani it was a 10 plus the chef was super nice the entire time and not the fake kind of nice, just a genuine nice with an everyday concern of how we were fairing on it was a great touch.

    The beach at the hotel isn’t great for swimming, but you can go down the road and swim at the beach there. There was a leak in the bathroom but the staff fixed it ASAP

    Great location over looking the beach. Room was very large and had a big balcony. Staff was very attentive

    During this period of time there was a lot of seaweed on the beach. Hence we had to go to another beach to swim in the ocean. However, this took less than 10 minutes and was not too big of a deal.

    It was well maintained and the staff was very helpful and friendly. wifi was good and we had hot showers. Also, the food was delicious and very affordable compared to other restaurants in the area. The landscaping is very nice as well. Great value for money!

    The sockets in the bedroom of our cottage didn't work, there was no hot water shower, the toilet was wobbly and there were ants in the room. There was also false information on booking.com as appliances listed were not available for example ; Microwave, coffee/tea maker, kettle and the freezer didn't have a door. The kitchen was very outdated including the utensils which were also not enough. The beach was full af seaweed.

    The swimming pool and proximity to the beach was great.

    The cottage we stayed in had some quirks, but those could be overlooked by the beachfront view and friendly staff.

    The staff was super friendly, helpful and very professional. The value was great compared to other properties in close proximity . Conveniently located near a supermarket, restaurants and ATM/ banks. We would definitely stay there again.
