They charge for everything and they sneaky with it.I had paid full online for three nights and when I arrived they asked for a extra 18$ and why wasn't I charged when I book the room? Also breakfast in bed is supposed to be free but the next morning the skinny woman asked for service fee they even charge you to warm up the food.And then when I called Sweden that I don't the girl not serve me again because she talks back and have a nasty attitude they still send her to me.Also theirs mosquitoes and lizards.U wouldn't recommend this hotel it's too expensive and it's too far from the city

Cet établissement est extrêmement bien placé mais les services laissent à désirer ! Personnel peux avenant et souriant ! Le gros plus est l’emplacement sur la plage. C’est établissement aurait besoin d’un bon rafraîchissement !
Fint hotell precis på stranden, perfekt för några dagars avkoppling.

Trevligt ställe att avsluta intensiva dagar i Östafrika. Stranden är fantastisk trots att det på sina ställen ligger en del skräp, mest plast, som ju tyvärr är vanligt numera. Personalen är trevlig och tillmötesgående men pratar inte speciellt bra engelska, så det kan ta tid att kommunicera.
Me gusto realmente todo del hotel me sentí muy cómodo y seguro un personal siempre preocupado y amable y lo que es el lugar donde está ubicado es pintoresco claro que hay que tener un poco de cuidado con algunos personajes no muy agradables del sector.
Me sentí muy cómodo todo el tiempo mi pieza bien estándar comida ok personal muy agradable su buena piscinas la higiene buena para mi fue un grato lugar para pasar a demás frente a una linda playa llega de vida recomendable
Supermysigt, litet hotell med fantastisk personal. Fina, ljusa, stora och fräscha rum, härlig pool med tillgång dygnet runt, bra mat och fantastiskt läge precis vid havet och stranden. Nancy i receptionen var hjälpsam i allt, Ocho som serverade var supertrevlig och vakterna var både roliga och trygghetsingivande. Alla i personalen var verkligen måna om att vistelsen skulle vara på topp, och det var den! Rekommenderas starkt!
