Very friendly staff everywhere ,I could mention a few (alibaba ,Suleiman, the waiters animation front desk they are all a good team).the Villas are perfectly designed and decorated .they compound is kept clean all through. What I wasn’t really pleased was the variety of foods, I missed local foods on the daily basis ! The drinks on all inclusive were terrible especially the juices .

This is, at best a 3* hotel. Breakfast was the same everyday and the food options were of poor standard. The rooms are outdated but clean. The beach is nice but difficult to swim because of rocks and urchins. The seafood restaurant by the beach serves great food but it is expensive. There were better options (food quality, ambience and value) at other restaurants a few minutes walk along the beach towards rock restaurant. Another option is a $35 round trip by taxi to Paje beach where there are some nice bars and restaurants and the atmosphere is lively. Overall, Karafuu beach is not good value for money and I would not grade it as a 5* hotel.

Karafuu - Stedet for ren afslapning!

Hvis man er til ren afslapning og gerne bare vil koble af fra alting, aå er Karafuu stedet! Hoteller er godt placeret ved en meget lækker strand som er det smukkeste jeg har set! Personalet er meget imødekommende, og smilende! Morgenmaden er ikke noget som lige er til 5 stjerner, men ellers er alt andet godt! Vi planlægger allerede at komme der derned til december måned med vores venner!

Not a bad option

Hotel is nice some of the staff are great. Breakfast is very poor for a 5* hotel Dinner is ok Italian restaurant is good Rooms are nice Sea there is really good just you have to enter through a long bridge because beginning of sea is low tide and muddy but once inside its great Area is rural and isolated there some nice bars and restaursnts not far from there.

Upper management problems

Staff is bending over backwards to help people and are so nice. Bugs in condiments at restaurant. Leaks in rooms. Constantly overbooked and shuffling people to other hotels even though they booked. Buffet runs out of food nightly before people have eaten. WiFi only in lobby. They refill their ketchup bottles with watered down tomato paste. Lovely property and staff, just needs better management and maintenance. Constantly having problems everyday. The management doesn’t seem to care because they are too busy. Offered free meal after finding multiple bugs in condiments and then charged for it. Not sure if communication problems or they are too busy to keep track. Staff is great at trying to keep up but obviously overwhelmed.

À éviter ...

Les tarifs pratiqués sont exorbitants pour extrêmement peu de services. Il y a plein d'hôtels sympas aux alentours, à privilégier donc si comme nous vous aviez choisi cette étape pour découvrir the Rock ! A éviter également le SPA : prix horriblement chers et qualité des soins médiocre.

sehr schönes Hotel zum Erholen

Außer an der Rezeption war das Personal super nett und freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Managment ist top! Die Ausstattung in den Zimmern ist gut. Man ist in Afrika, das darf man nicht vergessen. Die Lage ist sehr gut wenn man viel Erholung sucht. Es gibt wenig shops und Restaurants in der Nähe. Wir haben allinclusiv dazu gebucht. Das Essen im Hotel ist sehr gut und abwechslungsreich. Das Fitnesscenter ist gut ausgestatten, allerdings auch etwas wartungsbedürftig. Ob man nun 50 USD pro Woche für Wlan nehmen muss ist fraglich...Wir konnten das Gottseidank etwas reduzieren. Aber sonst alles wirklich top!
