"Wonderful small hotel. We stayed at the Bungalows and the rooms, while basic, were lovely. The fan made up for the lack of air on and the bed was best most comfortable I’ve ever slept on while on holiday. The views were fabulous as we were right on the beach. What really made it so good though were the staff. Wilhelmina, Simba and Evelyn were truly amazing. They are lovely people, hard working and caring for our every need. I can definitely recommend this place if you want a wonderful holiday"

"Absolutely amazing experiences. The beaches in the area are not amazing (although are very nice at high tide), but that said the hotel itself is enough of a destination to make it perfect for an extended stay. The staff is amazing and very attentive. The hotels amenities itself are far beyond the 3 star standard listed, especially given the local standards. Really stands out against all the local experiences. "
