Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and well-designed with beautiful African touches, but we encountered a problem with rodents in our room, which was not ideal. The service was fantastic, with friendly and helpful staff, particularly thanks to the receptionist who went above and beyond. The location was nice, but there were issues with noise from a neighboring property. The dining options were limited and the menu could use more variety. However, the facilities were generally satisfactory.
Staying at this hotel was a mix of pleasant surprises and a few letdowns. The rooms, while a bit far from the pool and the beach, are cozy bungalows with convenient amenities like nightlights, cooling options, and a superbly comfy bed that made me wish I had the same at home. The extensive garden surrounding the rooms created a Southeast Asian-inspired ambiance.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were beautifully decorated with great African touches, spacious, and even had an outdoor shower. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff. The location was absolutely stunning, like something out of a postcard, and the cocktails were truly amazing. However, the dining experience could use a bit more variety in the menu. Overall, a wonderful experience with incredible art pieces and furniture.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and attention to detail was evident in the decoration, but the price increase was not justified considering I didn't feel it was worth the extra $175. The terrace with a hammock was a nice touch, making me wish I had one at home.
