"Great place to stay on the beach in Watamu, proximity to Malindi international airport was super given construction between Mombasa and Watamu! The private adults pool is amazing for those without kids that want a quiet pool. If you are across from the dining/entertainment area though it is loud with music at night until about 12:30 am - next time will request room on the opposite side. I had a wedding blessing that was absolutely incredible - Nancy the planner was the best!!!"

"Esitteen kuvat pitävät paikkansa, hieno alue. Siisti ja siivotaan päivittäin. Keittiö on myös erittäin hyvä, hieman suppea menu. Rauhallinen alue, saa nukkua rauhassa. Rannalle noin 5 minuutin matka mutta oma allas on riittävä. Alueena muutenkin rauhallinen, vain perjantaisin ranta bileet eli sopii parhaiten rentoutumiseen. Henkilökunta on ystävällistä lukuunottamatta respan Rachelia jonka kanssa ei onneksi tarvitse olla juurikaan tekemisissä, hänen vuokseen yksi tähti pois."
