AMAZING place!

Our stay at the Jambiani villas was incredible. Our villa in front of the ocean was a dream, and it was hard to leave this paradise. The place was impeccable. The beds are super comfortable. The views were simply extraordinaire. The food was delicious, and the staff was so friendly. I wish we could have stayed longer, and I cannot wait to return. I cannot strongly recommend this magic place more .

Exceeded our expectations

Jambiani villas was the perfect place to relax. The villas themselves are beautiful and offer breathtaking views of the ocean (Choose the upper floor for an even more spectacular view 😉). The rooms were spotless, and the staff were wonderful and accommodating. If a laid back vibe is what you're after, then this place is for you!

The location on a very long and clean beach is very nice, food is quite good and staff very helpful. The TV (for films only )did not work and they came to replace it with another TV to view netflix. they do always have fresh water available, which is great on a sunny day. The room we had was very nice with view on the pool and the ocean. We will come back.

Beautiful beachfront hotel

This place is a true haven of peace! Upon checking in, we were upgraded to a beautiful 3 bedroom villa, and what a lovely surprise! The villa shared a pool with a second villa, but it felt as if it was ours. The villa offers plenty of space. Kitchen is fully equipped. Rooms are all spacious. Master bedroom on the upper floor had a balcony with an amazing view of the sea and pool! Couldn't get enough of it! The beach is right in front of the villa. During low tide, you can walk far and meet some of the local people collecting seaweed. At high tide, it's perfect for swimming. The hotel has 3 different grounds, we were in Bahani, about 5 minutes walk from the main hotel where you'll find the restaurant. We had dinner a few times, the catch of the day was always delicious and we were never disappointed. Breakfast is served there as well. Food was good but I would suggest serving brewed coffee or americano for free and maybe adding some jam. But the guacamole was delicious and the fresh fruits as well! Kudos to the team who was wonderful! Gillian, David, Frank, Ernest, Christina and the rest, you guys did an amazing job!

We stayed in the south villa and shared our pool with only one other villa and this was very nice. The breakfast was nice and had a good variety. The walk to the restaurant may be a challenge for some guests. We tried the food one other time and it was poor. The service was also lacking because the staff rarely came to our table or forgot to bring things we had asked for. The cleaning and reception staff were great. Overall a very pleasant place.
