Ótima opção para relaxar no paraíso

Estadia no Ujamaa foi ótima. Perfeito para relaxar, praia além de linda como nas fotos é muito tranquila e ótima para crianças. Atendimento muito prestativo e educado. Se você busca um lugar calmo pra relaxar, super recomendo. A única sugestão de melhoria seria quanto aos pratos do oferecidos no restaurante, não estão no nível do resto da experiência.
