un piccolo angolo di paradiso

hotel composto da villette immerso nel verde. Posizionato un po' fuori dal centro di Watamu, ma raggiungibile in 5 minuti di tuk tuk (ape car) e in 10 minuti a piedi si arriva a spiaggia. camera molto grande, con letto a baldacchino e zanzariera; grande terrazzone. Ci sono diversi insetti, ma è completamente immerso nel verde e nelle palme per cui è inevitabile! E comunque ogni sera la ragazza delle pulizie passava a dare il prodotto in camera per le zanzare, e non abbiamo mai avuto problemi a dormire. Bellissima piscina, molto pulita. Ottima la colazione, e ottimo cibo a pranzo e cena, con scelta di pesce e carne tutti i giorni. Atmosfera molto tranquilla, anche perché posizionato fuori dal centro città. Appena fuori dal resort ci si ritrova immersi in un villaggio africano, e si respira così il vero spirito africano. Consigliato per chi vuole stare in relax e ha bisogno di riposo!!!

Mysigt och extremt trevlig personal

Jag och min flickvän tillbringade tre nätter här. Underbar hotellmiljö i tropisk trädgård. 5-6 minuter gång genom byn till närmaste strand och 10 min med tuk tuk till andra privata stränder. God mat och bra service. Det var lite gäster på hotellet så man fick god kontakt med personalen. Känns familjärt och trevligt. Enkla å rena rum, djup bol för dom som inte gillar havet. En del säger att det är dyrare i malindi än tex mombasa men vi uppfattade den som helt tvärt om. rekomenderar dock om ni ska hit på semestern att bo några nätter i bamburi ca 2 timmar söder ut. Kostar ungefär 8000 shilling med taxi.

no manager

had a good stay but would have liked the manager to be around. Did not see a manager for our complete stay and we had to check out with the askari a day early as the manager did not work on Sunday.

Herrliche Oase!

Etwas abgelegen, nicht am Strand dafür eine herrliche Oase! Sehr freundliches Personal, Essen wenig Auswahl, dafür gut und frisch zubereitet, sehr schöne Gartenanlage und wunderbare Veranda vor Villa! :-)
