Staff were courteous and friendly. Breakfast was a little sparse but the location and outdoor facilities were great. I stayed in a room facing the ocean. Fantastic. Much better than a pool room. Should note that this hotel will not refund cancellations even though their policy says so. Beware.

Right on a gorgeous beach

Nice clean room. Beach side rooms are a bit small but as there is no reason to stay in the room with the beach a few steps away, it was no issue. Staff was friendly and efficient.

Great family bungalow in a good location

We had a lovely family bungalow for our 3 night stay and this hotel is in a good location. Donna the masseuse was excellent, and the staff were all very welcoming. The only downside was the restaurant had limited vegetarian options for our daughter and the lighting in the evening didn't make it feel cosy so we ate elsewhere. The Kuza cave is only around 20 minutes walk away and well worth a visit.

Our stay at Seaview was beautiful, the staff were amazing, the food was lovely, can’t understand why there are some bad reviews as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The scenery was stunning having breakfast and looking out to sea, the dinners were very reasonable, cheap and lovely, me and my girlfriend Enjoyed ourselves very much and I hope to return at some point, thanks again to all the staff that took care of us, (we loved the cats) the hotel was very authentic in it’s architecture and being situated in the village meant we got to explore the local lifestyle/shops and overall ambience. Perfect if you’re looking for a relaxed vibe, it felt personal, like the staff understood us and our preferences

This property was PARADISE! We had the best 4 days staying here, it was hard to leave. The staff were fantastic and accomodating to our needs. This is a smaller hotel so we enjoyed the peace of admiring the beach right on our doorstep. The food at the restaurant was very good quality, we visited other hotels along the beach but still felt our hotel provided just as good of a job. I noticed many people said the breakfast was boring, we bought massive avocados just along the road from the hotel and enjoyed this with our bteakfast. I really couldn’t fault our experience

The view from the bungalow is nice. The staff are incredibly friendly. The director is horrible, but the regular staff do what they can to make up for it. The food menu is not updated and the restaraunt is out of many items. The bar is not well stocked and when a item is empty it is not replenished because the director is horrible. I still don't know what he is paid to do other than hurt the hotel. I went to a hostel down the beach that was far superior in amenities, food, drink choices and over all feel. Then went to another hostel that was the same and half the price. I can get a single room at a hostel and have a FAR superior experience than at this hotel. Not worth the money with so many amazing places to stay nearby.

For the price quite nice but bit run down

Rooms: + Every evening somebody came to spray anti-insect spray in our room + Shower was warm 6/7 nights +mosquito nets on every window so you could leave them open - The rooms are very small (had numbers 8 and 9, 10 is probably the same- ocean view). - The bed had termites, which you could hear at night eating the wood. - There were stains on the bed sheet and the towels - Bed was very Hard, seemed quite old - Safe didnt open one time. We asked for help and somebody came with different keys but none fitted. After 10 Minutes it opened again but would not trust this safe (A thief could just carry it away) - no curtain in front of bathroom window and staff was hanging out there. Felt quite odd getting out of the shower at night when lights were on inside Restaurant: + Dinner and Lunch were very good + Breakfast: you could ask for specific types of eggs that were quite nice and on point + Drinks in general were quite nice - Breakfast rest was not the best... - Chapati was gone after 09:15 and the chef didn't make any after (even if breakfast was until 10:00) - The cook made chapati for every dish but requesting simply chapati and a banana (which is basic af) was “impossible” - For breakfast you get five options: Cereals, Toast, Chapati, little bit of fruit and egg. Things to put on the toast: fruit egg or jam

J'y étais pour 6 nuits: j'avais une chambre/bungalow avec vue sur la mer. La vue est superbe. À 2 pas de la mer. Très reposant lorsqu'on veut prendre des vacances relaxantes. Les employés sont chaleureux et serviables (Merci Hawa - préposée accueil). Mes points faibles: faible réseau Internet qui ne se rend pas aux chambres, le manque de variété au restaurant (ils peuvent facilement s'adapter à nos demandes).
