Mwezi has a lovely pool and excellent beach access and area right on the property. The cabins are clean, comfortable, and luxurious. Definitely treat yourself to a massage at a very reasonable price in a hut on the beach. Best massage ever, listening to the sound of the surf! We were lucky to be there on a night when they had a special buffet dinner with entertainment. A whole evening of excellent acrobatics and dance. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Red Colobus Monkeys were in the trees right outside our cabin! A great resort . My only criticism is the American music blaring in the dining room and reception area. Either let guests enjoy the natural sounds or have African music in the background.

Fantastic Laid Back Hotel

Check in was quick and easy with a welcoming drink. Cabin in the sand, facing the pool and ocean. Definitely a barefoot and sandals type of place. Very comfortable, clean, friendly staff, relaxed attitude. Plenty of loungers around the pool. Good beach for walking long distances, but not for swimming unless you have water shoes because of the coral. Ocean was too warm, much preferred the pool. Taxis were expensive to get from the airport to anywhere on the east coast or back to Old Town for a tour, but not much you can do about that. I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to relax.

Bon staff, mais peu de confort

Lieu agréable avec du potentiel mais pas exploité de manière optimale mais service fort sympathique (le staff est toujours très souriant et serviable). Concernant le confort, il est à revoir : lit très très dur (= nuits difficiles), chambre très sombre on ne voit presque rien si on n’allume pas toutes les lampes. Attention, il y a juste une porte en bois avec une moustiquaire qui sépare la chambre des wc (pas super pour l’intimité). De plus, si on vous propose des excursions qui ne sont pas des sorties officielles, renseignez-vous correctement sur le programme proposée et vérifier des avis sur internet. Nous avons eu une mauvaise expérience qui nous a été proposée par cet hôtel pour une sortie similaire au Blue safari et malheureusement nous avons regretté et avons dû tout de même payer le prix. Sinon pour le reste, c’était plutôt sympa.

Il resort era veramente bello....con una piscina fantastica...anche il ristorante non è stato da meno...per i 60 euro spesi a notte..non posso lamentarmi di niente... Certo che..se mi costava a prezzo pieno....avrei avuto fastidio a farmi sempre la doccia fredda....camera poco luminosa ma spaziosa...

Buen hotel, calidad de comida justa

Buena ubicación, habitación impoluta, pero el par de veces que cenamos allí nos pareció que la cena y el precio no estaban acordes con la calidad del hotel.

Kleine Mängel, grundsätzlich aber eine tolle Unter

Zuerst die Negativen Dinge: - Leider ist man durch einen kleinen Zaun etwas vom Meer getrennt, was bei anderen Anlagen besser gelöst ist - Leider waren wir zur gleichen Zeit da, wie die Besitzer, was dazu führte, dass wir als Gäste immer erst nach den italienischen Besitzen unser Essen bekamen...leider auch wenn wir schon deutlich eher bestellt hatten. Ansonsten ist das Personal unglaublich zuvorkommend und freundlich, immer ein Lächeln auf den Lippen und sehr hilfsbereit. Die Anlage ist sehr luftig und fügt sich hervorragend in die Natur ein, man kann den gesamten Urlaub ohne Schuhe durch den Sand schlürfen. Hier bekommt man sehr viel Ruhe und Erholung. Essen und Trinken hat europäische Preise und die Aufschläge bei der Kreditkartenabrechnung sowie den Ausflügen finde ich frech - kann man aber umgehen. Grundsätzlich war es ein sehr schöner Urlaub und die Anlage ist empfehlenswert.

Super, nice place.

dejligt sted om man vil slappe af og surfe. Dog så bestiller man morgenmad a la' cart og det er ikke altid tjeneren får alt med på bestillingen. Kunne være et støre menukort til morgenmad. Men man føler virkerlig at the owner gør alt for stedet. Fantastisk sted, føler man bor ude i naturen. De tænker på miljøet- kan virkelig anbefales.

Uzuri Villa einfach traumhaft

Wegen Renovierungsarbeiten kamen wir (3 Pers.) in das Partner Hotel Uzurí Villa, was genau neben das eigentliche gebuchte Hotel liegt. Insgesamt waren wir 9 Nächte dort. Strand ist dort sehr schön und man kann Kilometer daran langlaufen. Haben vorher das Hotel kontaktiert, um ein Shuttle vom Flughafen zum Hotel zu bekommen. Kosten 50$ pro Strecke. Jambanini ist recht ruhig, aber die Menschen dort sind alle sehr nett und gastfreundlich. Aufpassen sollte man aber bei den Standverkäufern, wenn man einmal was kauft, kommen die immer wieder und das dann mit mehreren Leuten. Es spricht sich halt rum. Wichtig ist es immer zu handeln und das stark ca. 50% weniger. Wenn die nicht darauf eingehen, einfach woanders kaufen, oft kommen die hinterher und gehen mit dem Preis runter. Noch ein Tipp: Einfach nicht fragen was das kostet, sondern sagen, was mann bereit ist für die Ware / Leistung zu zahlen. Bei Trinkgeld sollte man auch nicht geizen. Essensmöglichkeiten in der Hauptsaison ist um Jabanini gut möglich, wenn man gut zu Fuß ist. In der Nebensaison (April,Mai und November) schon schwieriger. Das Essen im Hotel war sehr gut, waren ab und zu auch woanders, was günstiger ist, aber geschmacklich nicht ganz so gut. Hotel sprach zudem kein Deutsch, aber gut English. Was manche stören dürfte: Mittagessen und Abendessen muss Bestellt (mit Uhrzeit) werden. In der Regensaison können Stromausfälle vorkommen. Frühstück sehr gut, aber bei mehr als 14 Tagen Aufenthalt evt. für manche zu eintönig.
