Hela familjen är väldigt nöjd med vistelsen på Demani. Avslappnat ställe med trevlig personal. Jättefin innergård som erbjöd skugga och sol. Ibland hade vi önskat ac på rummen och drömmen hade varit om det låg vid vattnet, men utöver det så är det ett mycket bra och prisvärt ställe!

Die schönsten Ferien

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt. Das gesamte Hotel-Team ist uns ans Herz gewachsen. Das Essen war sehr gut. Die Bungalows und das ganze Areal sehr sauber gehalten. Man kommt dort ohne Klima-Anlage und Fernseher in den Zimmern aus (alles ist ökologisch und natürlich). Das Restaurant ist im freien, einfach überdacht, der Pool ist perfekt. Die Party am Donnerstag geht jeweils bis gegen Morgen. Sonst ist es immer angenehm ruhig. Zum Strand geht man in 10 Minuten zu Fuss, weitere 10 Minuten dem Strand entlang bis man mitten im Strandleben von Paje ist. Paje ist ein Kitesurf Paradies.

It was a pleasure to stay at the Demani Lodge. The Team was quite nice. All friendly and with a Smile. Lodges are very nice, Clean ,quiet. Amazing Garden area. Good Location to calm down, live the easy local life. The Pool area was nice to relaxing , hammocks, daybeds. On thursdays there ist bbq and party night where you can Join. It is located in the middle between Paje and Jambiani. You can walk at the beach in both directions when it is low Tide. Otherwise you can Stop a tuktuk or a Taxi to Drive to both villages. There have also their own Driver how can Pick you Up from Airport or arrange Tours, mostly privat and you also can Mix your Tours. He will Always find a way. Restaurant is also great. You should know in advance that life Here is slowly, so don't complain If the food preperation Takes His time. But its fresh and Everything we ordered was very tasty.Thanks a lot to everyone of Demani Team. If we ever Comeback we will stay Here again.
