We loved how beautiful the property looked from a design point of view. The attention to detail is exceptional: from the materials of robes in the room, to the shower gel/shampoo… we loved everything about this property and felt very comfortable!

This is, without a doubt, the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warm hospitality that instantly made me feel at home. The attention to detail throughout my stay was extraordinary, turning this trip into an unforgettable experience. A special mention to the welcome drinks personally offered by the management—a thoughtful gesture that set the tone for the exceptional service to come. I was assigned a dedicated butler, and I can’t praise him enough. He went above and beyond in every way, ensuring I was always comfortable and had everything I needed. Truly outstanding service! The room was absolute perfection—elegant, spacious, immaculately clean, and tastefully designed to blend luxury with local charm. Every element, from the linens to the lighting, felt curated for a flawless experience. The surroundings are some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen—nature at its most breathtaking. And when night fell, the African sky came alive. There’s something magical about it that made me feel deeply connected and completely at peace—like being home in the most unexpected way. Honestly, this hotel deserves 7 stars, not just 5. Every part of my stay was exceptional: - World-class service - Personalized attention - Luxurious and comfortable rooms - Stunning natural beauty I will definitely be coming back. This isn’t just a hotel—it’s an experience I’ll never forget.

A beautiful place that exceeded our expectations: the sea and its colors were stunning, and the monkeys and tropical flowers made the nature unforgettable. Elegantly furnished, the most precious thing was our privacy. The staff was very kind and elegant. We are very happy to have discovered it.
