Our stay here was so lovely that we didn't leave the property for three days after we checked in. The rooms and the hotel property are beautiful, the atmosphere was calm and relaxing, and the drinks and food were delicious. The bed was amazing, the showers were hot, and the pool was clean. We have absolutely no complaints.

I loved the location, the vibe, the food- especially the calamari. I loved friendliness of the staff, the pool. They organized entertainment, first night we had acrobats who actually involved the guests . The 2nd night we had a white themed party with cocktails and oldies music. Reaaaaallllyyyy fun!! Florence kept vibing with is and all the other guests to give us a personalized experience. There were many foreigners and as a Kenyan, I felt treated equally, which was refreshing. The staff are attentive, warm, professional and thorough.
