Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms are functional with a balcony garden and sea view, but you may have to deal with annoying flying bugs. My room was in the furthest block from the hotel, just a few minutes walk away. It was spacious but looked a bit tired.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were beautifully laid out, and I especially loved the flowers on the bed after each make-up service. The staff was friendly and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The location was stunning with amazing views of the ocean, and the dining options, although limited, were very good.
My stay at the hotel was an absolute delight. The rooms were immaculate and well-appointed with gorgeous ocean views. The service was friendly and prompt. The location was central and offered a wide range of activities. The dining experience was varied and enjoyable. Overall, a highly recommended choice for a relaxing getaway.
I want to give a huge shoutout to Alfredo, Sophia, Hassan, Siku, Rosie, Waziri, Asia Cashier, Asia, and Kelvin – thank you for making our stay special. The room was immaculate and well apportioned with a large comfortable bed, fridge, electronic safe, a good bathroom, and a nicely furnished terrace which overlooked the gardens and sea. However, the room had a musty and damp smell, and the decor seemed dull with yellowish mosquito nets with holes and a dusty blanket that needed changing.
