Lovely hotel, very relaxing
Stunning location, great variety of pools, bars and restaurants . The food was delicious with mid morning and mid afternoon snacks too. The only thing I would say is there isn’t a huge amount for teenagers who aren’t sporty (beach volleyball and waterpolo is available). Our son did the woodwork workshop although that was just watching a guy make a magnet (although appreciate you can’t give kids tools) and then sand and varnish the animal. Maybe something as simple as some balls in the fun pool for guests to use. Three and a half days was enough for us. We did a safari before hand so we were in need of some chill time. We took a taxi to Hells Kitchen which is definitely worth a visit.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We are thrilled you enjoyed our stunning location, delicious dining options, and the variety of pools and bars.

relaxing holiday with a warm welcome
good quality of the room very large despite being the basic type for the hotel, very friendly and warm staff with guests, security also given by the service of guards always present but not intrusive, good quality of food, restaurants, pool rooms and common places always neat and clean. Great experience, we were looking for relaxation interspersed with the safari of a couple of days and were satisfied

It feels so good!
Came with our 2 boys at the end of February and beginning of March. We were amazed by our rooms (Superior, double, room T8 and T14): very large, well arranged with a very nice terrace, beautiful bathroom with shower and whirlpool tub (little catch, our boys did not have hot water the first 3 days... adjustment problem?) Another small problem...their front door, sliding bay, did not lock from the outside. But we were quickly reassured because there is no problem of flight (we knew at the end of our stay that the staff is searched every night. We had planned small gifts for some staff members and we had to fill out a form to prove that they were gifts)
-The hotel garden is beautiful! Very well maintained, lush vegetation, flowers galore, a feast for the eyes! The whole hotel is very beautiful, the architecture of restaurants and bars is grandiose, , the pools are atypical in shape (no vulgar rectangles)
-Restaurants: first of all, I love the local costumes of the staff who welcome us! In Maasai uniform, we are in the middle of the African atmosphere. The dishes are quite repetitive but we have enough to eat anyway. Their fish are excellent! The pastries, very pretty by the way, are also very good. However, do not go to eat too late at the risk of not having much choice...
-The staff: lovely people!!! Except for a certain old man at the Jahazi bar in the evening who lacks friendliness, all are very kind people. Being at the club "O'Voyage", we shared many moments with Lennox who speaks very good French. Rarely kind, we shared many moments with him. We just regret that he could not show us around the city on a tour with the club as Lennox had just taken up his position at this hotel a few days before our arrival and did not yet know the area. We thank Naliaka for the hospitality for her efficiency. Moreover, we asked him for a taxi driver to accompany us into town and visit the surroundings. She found Maxwell, a great gentleman who took us to visit an orphanage (where we brought lots of school supplies), he then took us to 2 villages and then to the tourist market. He stayed with us all the time, taking care of our well-being, do not hesitate to contact him directly at +254.701.560.288, his rates are more than reasonable!
We also thank Daniel, the waiter of the beach bar, Gabriel of the safari office, Amos, the young waiter, this tall young man always smiling. Many thanks also to Selim, the beach keeper with whom we talked a lot. In faction near the steps all day, in full sun to ensure our tranquility (lots of "beach boys"...) At the end of our stay, we offered him our thermos to have fresh water all day because we do not know if the employees have the right to drink and eat at the hotel...In any case, their working conditions have nothing to do with ours and a little comfort does not hurt! Besides, a chair and umbrella for his position would be welcome! I'm sure Thimoty, the director, will hear our request. We had the opportunity to exchange with him for small worries initially, he is an accessible man who listens to his customers. Finally, we would like to congratulate Nicholus and Pina, 2 very friendly animators! They do their utmost to animate this hotel with aqua aerobics, beach volleyball, evening entertainment. They lack the means to create animations worthy of the name...
-A big bravo to all for the all-nighters on Saturday night! In garden party mode, the idea of placing tables in the garden is excellent. And the "Maasai invasion" in the middle of a meal is awesome! These African dancers literally spellbound us! We just regret that it was so short...just half an hour. It would have to last all evening! African evening to the end: employees in local dress with African music, holidaymakers would enjoy mingling with this happy tribe!
After the positive of this hotel, some negative points to address and correct:
-the deckchairs!!! It's a horror...you have to get up early to book a deckchair, whether at the beach or the pool. There are far too few! I find it unacceptable to be in a 5-star hotel and have to put your towel on the floor. Not to mention the number of defective, broken, out-of-use deckchairs...we must reinvest at all costs!!!
-the towels: idem, there are too few and too late! If you arrive around 9-10am, it is a while before an employee finds you a towel.
-the cleanliness of the beach: lots-lots of seaweed!!! I do want this to be the public beach, but it is used by hotel guests. A rake in the morning would be appreciable and would limit the back and forth of algae according to the tides.
Small final note: the "beach boys", many but not mean. They are not part of the hotel but they are omnipresent on the beach and discourage many holidaymakers from enjoying the sea to the fullest. They're living off the shackles. They offer their services against a "tips" to guide you in the water at low tide and warn you of dangers (corals, stinging sea urchins...), they sell small objects (incidentally, when you go down on the beach, on the left, at the very end of the hotel wall, are tin huts where you will find multitudes of gift ideas with price to negotiate. Go see "Mama Consolata" and her friends, adorable people who will be delighted to be able to sell some trinkets to support their families!
We travel regularly but this is the first time we felt like we were leaving a family behind...and that's thanks to the people so endearing! THANK YOU to all of you!!!

Not friendly and full of mosquitoes
It's terrible they don't allow walk ins for dinner and the lady at the reception is very rude as she is informing you of the same, she didn't allow me to speak to the supervisor. Wouldn't recommend. Also so many mosquitoes if you decide to spend a night here.
