My boyfriend and I were staying at a not-so-nice B&B down the beach from Imani. Where we were staying wasn't very comfortable so we didn't want to spend time there. We met the owner of Imani, Simon, on the beach on our first day. He was so welcoming. He offered for us to use his beach lounge chairs & hammocks... more
