We paid for all inclusive which was to cover local drinks & cool drinks. We could get a local beer during means, no wine... More

Staff friendly and helpful. January and Frebruary are the best months to visit kenya. Be informed that during these month, dry seasons, you do not really need to take... More

Italian mass tourism at its worse, you feel like you are in the outskirts of Rome. We were moved around by the owner and ended up in the staff quarters over the electric generator. the owners were so rude. What a shame! The location is stunning, the beach is wonderful. The staff are all locals who have been trained to... More

First of all: this is an Italian Hotel, and this, for sure, means two things: 1) Italian people always choose the best places with the highest quality / price ratio; 2) places like this one can be unconfortable for people that are not Italian language speakers. Having told this, this is a marvellous place where to stay, also for long... More
