Official Description (provided by the hotel):: This dramatic hotel with its fantastic pools and beautiful beach is the perfect spot to relax after a safari… or simply visit to relax! The warm and very African feel of the hotel with comfortable rooms, well appointed bathrooms and selection of restaurants offers guests plenty of places to lounge in the sun and almost as many shady spots to enjoy a bit of a breeze and a good book. All rooms have quiet, split unit air conditioners, televisions, mini fridges and coffee and tea making facilities. There is a safe (chargeable) in each room and a business center located in the main building with internet or wifi access (chargeable). The drama of the huge, traditional makuti (thatched) roof in the main restaurant offers the Chef a terrific showcase for a varied selection of local and international dishes on the buffet or you could indulge at one of the a la carte restaurants (chargeable) for a special occasion or just a quiet evening for two. ... more less

Very Nice Place to be.... Hotel was good and the personal working inside where very very nice. We would choose next time this Hotel again. What could be better in the future, is to seperate the Hotel Beach from the annoying beach Boys. Food was also quite good, the kitchen team were always willing to offer different styl of Food....

...If you stay on a half-board basis, but then you will be charged heavily for everything that is not included, for example a cup of tea at 4O'Clock will cost you 3 USD and you will pay $4.5 if you want a cooky with your tea. Since there are no eateries around you will in fact be on full board... More
