"Place had some age but it was still very charming and had a great view overlooking the water from our front sitting veranda. Breakfast left a little to be desired and are checking experience wasn't the best has it seemed like maybe the front staff was having a bad day. But the room was great overall and I had a nice pool and it was a very close walk to the beach and the restaurants there. We ate quite a few meals at Mapongo Italian restaurant halfway down the beach. The owners from Italy and...

"The property (houses on Easter Side) has big issue with the three-phase power input. Finally, we spent our night without electricity (two basic lamps were provided instead for the room and bathroom). The electric generator was not reliable - lights were blinking all the time. I didn`t want to charge my electric equipment when the generator was used (didn`t want risk damaging items). The breakfast was rather basic. The rest of the experience was OK. It was the only only one property we visited...

"Pros: Lovely staff, low key laid back (non-intrusive) beach club vibe, good restaurant, great views and good sheltered pool at back. No sight of the curio market and the massed sun beds on the beach in front but slightly to the left of the hotel. Cons: A rock hard mattress (which, when we checked out, they said they would have changed if we'd asked). Room is large but has the colour, charm and minimalist feel of a concrete bunker. No hot water came through the shower, which had to be...

"This was the most magical vacation and guesthouse that we have ever stayed at! The facilities are gorgeous and the staff is so sweet and accommodating (and always available) and we LOVED the big and beautiful pool. I think floating around in the water at night with the palm trees swaying above me was the most magical experience I have ever had. The hotel has wonderful gardens and is situated on a beautiful beach! Concerning the bad reviews- the guesthouse is located in a small town in East...

"The general conditions are good, rooms are nice and clean and airconditioners works well. Pool is Nice and clean. Food was good although no meat ( bacon and sausages) for breakfast in last 3 days of visit. Management does not adjust to needs - we were keen on Tusker Lite and although the resort is between Malindi and Watamu, they could never procure this. Chef’s cooking is good. We booked a family unit and it was only revealed to me that these units are under renovation in two days before we...

"Positivo il soggiorno stile africano, poco chiari riguardo al pagamento della cena. Meglio accordarsi prima o andare a fare la spesa con loro se si ha tempo. Una volta se ne è andata la luce ma dopo poco è ritornata, hanno attivato il gruppo elettrogeno probabilmente che faceva rumore dal mio appartamento. Dopo un' ora ha smesso."
