The hotel is located right on the beach, providing easy access to one of the most beautiful beaches in Kenya. Guests can enjoy the stunning view and relax on the beach just steps away from the hotel. Additionally, the hotel is close to Mida Creek, offering opportunities for exciting water activities.

The room was clean and well-sized, and the food was exceptionally good. The pool was stunning and provided a great place to relax.

The only other downside was the lack of accessible sockets in the room, which meant we had to unplug some appliances to charge our phones. the experience was just okay but not really worth it.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful hotel situated right on the beach. The location is absolutely stunning, with one of the most beautiful beaches in Kenya just a stone's throw away. I loved being able to step out of the hotel and have direct access to the beach. The hotel also offers convenient services such as car hire, airport shuttle, and tours/ticket assistance, making it easy to explore the surrounding area.

I would highly recommend this hotel to my family and friends. The location is unbeatable, with a beautiful beach right at your doorstep.
