    Very clean and quiet place that is ideal for a get away. The staff are very friendly. It’s not so active during this time so you might want to call ahead if you are going in for lunch or dinner.

    I stayed here from 23rd-27th Dec 2018. The resort is very beautiful but the services offered are below its standard. The breakfast buffet was so fake....no variety at all, same breakfast through out the stay. The fruits were hardly fresh, no mango juice yet mangoes are in plenty in at the coast. There is no form of entertainment after dinner and no relevant Christmas decorations to create a festive mood. And there is a alot of bias in terms of skin colour....whites are given better service and more attention. The staff looked overworked and underpaid. In conclusion: My stay here was boring and I wouldn't go back there again.

    If you are looking for a luxurious yet affordable getaway this is just the place! Located away from Malindi, easily accessible by road this is a good place. Amazing staff very helpful, the have international cuisines however it's best if you try some Italian cuisine I loved it! It's right at the beach front, the rooms are spacious. I loved the place. The venue is also idea for events by the beach such as weddings or parties.

    Stay in a villa, with self catering option. Villas are spacious but simple in terms of furnishing and looks. Nice pool. Close to the beach. Adjacent hotel which belongs to same owner hasa fantastic Italian restaurant. Although using their pool comes at a cost of 500KES if not resident in the hotel, even if resident in a villa. Fairly quiet beach front. Hardly any hawkers, on weekends lots of locals.
