    What a place! Lovely accomodation, friendly and helpful staff, great experiences both paid and complementary. Try the Mangroves by kayak and a walk in the tide pools - both amazing.

    I’ve visited this amazing island twice, and I honestly can’t find anything negative about it. The staff is incredibly friendly, kind, and helpful, and the food is outstanding with so many delicious choices.

    Epic place to stay! Finished up a safari and this was an excellent place to stay on the coast! Food is good, the staff are extremely friendly. The activities provided by the hotel are excellent and during November were completely free including the diving! We would highly recommend a stay here!

    If you are in Kenya, Chale island is a must. Dreamy location. Fantastic service. Beautiful rooms. And always things to do. The only negative thing was the italian restaurant, which we did not enjoy because of the food. BUT would always visit Chale again.

    Best retreat after few days of safari! Great place (upgrade to private bungalow if you may). Food is very good and service attentive. Cocktails need a bit more consistency! Enjoy the scenery!
