About
Skip this one. Repeated reports of broken AC, no water, dirty rooms, old beds, and rude management toward both guests and staff. Breakfast costs extra despite premium pricing, and the Lost restaurant on the beach (externally owned) is the only good thing here. The location and outdated facilities don't justify over KES 10,000 per night.
