Facilities: The hotel is on the island, there is no mobile phone signal, there is Starlink coverage, and the overall network is very good. You can take a boat to the island during high tide through the mainland, and use a tractor at low tide🚜 (novel experience) Sanitation: Clean and tidy Environment: The quality of tourists on the island is very high, you can see many washed islands, the rooms are very large, and there are a variety of room types to choose from. Service: The activity list is posted every day, including sea catching, single/double kayaking, diving, late night diving (qualification certificate required), yoga, sulfur mud bath, sunset island tour, mangrove adventure, fishing village life experience. Very colorful

It is an independent island, you can go there by boat when the tide is high, and by tractor when the tide is low. The room environment and the environment on the island are pretty good. What needs to be said is that the hotel has a power outage from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, and the mobile phone signal on the island is very poor (almost none), and the hotel's wifi signal is not too good Well, for people who want to ditch their phones and computers and forget about work and everything else.

Absolutely a fantastic place, nothing to complain about. Here the atmosphere is so quiet. The staff are very friendly and service minded. High quality food. The beach and the surrounding nature are lovely. The marine center has a lot of different options for trips. You meet the 2 types of monkeys.

We have stayed here twice before following a safari, this time we had an 8 day safari followed by 5 nights here. We came with 4 friends and they too were blown away. As before we stayed in beach cottages, we had 28,29 and 30 and all had fabulous views and it was great to lie on sun loungers on your own terrace and enjoy the scenery. Things have again got even better since last year. All of the cottages have been refurbished. The sunset bar is still gorgeous but now serves complimentary canapés with drinks. The food at the main restaurant is even more varied with ever changing specials and its of a really good quality. They now have an evening BBQ by one of the pools and we found the food brilliant. We also enjoyed the sushi at lunch time at the sushi place and ice creams at Tamu Tamu. As ever, Andreas remains the most hands on manager I have ever met and it shows, the staff cannot be faulted, but are so friendly and the banter about football and our friends attempt to learn Swahili kept everyone entertained. Dave the food and beverage manager has got a really good team with him, the food could not be faulted. We also really enjoyed our guided kayak with Tom, the Marine Biologist and also attended his Turtle talk, another great addition. Finally, all of us had 2 treatments at the spa, this cannot be missed! I would not come here to stay just here as its too far from the UK and we are not really into beach only holidays, however 5 nights after a safari is brilliant and I would love to come back. Finally, I booked everything direct with the Hotel and Mike, who was my contact was fantastic and responded to everything so quickly.

We went here for our honeymoon and it was an amazing place to stay ! We did have the honeymoon suite and it was perfect ! The food was fantastic every day and lots of exploring on the island / resting and relaxing was done ! The sky at night is crystal clear ! We did have some issues communicating with the hotel in terms of making the booking but once there everyone was very helpful !

This is true paradise! We didn't miss anything, everything was perfect. The professional management, the friendly staff, always attentive when you need something, never stressed or fiddling with the cell phone like elsewhere... All meals, fresh and tasty, also vegan or vegetarian, great! Great weekly events with moonlight dinners on the beach and selected live music with a stunning buffet and grill. The rooms are very comfortable, of course with air condition and ceiling fan as well as a stylish bathroom and toilet. We slept wonderfully! We will be back!!
