The staff here is amazing. The rooms are always immaculately clean everyday. When I go back in my room it smells amazing and looks amazing. Location is great if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. It’s literally on a private island so no stores or anything is close by (about a 30/40 minute drive) and it’s extremely hard to get an uber because they uber drivers don’t want to go all the way to Chale. But the resort does have transportation for an extra fee so no worries. Overall an amazing experience, amazing people, amazing amenities. The drinks are so fresh. I’d visit again!

Beautiful setting with excellent staff. Minor issues were ran out of tonic, shouldn’t really happen in a quality place. Also most of the civilised world doesn’t allow smoking in standard bar/food settings so don’t think they should

Beautiful island and wildlife. The bandas are pretty and comfortable. Nice pools. Food was mediocre at best. There was a lack of variety and the quality wasn’t that good.. Staff was okay but some services were lacking e.g no kettle in the rooms, no phone to call room service, and no slippers. I had higher expectations considering the beauty of the island and how much potential it had.

Veldig flott resort-hotell på en egen øy. De har shuttle buss eller båt ( etter tidevannet) fra fastlandet. Vi bodde i de enkleste rommene, og de var fine. Alt var rent, ordentlig og de ansatte var veldig serviceinnstilte. De hadde mange aktiviteter man kunne være med på, noen inkludert og andre var ekstra. Maten var god, og det var flere restauranter og barer på øya. Fint å bade der

Eines der schönsten Hotels an der Küste. Gepflegte besondere Anlage. Man ist sehr sicher, dass sich eine Insel handelt. Man kann hier gut entspannen, nett essen und baden. Tolle Terrasse zum Sonnenuntergang. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

10/10 Exceptional

Einfach ein wunderschönes Hotel, auf einer kleinen Insel unweit des Festlands (5 min Bootfahrt bei Flut/ Traktorfahrt bei Ebbe), das bei vielen Deutschen beliebt ist! Es ist neu renoviert und uns hat das moderne aber gleichzeitig traditionelle sehr sehr gut gefallen! Wir hatten eine kleine Hütte (Bandas) mit herrlichem Blick zur Lagune! Das Sunset Deck war auch nagelneu und es gab einfach nichts schöneres als abends bei Sonnenuntergang dort einen Drink zu genießen! Es gab kaum Moskitos und jeden Abend ein Roomservice, der das Moskitonetz über dem Bett ausgeklappt hat. Das Personal war unfassbar freundlich!! Die Aktivitäten sind vielfältig und bequem an der Rezeption oder per App buchbar. Hierbei war va die Kajak Tour oder eine Inselumrundung bei Ebbe erwähnenswert! Wlan war wirklich ganz gut (am besten an der Rezeption, wir hatten es aber auf der gesamten Anlage empfangen können). Das Essen ist sehr gut und europäisch angehaucht. Viel Fisch und Fleisch aber auch Obst (va das Frühstück war sehr gesund). Tipp: Barbecue am Pool buchen, da es ein besonderes Highlight war.

Heaven On Earth

This trip might have ruined the Kenyan coast for me because I don't know how I'll find anything even remotely close to being as wonderful! The rooms are luxuriously comfortable and the three pools are each lush and pure bliss. The management was personal and friendly and even though I was traveling alone I did not feel lonely as they went out of their way to greet me and remember me by name. Worth every penny: I will be back.

If you are looking for a beautiful place to visit at the coast and also feel relaxed this is your place. The staff are very friendly, efficient and ready to help and make sure you have a great visit. This is a small Island so there is not much to do, but if you are looking for a place to disconnect for a few days it's perfect. They do over a few activities within the Island and you can also arrange for trips outside the island. The is Amazing food . Fresh fish everyday . They use a generator to power the place so you don't have power during the day. Its turned off about 10am-5pm. Wifi available if needed. Beautiful place. We had a great time. Thank you

Great place. We were pleasantly surprised by the food— great taste and variety. The beach is great during high tide, and there are plenty of swimming pools to keep you busy during low tide.

The property is magical.Great experience.Unfortunately a 2hr return to Mombasa city turned into 6hr traffic jam.I would advise you to leave way before your outgoing flight as you would possibly miss it.The BIG problem is the ferry to cross over.Normally there are 5 ferries crossing but today there were only 2..... Besides this ,everything else was perfect.

A true tropical paradise

This island is truly a magical place, with its dense vegetation, stunning ever changing beach, the local animal population from monkeys to colorful coral fish. We stayed in a bungalow, and if possible I would recommend it as you get the best out of you stay on this little charming island. The staff was friendly and professional, the food was delicious and with daily catch of the day. We are looking forward to returning to this special place as soon as possible
