Never a four-star hotel. Already quite shabby and not clean. Animals crawl around everywhere. (Worm in the bidet, thick black centipede on the walls, and so on) the location is unique, the food nothing special, but okay. Value for money is good definitely not. Would book a second time. …  read more

'if you are only two continents to visit can, visit Afrika twice!' This saying is actually already everything. The hotel is perfect for a relaxing comfortable holiday. Who except beach and sea a bit of Afrika see, it was up to the middle national park not far. The food is always of the best quality, varied and always freshly prepared. The kindness and warmth of the managerehepaares, and the complete staff are simple overwhelming. This was certainly not our last trip to Afrika. … read more

We have rearly seen such friendly and cordial staff. Everybody was very attentive and always in a good mood. No matter wether gardeners, security or waiters. Most of the staff can also speak a bit of german and were happy if you tried a few words of their language to learn. The cleaning of the rooms was carefully and thoroughly.A great hotel on a gorgeous beach. There is a very pleasant informal atmosphere and we felt incredibly comfortable. As the sands a relatively small hotel is, everything is wonderfully quiet and serene... No beach chair reservation, no lines at the … read more
