We were at the end of march until beginning of april 2013 in this very beautiful hotel. Actually is noisy climate during this time with lots of rain to be expected, but it was up to a morning 2-hour and evening half-hour rain nothing to see. We had great weather about 30 °c and pleasant water pool and sea. Our tip, absolutely with a safari combine, no matter wether tsavo east or west - to see there are enough. … read more

Great hotel for relaxing, as you everything from 3 hotels could use it. Had nothing to complain about. Food was very good and varied. Evening shows also very pleasant. Hotel definitely recommendable. Never so white and fine sand experienced, unfortunately the many boys very pushy, so you can the beach only conditionally enjoy. Outside not much going on. Shopping center only by taxi or bus (5-10 minutes) to reach. … read more
