Hotel atypique style africain safari, on était un couple avec un nourrisson, on a eu la chambre 178 c'était difficile de se déplacer de la chambre vers la piscine / restaurant du soir car trajet trop long. Si non personnel aimable, il faut surtout pas sortir vers la plage car les locaux te saute dessus pour espérer de vendre un truc.. si non globalement cest un bon hotel qui represente l'Afrique.

Veldig bra Resort med alt en trenger for å koble av fra hverdagen. Veldig serviceminded personale, god standard på rom, kort avstand til strand, stort og fint basseng. Hotellet tilbyr i tillegg ulike turer, daglige aktiviteter etc. Anbefales på det sterkeste!

Wunderschöne, gepflegte Anlage, wird jeden Tag gut gereinigt. Zimmer und Badezimmer sehr geräumig und immer gut gesäubert. Betten werden liebevoll dekoriert. Das Essen ist sehr schmackhaft und abwechslungsreich. Einzig das Personal beim Abendessen hat einige Defizite in der Handhabung der Getränkerechnung. Man muss diese genau kontrollieren, bevor man unterschreibt, da häufig einiges durcheinander geht. Sonst ist das Personal sehr freundlich . Der Strand, die Liegen und die Hotelanlage ist wunderschön, ich kann das Hotel uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen. Man muss beim Personal ein Auge zudrücken, schließlich ist man in Afrika!

Absolutely incredible! Fantastic beyond believe . It was so good I booked an additional 3 nights . I could not fault a single aspect of the resort . I was a lone traveler , and every single member of staff including the managers and manager of the resort made me feel like a member of the family . They were all so warm friendly and welcoming, and I will genuinely miss chatting to them . The location is superb and the beach and ocean views incredible. The food was fantastic and I would like to extend a massive thank you to every single member of staff! Nothing was too much trouble for this wonder people . Matthew
