Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
There is a lot to say about this wonderful property and experience, but first things first. The STAFF is genuinely delightful. Upendo, Ireen, everyone at the breakfast service or Dixon in reception, to name a few, relentless in being helpful and kind. Everything is top notch and there is this absolutely original tour that we loved, where you visit all the inner parts of how the resort is organized from within. You have the chance to physically visit the dedicated offices for finance, procurement, logistics, laundry, staff's canteen, dynamics of the different restaurants, etc. etc. The FOOD it delicious from the variety at breakfast to the grilled fish/seafood or to the Italian pastas. The FACILITIES are unique with a practically private beach, loungers, pools, gym, sports grounds. The ACTIVITIES that make us feel that we are in sporting holidays liaising with other guests playing sports if you fancy movement at times, beside the relaxing sunny beach. Could probably elaborate more and more but in summary, it's a 10 out of 10 Holiday time!

Liked: beautiful grounds, nice private beach and lots of activities to do with kids. We also had a villa with private pool which was perfect and great sized room for 4 of us (2 teenagers). Didn’t like: main pool felt a little like ‘a Butlins camp’ (no offense but obviously expect more for 5 star). Fully inclusive food and drink really mediocre. Staff were hit and miss with some lovely members whilst others looked miserable. Also would have loved a peaceful walk on the beautiful beach but you are bombarded by Maasai as soon as you take one step on there which is such a shame (not hotels fault of course!) Overall a lovely hotel but it’s not quite a 5 star for me but depends what you are looking for. Plenty of people looked like they were having wonderful time :)

Lovely staff couldn’t do enough for you, good food could do with some more protein for vegetarians, could do with some more staff in the restaurants. The tribes on the beach are annoying security need to warn them away more.

For the most part, my experience was great. The only absolute disappointment was the gym. Very small, unsuitable for resort of this size. All inclusive option was also not so glamorous as all the restaurants were open only at certain times. For our entire stay, only one place was open for breakfast and two to three for dinner. But selection was good, although same or very similar every day.
