I recently stayed in this resort and found it to be excellent value for money. It is situated at the end of Diani beach and has a good view along the whole length of it. It has some coral reefs at this end so swimming is best at high tide. There is also an undertow so not for the inexperienced... More

I got a massage on site which was very good, relaxing and professional... More

Massive efforts put in to dress the restaurants each night. A wonderful relaxing environment - couldnt have asked for more. We even got a free room upgrade on return... More

if your idea of a good holiday is relaxing by the pool and walking along a truly magnificent beach the this hotel will take some beating. We stayed in the deluxe rooms which were spacious and well appointed although the bed was a little hard but not really a problem. Thompsons sell this as a resort with three restaurants what... More

Ok so don't like all inclusives so not sure what to expect. However I guess it was what I expected in terms of group activities and buffet meals but not whati expected in terms of the standard. If you get a superior room it's great which we upgraded to as the standard one allocated was more premier inn than premier... More
