5 nights were just right for me as I took a pre-Christmas break on the beach. Each morning after my run on the beach and shower, MY table was ready with nice tablecloths and a bouquet of flowers. As I'd sit down, Foday was immediately there to take my order. African omelette and coffee was my favorite, followed by mixed fresh fruit. I gorged on fresh-caught seafood, including lobster, for lunch and dinner. My room was so carefully maintained daily that I couldn't find a speck of sand on the floor! The staff is superb and friendly--some even know how to greet you in various languages. Nova Afrika has European high-quality rooms -- only 11 in number for an exclusive getaway.
