Due to off season, the occupancy was very low, therefore we had a very private experience. The staff was very friendly and always ready to serve our needs. The room was simply amazing, spacious and equipped with anything we need - and even more. My personal favourite was the rocking bed in the garden. This hotel is definitely the best value for money on the Kenyan coast, and it is located on the best part of Garoda beach.”
