    I would prefer an all-inclusive option to avoid extra costs, especially for drinks.

    Breakfast was excellent, offering a wide variety of options. Dinner, though less varied, was still enjoyable. I really appreciated that they allowed me to check in early at no extra cost; it was a thoughtful gesture. I absolutely loved the calming beach view from the restaurant, which made the perfect backdrop as I reflected on my thoughts. My morning walks along the shore were incredibly therapeutic and refreshing.

    The staff doesn’t get the room numbers accurate, at check out we were given a bill of things we didn’t order because someone put it to our room or the bartender got the number wrong , they should better their system when it comes to charging things to the rooms to avoid this cause we spent 30 minutes telling them we didn’t order that until they called the bartender. Overall it’s a great place I would recommend it

    Great place to chill at the beach and have drinks

    The food at the lodge was not very good. We dined at another lodge where the menu was amazing and the food was tasty. I believe you need to consider changing your chef.

    It is a quiet and pleasant place to relax, with a beautiful environment.

    Nice area but exploitative practices around and partially on the premises

    What is however concerning are clear indications of old white men picking up young local girls around the beach area. It is often not clear whether legal boundaries in terms of child protection are crossed and it is a very bad look on the premises in the area to allow guests these exploitative practices. Law enforcement should step in

    The lodge, the surroundings and the area are beautiful.

    I moved to this hotel last minute after I was not happy with my airBnB elsewhere. When I say this was the best decision I made for myself on this trip! From the minute I checked in the staff were incredibly warm and welcoming me - offering me a welcome beverage and taking care of my whole check-in process for me while I took a seat. After I broke my nail during the check-in process, one of the staff members Hare noticed this and volunteered to take me to their spa where they immediately repaired it for me while another staff member took my bags to my room. The rest of my stay remained consistent as one of the best hotel stays I’ve ever had. The quality of the service here is second to none - they are all so kind, accommodating, attentive and flexible. The premises were clean and well-maintained and the food (I tried breakfast, lunch and dinner) was amazing! Despite being a solo traveler, I didn’t feel alone at all.

    The road to the resort is under construction so it is very bumpy, just to be warned it may not be a relaxing drive to get there.

    The staff were fantastic and really helpful, and the view, environment and food was perfect. I was only there for one day/night and I had an early start but the experience was so relaxing and special it was worth the short stay. I really liked the architecture and layout, which was inspired by traditional local roundhouse architecture and lovely open spaces to sit and relax. I had an amazing meal in the Dhow restaurant, which had beautiful traditional interiors and ambience and the service was great. The beach bar was also a lovely setting for a sunset drink, even when the wind picked up. One thing I really appreciated was the sensitive outdoor lighting, which really matched the vibe and importantly is better for biodiversity.

    Every other evening, they had a live band playing until.10pm. Unfortunately, so did the hotel next door. For someone who is noise sensitive, having two sources of loud music competing against each other was pure torture.

    Staff were great. The rooms were comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. Breakfast and dinner buffet was wonderful. And the I.ani Dhow restaurant is highly recommendable.

    Everything, how I feel when I am at Severin .

    Since August 2018 when I visited Severin Sea Lodge for the first time every time they give me a reason to want to come back. The reception, the environment the location. Severin gives me a feeling of a holiday, homely, valued and wanted. My home away from home.

    My young adults said WiFi kept cutting off but I told them they are in holiday so really no need for the WIfi 🤔 Personally I felt the night of saxophone entertainment too long- maybe 1hour 🎷 and the rest a band like the other nights. However I am aware the hotel is able to vary entertainment in accordance with the clients visiting

    Professional staff Every staff member we met said hallo All queries responded to within no time Lovely lovely food and drinks Lively entertainment Close to the beach and main road Great atmosphere and vibe during our stay Once inside Severin we felt really on a holiday During our stay we got surprised with invite for a cocktail party and also a fruit basket in our 2 rooms 😘🍸 Clean facilities all through

    We had a bad experience at the restaurant on the first day but the restaurant manager stepped in and took corrective action. We tried the hotel buffet for dinner on one of the nights and while the food was okay, desserts were very limited.

    We stayed in the Deluxe rooms and i must say they were very comfortable, spacious and clean. The beach location was perfect away from the crowds of the public beach. Two pools, one with a non-heated jacuzzi and small slide. Very clean and well maintained lawns. Breakfast was good.
