This very laid back
place is ideally located just off
Diani
Beach
near the
Tiwi
River
estuary on one of
Mombasa
s finest beaches. The hotels beachfront
is 700m long, palm fringed with magnificent powder
white beaches and typical
Indian Ocean
tropical waters. The place feels like a little
village next to the ocean and has a very laid back
atmosphere. Guests are welcomed on arrival in their
casual entrance by friendly staff with welcome
drinks and a cold towel to help alleviate the heat.
From the minute you arrive you are made to feel
welcome and at home. The hotel is medium
sized and spread nicely spaced over 25 acres of
ground. They have built the place so guests do not
have the feeling of living on top of each other. The
rooms are scattered around the gardens and they have
4 plunge pools strategically located around the
premises. No matter where you are, if you are hot,
there is a pool close by. Added to that they have a
main pool area almost on the beach, where you can
relax and soak up the stunning views. The management and
staff are fantastic, always welcoming and friendly.
Their general manager, Lucy Karume, is a friendly
very likeable person, and her style of management
can be felt throughout. The hotel is
privately located, and we really like the fact that
guests do not have that feeling of living on top of
each other, or on top of any neighboring hotels.
Added to this, the following watersports are for
free: Catamaran, windsurfing, two windsurfing
lessons, pedaloe, boogie boards and two scuba diving
lessons.
