Wonderfoul hotel for those who need rest and required quiet place
Pros:

The hotel is quiet, a perfect place for those who need rest, want to find privacy, and try to avoid the rumor of "beach boys." The staff is excellent, the food was very good, the hotel manager was awesome, and the staff at the pool/beach bar was incredible. For sure will be back there next year.

Cons:

Nothing to add

séjour parfait
Pros:

Séjour en famille parfait avec mon mari et notre petite fille d'un an et demi, qui a été traitée comme une reine par tous les membres du personnel.
Tout comme nous, d'ailleurs.
Hotel calme, propre, accueillant, cosy et chaleureux.
La vue depuis le restaurant est à couper le souffle.
Les plats sont de bonne qualité et variés pour ceux qui ne veulent pas faire l'effort de gouter aux spécialités locales.
Le personnel a été au top du début à la fin, très à l'écoute, souriant et n'en fait pas trop.
Le jardin avec piscine est un véritable havre de paix, il ne faut rien changer dans cet hotel. Merci encore à tous.

Cons:

Si vous êtes du genre FaceTime à plein volume, activités en permanence et dans l'attente de vous gaver, allez ailleurs. J'ai vu des commentaires qui se plaignaient de problèmes de climatisation .. Si ça vous pose problème, il serait peut-être mieux de choisir Ibiza comme destination !
Il n'y a rien de négatif à dire sur ce séjour,

Wonderful stay; George is the MVP!
Pros:

My stay at Sahari was nothing short of wonderful! The property is beautiful and impeccably maintained, with everything kept exceptionally clean. There is direct access to the beach from the hotel restaurant, which is such a treat—you can grab a drink and/or a bite to eat and enjoy the beach while still staying within the hotel grounds.

The breakfasts are delicious and ordered à la carte, ensuring freshness. The pool area is also lovely and very tranquil. My room was absolutely beautiful; the comfy bed and fresh linens contributed to truly restful sleep. I also appreciated the refillable water bottles, which is a great sustainable touch.

There is a pharmacy conveniently located right next to the hotel, though the closest ATM is about a 10-minute drive away in Paje. The hotel also offers various excursions that can be booked on the spot.

That said, the true value of this place lies in the people who work here—everyone is incredibly warm, welcoming, and fun. A special shoutout to George, who went above and beyond to ensure my stay was an absolute dream. I’m so grateful I had the chance to visit Sahari and meet such wonderful people, and I very much look forward to returning!

Overall, a nice stay at Sahari!
Pros:

Very friendly staff and nice food! And amazing view from our room. Overall we enjoyed our stay there - one night only.

Cons:

The room that we were given had a really bad smell of mold so we had to open the windows and ceiling fan to sleep at night. Also the beach in front of the hotel is in really bad condition as there is a lot of garbage everywhere.

Un bel endroit harmonieux, intime et apaisant, tout y est beau !
Pros:

La grande harmonie du lieu, en termes d’architecture, de décor et d’emplacement. Ambiance raffinée et intime, belles harmonies de teintes beiges et grises, avec les banquettes et les coussins assortis qui mettent des belles touches de couleurs. Piscine spectaculaire, de plan carré avec un îlot central, on peut nager environ 40 m avant d’en faire le tour ! Personnel incroyablement prévenant et aux petits soins pour nous. Endroit privilégié, bercé par la brise marine. Le soir tout est éclairé par des lampes tempête posées au sol, c’est très joli et intemporel ! Les chambres 14 et 17 sont superbes, à l’étage, grandes et isolées, avec un balcon intime donnant sur la mer, bien équipées ( cf prises usb a et c), avec un beau mobilier confortable en bois clair , un grand parapluie au cas où et une bonne literie, des serviettes moelleuses et de beaux foutas épais pour la plage. Je quitterai à regret cet endroit magique, merci et asente sana !
