Séjour très agréable !
Pros:

Hôtel très sympathique. Les chambres sont fonctionnelles, lit confortable et Clim qui marchait. Le personnel est très aimable et serviable. L’emplacement est top, à 200m de la plage. Piscine très agréable et reposante.

Cons:

Seul bémol, le lieu est envahi de moustiques, prévoir un spray. Aussi, le petit dej n’est pas très copieux, j’ai pris les pancakes et il manquait beaucoup de sirop d’érable, ils étaient un peu secs…

Great hotel with amazing value for money!
Pros:

Great location, just 1 minute from the beach. Very attentive, friendly staff and good communication before and during the stay.
The breakfast is great, you choose between full english, vegan (see pic) and pancakes. We tried them all and liked it a lot. It comes with tea/coffee and fruits.
Clean rooms with everything you need, good restaurants around. Bar is open 24/7, pool area is also food for some chilling.

Se dovessi tornare in Africa farei un paio di giorni in più a Diani
Pros:

Siamo stati accolti da Harriet, ragazza fantastica , molto cordiale e disponibile. La vicinanza alla spiaggia è la cosa che ci è piaciuta di più. Le camere non grandissime ma per un soggiorno di 3 notti vanno più che bene e sono pulite.

Convenient, clean and affordable a few mins walk to the best beach in the world.
Pros:

Location and affordability

Cons:

It can get noisy at night and the staff needs to understand that as a vegetarian you don’t just remove the sausage from the plate after specifically stating I was a vegetarian. Options for vegetarians for food was lacking.
