Cons:

I very rarely write negative things about a hotel,but I have to be honest as this is one of the more expensive hotels.On arrival at first every thing seemed fine,went to put money in safe ,safe dident work,went to phone reception,no phone in room,walked back to reception (long walk)safe was fixed quickly.went to make cup of tea,we had milk sugar coffee,tea,wait for it ,no kettle.had no electric several times and no water atall for two of the six days.on the second occasion of no water I walked to reception to tell them we had no water and was told if it was not back by morning to phone reception,!Rant over and I know we can all be unlucky sometimes,I don’t want to put any one off visiting,it really is stunning hotel

Could have been better. 6 days without room phone. What could I do incase of emergency?
Pros:

Location.
Very good staff, almost all, polite

Cons:

I got a lower room than one I paid for. The one I paid for for old & broken. The cheaper one was fairer.
But stayed and extra two days trying to connect.
Will get a refund?
Couldn’t have a safe fixed for 7 days.
Food wasn’t good,
Please don’t post me comments.
Just sharing only with you please,

Paradise location, slightly overpriced
Pros:

Beautiful pools and surroundings
Good food
Great animation team
Helpful staff
Comfortable rooms
Great air conditioning
Safety & security
Quick support with getting a doctor when I got sick
Local touch by inviting crafts people

Cons:

Some of the staff were colder than in other places in Kenya, it really depends of who you speak with
It was a struggle to find pool beds after 10am, an easy fix for the hotel to buy a few more
I feel the hotel is overpriced - especially the buffet
