nice family stay

hotel securitybeach restaurantroom service

i loved that the hotel security, dressed as 'maasais', patrolled the beach, which prevented vendors from bothering us! they even chased away monkeys trying to snatch our snacks? my kids really enjoyed the pools and the playground. i found the daily 11:00 am activities organized by dan and his team quite entertaining. playing water polo reminded me of my childhood. the food was delicious, even the kids thought so! we especially enjoyed ordering from the beach restaurant, with grilled prawns and coconut rice becoming a favorite. the room service staff was very polite. the gentleman who cleaned our rooms (3032 and 3033) did an amazing job.

It could cause some inconvenience when trying to reach certain parts of the hotel.
