    This hotel is a gem! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and a refreshing welcome drink. The location is unbeatable, right next to a beautiful beach and with stunning ocean views. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with all the basic amenities we needed. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that we had a fantastic stay, even offering a personal TukTuk driver to take us wherever we wanted to go. And the breakfasts were delicious, especially the avocado with egg toast. We couldn't have asked for more!

    No improvements needed, everything was perfect!

    The hotel is situated along a peaceful stretch of beach, providing a serene location to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. Rooms are clean and comfortable with all necessary amenities. the owner, Ameen, is a gracious host who goes above and beyond to ensure guests are satisfied, even offering personalized tours of the local area. the food is homemade and delicious, providing a taste of the local culinary scene.

    The hotel does not always honor bookings made through third-party websites, causing confusion and frustration for some guests.

    The location was amazing! We loved being right on the beach, feeling the sand between our toes and hearing the waves crashing on the shore. It was a great place for a relaxing holiday. We also appreciated the variety of activities offered, from surfing lessons to crocodile spotting tours. Plus, the staff were friendly and accommodating.

    Our room was not up to our expectations. It was quite basic and not as clean as we would have liked.

    Had a great Christmas time! We loved the food and the stunning view of the Indian Ocean from our room. The nearly private beach was perfect to relax. We also enjoyed the surfing lessons at an unbeatable price! The location was great as it was a short bicycle ride from town and away from the crowds.

    The Wi-Fi was slow and the staff, except the owner, didn't speak English. It was a bit far from town, which meant we had to take a tuktuk at night, but it wasn't a big deal.
