Wonderful Getaway
My cousin and I stayed for a few days and we loved every bit of it! The property is stunning and the service is impeccable. Everyone made sure our time was comfortable and we felt very well taken care of. Kelvin is so helpful from beginning to end. The front desk helped us book transportation when needed and made great recommendations for things to do in the area. The food was delicious. We really enjoyed Shadrack’s cooking and how well he took care of us at Zanzibar. Silo gave us wonderful service as well at Baharinhi. Please do not hesitate, book this place now!

4/10 Fair

Upon checking in, the staff was not thorough in their explanation of services, booking, amenities, etc. This caused much confusion throughout our stay. In trying to seek clarification, we were met with a dismissive reservation staff who sought to make us more uncomfortable. They even went to attacking me verbally and then denied this to upper management. Out of the numerous issues with my booking including a broken A/C unit, TV, toilet, and clogged sinks, they didn't make an effort to resolve these issues quickly, if at all. My toilet was not fixed over the course of 6hours on the day I checked in, even though I had reported it twice. My sinks stayed clogged, the TV never worked. Just incredibly disappointing and offensive for the level of holiday enjoyment they claim to offer. To top it all off, management waited until the day of my checkout at the final offer to discuss our incidents. They offered not one single complimentary experience, discount on stay, etc. Just an "I'm sorry, I hope you'll return." With that, I won't be. This establishments only saving grace is its beauty and the wait staff.
