Hands up if the only reason you booked this hotel was because of their offer; pay 3nights stay4 and it’s all inclusive 😄😄 Am guilty as charged 🤣 It was around October where hubby and his fellow forester Nation buddies have an annual coast trip to raise funds so they can visit a charity home. Last year was Diani. Since it was short notice I booked with Jambojet 5days before the trip and paid 12k for me and by baby as the others came down driving. If I had known earlier then i would have booked in advance and the flight would have been cheaper. There’s definitely many other flight options so be sure to check the net vizuri. You should know from September-December it’s peak seasons so book mapema cz flights can be costly. Check in time is 4pm and our flight was set to arrive at 4.30pm. Since I was being picked up by hubby I had no need for taxi. I would recommend you use uber rather than the hotel transportation, it’s cheaper since it’s a 5min drive from the airstrip. At first the entrance to the hotel was abit confusing and not an attractive site to be honest,you’d think your entering someone’s home and not a hotel. You can even confirm that their site doesn’t have a pic to the gate bcz its that bad. We were welcomed with refreshments and Kelvin is the one who checked us in as Joel came to help us with our bags to the room. We had booked the family room as it has 2rooms and we were 5. The only downside is the rooms are on the 2nd floor which sucks having to climb all those stairs. They should have been considerate when building the rooms cz of the kids too. Anyway the room is exactly as pictured in their website though the paint was a bit rundown and chipped thanks to the weather. We even saw painters as we walking to our rooms, apparently they paint the hotel 2 a year. We decided to chill in the room as we wait for dinner as guys were tired from all that traveling. Dinner time is 7.30-9pm. We went at 8.30 and let’s just say I was disappointed. Food ni kama ile ya any other buffet you’d find in a wedding or local restaurant,then it was like those last last bits. So underwhelming and just kawaida. Alafu,as I was in their choma station to pick their evening special, I got such a ka-small piece I was even wondering like do i look like a child. Apparently, food in this hotel kwishaz,so if you were to come at 8.50pm expect food you’d be disappointed. Azin even the dessert station didn’t have the fruits and cakes..bcz we were “late”. I was mad kwanza when one of the servers told me ati ukichelewa itabidi ujipange..am like what do you mean and I’ve paid. Every dinner was accompanied by entertainment just like any other hotel. All I can recommend just go early by 7.45pm. We went back room and we had to put mosquitoe repellents bcz they can be such a nag. Come breakfast, we went at around 8am and it’s just the same kawaida food….azin compared to Pride Inn hotels,these guys just don’t put in the effort when it comes to food…just lower your expectations. I also don’t like the fact yogurt also comes in glasses and not the kawaida mini yogurt cups you get in hotels. And,you can’t even carry it to your room. It’s a good thing I had a container to carry for my kids later on when they are hungry. The only things I can say I enjoyed was their pool and free unlimited drinks(including alcoholic drinks btw). Please note that it’s not ati tuskers,Guiness or Ciroc,Jameson and Smirnoff 🥲 they have their own brew alafu when it comes to liquor it’s those dingy pombes like Kibao or Kenya King🤣 And let’s just say I drank my heart out especially their cocktails, very superb 👌 They have a snack bar and imagine you can eat for free on their menu. I used to enjoy their pizza and mini burgers. You should also know the beach is not as pictured,it is full of weeds and not as blue. Watch out for beach boys for they can nag you to death, literally!! Check out is at 10am and it was very fast. Their prices are fair and I understood the moment I had my stay in the hotel. We paid about 48k during our stay. Will I be going back? Nope. But I am willing to try out their sister hotel which is the Lodge,I’ve heard good things. Don’t forget to carry sunscreen 😉
