    damp smell
    rude staff

    the beach may be lovely, but the room stank of damp, which is unbecoming for a so-called resort. i couldn't believe how rude the staff were, making me feel like a nuisance for asking about hot water. as if that’s not enough, i almost wrote a good review but then they didn't even offer me a complimentary drink!

    beautiful beach
    lack of amenities
    dismissive staff

    The hotel is beautifully located right on the beach.

    Our stay was quite disappointing due to the lack of basic amenities. The hot water in the shower was non-existent, despite assurances that it would be available. the staff's response to our concerns left us feeling dismissed, which is unfortunate given the potential of the location.

    double room
    serene ambiance
    outdated facilities

    The double room with a balcony offers a simple yet comfortable experience, perfect for relaxing. The ambiance around the property presents a serene atmosphere, making it easy to unwind.

    The hotel feels dated, and the pricing doesn't align with the condition. High tide prevents beach access for hours. this limitation disrupts the stay. power outages occurred nightly, interrupting comfort with loss of fan and AC. Some areas of the grounds appeared shabby and needed upkeep, and there were minor issues like a malfunctioning lock and bathroom fixture that required attention.

    spacious bungalows
    damp-smelling room

    A hidden gem on the beach

    The spacious and comfortable bungalows provided a wonderful escape, just steps from a beautiful and uncrowded beach. I loved lounging on the hammocks scattered throughout the lush garden.

    Although the room had a lovely design, the damp smell was a bit overwhelming, and the lack of air conditioning made it difficult to sleep comfortably during warmer nights.

    Perfect Beachside Getaway!

    This place is an absolute gem! The staff is super accommodating, and they even helped me swap out my breakfast choices when I wanted something different. Chill vibes all around with birds singing and waves crashing—best way to wake up! The beach is rocky, though, so swimming's a bit tricky.

    The spacious bungalows are beautifully surrounded by lush greenery, and the staff's friendliness makes the stay remarkable. The pool is inviting, and while internet access is limited, it adds to the serene atmosphere. the beach can be rocky and only swim-friendly during high tide.

    beachfront location

    we really loved our stay at the mbuyuni. the bungalows are spacious and clean, all set in a beautiful garden with lots of shade. it's just steps away from the beach where you can hear the amazing ocean waves. the staff are incredibly friendly, and they offer great massages at request. plus, there’s free drinking water, which is a huge plus!

    the mbuyuni is a lovely property right on the sand between palms. the double room with a balcony was simple yet comfortable, and the restaurant had a variety of food choices, including vegetarian options. the pool was a great spot for relaxing, and massages could be arranged on request, which was a nice touch.
