“A most relaxed place close to ever busier Paje”
Beautifully located with a look on the ocean from every angle. The huts are nice and beautiful and the steady breeze made an aircon unnecessary.

“If you need some peace and quiet...you got it.”
The dining area is great, you can eat while feeling the sand underneath your feet. We enjoyed the fish curry at lunch, it was absolutely delicious. The whole outside area was quite beautiful, relaxing and spacious. The staff were friendly and helpful- Ussi even helped us rent bicycles to ride along the beach and overall we felt quite safe and well taken care of. The whole place was very quiet, no loud music, no noisy neighbours or construction or even dogs barking just the sound of waves and birds and the soft breeze and every once in a while a pretty Maasai by the beach saying ' 'Jambo' 'Hakuna Matata'

“Connection with the nature”
The garden is perfect to stay during the evenings and to enjoy the ocean and drinks. There you can feel the wind and stay for long nights. The food is delicious and staff is very friendly. Every day, catch of the day is different and you can try different fishes. Fruits served for breakfast are delicious. They clean the pool and room every day.

“Excellent value for money and well located.”
We had a fantastic sea view bungalow (eventually, see negatives). Breakfast was plentiful and excellent. The grounds were extremely clean and well maintained. The rooms were large and clean with a lovely day bed on the terrace for shady views of the beach in front. Lovely clean pool was a blessing to avoid the beach sellers and when the tide was low. The food was fine at the hotel but there is a great range of local restaurants nearby and in Paje (15min walk). Its a quiet beach in front of the hotel which suited us as the busier, more touristy beach of Paje, was only a short walk away along the beautiful beach. Helpful staff at the hotel helped us arrange, via WhatsApp, the 'Travel permit' needed to hire a scooter from one of the guys on the beach.

“small, friendly and in a lovely location but in need of a lot of TLC.”
Beautiful beachfront location in a quiet area. Good food. Relaxed atmosphere. Most of the staff were very helpful, when you could get their attention away from their phones! All staff were friendly and easy to chat to. Small hotel. Not expensive. The pool is a lifesaver if the tide is out! Small but clean and not crowded.

Location on the beach was a plus, the location from paje was a negative. $10 ride into town one way for 2km was ridiculous

“Looking for a quite restful stay, go for Makuti!”
Ideal for a quiet stay away from the very busy Paje while being at 5 minutes drive from all facilities. The location right on the beach with privacy is incredible! Staff, Food and Cocktail are great. The limited number of bungalows ensure maximum service and calm. The setting might be what heaven looks like if there is one 😉
