“My favorite one in Paje so far”
As someone who lives in the north of the island and goes to Paje sometimes, this place is just perfect. Close to the beach, nice pool inside the hotel, nice rooms, good food, good price, but definitely the highlight for me is the attention of the personnel👌🏽

Close to restaurants,shops and paje center and 2 minutes walking the beach. Very very clean and kind staff. Breakfast good. Airco perfect and good bed with mosquito net. The swimming pool is little but very good. From Paje you can join jozani forest, kae beach or kuza cave in 30 minutes car or tuctuc.

“Good for a short stay in Paje”
Beautiful hotel for a short stay, the hotel is ok and near the beach but road access to the property can be very difficult by car. The hotel rooms have sliding glass doors leading to communal balcony - the inside is only curtains so can be quite intrusive if the curtains are blowing or not shut properly. Didn't feel private enough.

“Okay-ish.”
Good location, if you want to be near the sea but don’t want the busyness of the stays which are at the beach.
