“On a combined leisure and work trip this place was perfect for me. Loved that it is a small place, so you can really rel”
Wonderfull place, nice and quiet, cozy room, all the amenities you need, nothing fancy og flashy but makes you feel at home. All staff is very kind, sweet and helpfull, and generously helped me with both early check-in and late check-out.. The pool area is set in a lovely garden, where you can easily spend days, if you don’t want to plunge in the ocean (or when it is low tide). Hope to come back.

“Excellent hôtel”
We loved everything about this hotel. Our room was nice and spacious, and had a very comfortable bed. The hotel also has plenty of common areas filled up with African furniture, decorations and art, and had a overall comfortable vibe. The pool was nice, and the breakfast very tasty (and absolutely good value for money). Overall cleanliness as well. Good location close to both the beach and the town centre. The absolutely best thing thought, was the staff. Everyone working there was extremely kind, helpful and service minded. They made our stay amazing. We especially want to thank George and Dickson for all their help.
