Beautiful guesthouse with comfortable rooms and a rooftop suite with a private terrace
Beautiful guesthouse taken over in 2015, renovated and furnished in Swahili style. The rooftop suite features a kitchenette and private terrace with outdoor shower, hammock and magnificent sunset views. The other rooms, some with small balconies, are no less spacious and comfortable (with en-suite bathrooms). On each floor, you can share the living-dining room. It's impeccably clean, simple and functional. The house does not provide meals, except for breakfast.

Cela aurait dû être un avertissement sur la façon dont le reste de mon séjour allait se dérouler car le personnel était extrêmement impoli et condescendant. Le petit déjeuner ne vaut pas non plus la peine et est composé de produits achetés au supermarché local et servis aux clients. Il n'y a rien de frais ici.
Je pense que le petit déjeuner est surestimé - goût normal avec une flexibilité limitée sur la quantité et les options (j'ai eu de bien meilleures expériences à Shela). Il est également un peu gênant que tous les clients soient obligés de prendre leur petit-déjeuner sur une grande table sur la terrasse (particulièrement gênant si vous séjournez dans la suite sur le toit).
Amani et le reste du personnel de l'hôtel ont été très joyeux et accueillants. Ils nous ont offert un service de conciergerie 5 étoiles : ils nous ont aidé à recommander des activités et des endroits où manger, ils ont fait des réservations pour nous et nous ont même accompagnés à nos premiers rendez-vous.
Le petit-déjeuner était délicieux et frais tous les matins. Nous avons pris notre repas sur le toit-terrasse, qui offre une vue imprenable sur la ville de Shela et la mer.
Je reviendrai certainement un jour. J'ai hâte de le revoir ????
