Everything! This was the best hotel from our 3 week trip! The staff was so friendly, always smiling and willing to help. It was so easy to arrange activities and transfers with the manager Peter. We had a great time! We really wish we could stay more nights here. The main area is very chill and quiet, there is a small pool but it's really nice to get refreshed. There are a few sofa's, sunbeds, tables and a bar. Also some books and cardgames. It's really nicely decorated and the colors are amazing! Our room was perfect (we had the Nyota room, with entrance at the side of the street): VERY clean, bathroom had warm water with good pressure, there was a hair dryer and the toiletries smelled really good, everyday our water for brushing teeth was filled up. the beds were good, there is an airco and fan, mosquito net, night lamp, there is a lot of space to put away or hang up your clothes, it was a very cosy room, also really nicely decorated, there is a little private garden in front of the room entrance with some space to sit down, clothing lines, also a water bassin to clean your feet from the sand before you enter the room, Just less than a minute walking from the hotel (beach is across the street), there is a very very good beachbar, which belongs to Zanzistar: Very relaxing vibe, good music, great food, juices, cocktails and many more, happy hour, sunbeds, sofa's, personal belongings are safe when you go the water, there is a wonderful beach (especially at high tide), you can even go see the sunrise in the ocean (of you want to wake up early 😉) We want to give a special thanks to George who works there, who was very kind to us and let us have a great time (and good drinks) there! 😊 Thank you Zanzistar! 🌟🙏
