I had an incredible stay at this resort with stunning ocean views from my room, which boasted a private sandy terrace and an outdoor bathtub. The dining experience was top-notch; some of the best food I've had during my time in Kenya. However, some aspects could use improvement for a perfect stay.

The dining was exceptional, featuring some of the best food I've tasted in Kenya. However, while the views were amazing, the outdoor ocean view bathtub could use a little improvement in privacy.
