Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Staff was friendly, attentive and approachable. Excellent customer service. Quiet beach was wonderful; very little foot traffic from anyone outside the resort. Meals were lovely; included dinners were delicious and the options for paid lunch were reasonably priced, fresh and very tasty.
Negative: Breakfast was lovely -- eggs to order daily, African pancakes, fresh fruit, muffins, yogurt, etc. Usually at least one additional hot dish daily too, juice, coffee, tea. Having just come from some AMAZING hotel breakfast buffets where we generally ate our largest meal of the day, this felt just a touch more basic. Possibly adding some additional "salad" or cheese options would add a bit more bult for those who make breakfast the large meal. Not a complaint but a suggestion for the management: there seems to be some space on premises to add a very small open air gym which would be VERY much welcome by folks coming off long safaris with little option for exercise. Doesn't need to be elaborate -- maybe a stationary bike, some free weights, yoga mats, and possibly and elliptical machine would be FABULOUS. Willing to pay a few buck extra per day for that option. : )
Summary: Peaceful beach stay with excellent customer service in an idyllic setting
