Would definitely come again
Amazing pool, close to beach, nice staff (huge thanks to Praise, who cooked fresh pancakes every morning)
Pool closes at 8p.m., Service prices are really high (better get Bodas or TukTuks from the street, which is a 2 min walk).

Nice appartments
The place has potential - but still a way to go.
The place is under construction still - and I am sure it will improve. It seems that the appartments are sold and then rentes via Booking.com.
We stayed five nights as a family of 6 in two appartments.
The good
The appartments are very nice and there is a kitchen.
The pool and surroundings of the appartments is very nice.
The service team is good and pleasant.
Beds are hard (we like that) and there are very few mosquitoes.
Chef service was good
There is a mall 5 min walk from there. Tourist mall (expensive), but it is fine
The electricity supply is very undtagelse, but generators are in place in to take over, but they are extremely noisy and just outside every appartment. Of course a step-up from some of the previous reviews.
The kitchen equipment is very worn out.
The location is a bit off from everything, but just take a Tuk. The Lodge recommended Tuk-driver was a scam. Trying to get away with x3 normal pricing!! The recommended taxi-driver (Karim +254 726 780780 WhatsApp) was great. We used him in all cases.
Some guests like music. It was not an issue, but if everyone starts playing music, it will become very noisy.
Chef-service (20 USD per day + food spend) was good and pleasant, but having come from Diani chef-service on Aestus Resort (included), this was not same level, but for sure very nice and a recommended service.
The Beach is not really worth much. No beach chairs and the beach is not nice. You will be fronted by a million of beach boys selling souvenirs, coconuts and tours. I recommend never to buy anything as this just makes the problem worse. I sympathize with the people, but my support is not on the beach.
Would we go again. I think so, but I would take a look at recent reviews to see if the smaller negative matters have been resolved - if not I would likely choose a more “mature” lodge/villa.
