+The view from the room is spectacular. Food in the Nest restaurant down was ok, but quite expensive. The stuff prepare a room, especially a bet very nice. Good job girls!
−Pool was not always clean. Bathroom needs a reparation. Especially shower. The water is not coming out properly. It's difficult to take a shower like this. And it was dirty also. Electricity went off a lot. They don't have generator. Without A/C is very hot inside.

“Good stay”
+We had a wonderful stay and can genuinely recommend this place. Mohamed and the whole staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful from the first moment until we left. They were always available, quick to assist with anything we needed, and made us feel truly taken care of. The bungalow we stayed in was beautiful and very comfortable , clean, spacious, and perfectly located. Waking up to the ocean view and enjoying the peaceful surroundings was a highlight of our trip. The terrace area was great for relaxing, and everything had that calm, authentic beach vibe that makes you instantly switch off and rest. Overall, an amazing experience with great hospitality. Thank you, Mohamed, and thank you to the entire team , we would happily come back!

“Good”
+Overlooking Pongwe beach with a big view from the wide windows. Big room, nice bed, nice swimming pool.
−The facilities of the room were a little bare, e.g a kettle but no cups, and the TV didn't work. The curtains were thin so very bright in the morning. There was a new building going up next door, so quite noisy. This bit of Pongwe is extremely tidal. The staff were ok but we had a few misunderstandings. The restaurant food was nice, although there is a strange conversion rate in Pongwe of US$ to shillings, with majority of menus in dollars.

Une grande plage de part et d’ autre pour aller marcher Le calme et le bruit des vagues La chambre est décorée aux couleurs des boubous africain avec beaucoup de gout L’accueil, le jeune Mr est tjrs très a l’écoute du client et près a rendre service, extrêmement gentil L’immersion totale au coeur du village les restaurants pas loin et le petit déjeuné copieux servi en chambre . Les petites attentions dans e réfrigérateur eaux coca fanta… Asante sana

+Pyszne śniadania, profesjonalna i miła obsługa, pokoje czyste, sprzątane codziennie. Wyposażenie działało bez zarzutu. Basen również sprzątany co 2-3 dni. Super apartament.
−Małym minusem był brak klimatyzacji w salonie. W sypialniach była i w większości tam odpoczywaliśmy, bo w salonie było za ciepło.
