Mihai P.
The food was very good, though there weren’t many choices, and the staff were extremely friendly. From what I saw, their boss was quite tough on them and came across more as a boss than a leader. I spent seven nights at Palumbo Kendwa. The rooms didn’t feel like four-star quality, but the hotel made up for that in other ways. It’s not right on the beach, though a dala dala takes guests back and forth with very little wait. On our last day, the internet was cut off completely because of the elections, so I couldn’t contact my parents. Halima helped us a lot with that, and I don’t know what I would’ve done without her. Thanks to her, and to Hasiana too.

A good choice if you want tasty food and a quiet place. The staff, from reception to housekeeping, were nice too. We stayed seven days through Dertour agency, until 13.02.2025. It was a very nice place for us. Greetings to Tanju and Raja :) Ionut and Vali

Really nice hotel with good staff. Patrick at reception took great care of the guests, and there were good cold beers at the bar. The DALLA-DALLA rides to the beach were really convenient. There was a show every evening. Highly recommend.

I stayed here in 2019 and have only good things to say. The staff were helpful and friendly, the food was great, and the service felt very customer focused. The beach is in one of the best parts of the island. Loved it ❤️

The friendly staff made our stay okay. The resort is away from the beach, about a 10-minute walk or a short, bumpy ride on the free shuttle, which runs between the resort and beach until 22.30. We had lunch at the resort’s beach restaurant, where the pasta was alright. The buffet dinner had a good range of food and was a good deal at $10. Breakfast was disappointing one morning: most of the fruit had run out, the instant coffee was lousy, and the fruit juice was watered-down cordial. With fresh fruit readily available in the country and coffee grown here, guests should be offered fresh juice and coffee.
