    It was even better than the photos, great pool and beach. By far the best shower in Africa: powerful subtle temperature changes and handheld. Safari, the manager outstanding

    The beach house was great and great value and the receptionist Safari was very helpful and nice. The house was a 3 minute walk to the beach and they had some nice beach umbrellas to provide shade. The beach is quiet, white sand and good swimming.
