"Our transfer was by Hotel complimentary boat from the airport ( makes sure you organise a few days before ).
Our room was a junior suite, it was huge.
The island is paradise.
Everyone super friendly, happy & helpful."
"I reserved and paid back in October. When we arrived on Jan 11 -- we were told that our reservation was cancelled. In fact they were hosting a wedding - and cancelled our reservation without any warning. They proposed a disgusting replacement hotel (one-star backpacker hotel) which was 30€ per night rather than the 90€ per night we paid. We wasted 2 hours of limited time in beautiful Lamu. They refused to reimburse us and refused to send an email confirming that they cancelled a paid reservation...
"Dream location with excellent & friendly service. The quality of the food is one of the best I had in Kenya. The views and facilities are top level. Definitely will be back with family & friends."

"Lovely, helpful staff and a great location, right by the water where you look down on everyday life, dhows, donkeys and all. Quiet garden with pool and sunloungers. Excellent rooftop restaurant. 30 minute walk to Lamu or short boatride.
Large, traditional rooms so don't expect TVs. "
