generally adequate stay

helpful staffclean roomincorrect photobad experience
i found the staff to be helpful. neema and miriam were friendly. the rooms were clean. the cocktails and food were great.
The photos incorrectly showed the hotel. it was beachfront, but you must walk down a road to reach the connected restaurant. the restaurant granted beach access and loungers. bad dining experiences occurred at that restaurant. I was disappointed by that.
