Location

The location was great with easy access to the beach and the Mombasa-Malindi highway. It was close to places like Haller Park and a go-kart place, making it convenient for exploring. However, there might not be much to do apart from the beach for first-timers to Kenya.

Dining

The dining experience was satisfactory, with nice pastries. It would have been better if dining options were included in the daily rate or if the in-house restaurant had more reasonable rates.
