Vibes and energy are awesome. Quite and spacious and lovely garden.
We found the AC in our room not working. They tried to fix it for the entire trip the couldn’t so the compensation was to make our stay as half board instead of breakfast only for two days. But still we payed double the price for a service that wasn’t provided.

The hotel is located in an amazing position, less than 2km from Paje, on a stunning beach. The best part of this hotel is that rooms are located directly on the beach, in a beautiful garden and the staff! The structure is very quiet, it’s perfect to chill and relax. The staff was amazing, always ready to help you or to satisfy your desires! The food was great, both breakfast and dinner were excellent! Another great aspect is the price!
The main structure, the one connected with the reception, that was the principal restaurant actually has collapsed some time ago, leaving a big cement area in the middle of the resort, but on booking is still possible to see photo of it. In general the structure is old and needs some maintenance, like the garden lights which are almost all burned out.

The location
No fridge, food was terrible, not much option in the restaurant had to eat in other hotels nearby, it was dark, no plugs in the main room, no decent size mirror, no fridge in the room, mosquito nets were ripped, dark around lodge at night nice to have lights for a pathway as it was scary walking back at night.

Staff was very friendly and helpfull and they upgraded our room free of charge. Also, late checkout is possible, even in night hours, if room was available :)
While once gorgeous place, some facilities were recently damaged and need repair.

gorgeous location in a sand park like environment next to beach; small restaurant with little selection however serving real tasty food; management took feedback of plastic pollution close to hotel serious and initiated some cleanup
aircondition without possibility to close window does not make any sense, no fridge, no tv; coverage of wifi not quite state of the art

The hotel staff was very kind and helpful. the room was cleaned twice a day ?
Some things in the hotel are old and need to be renovated (around the pool). Due to a storm, the main restaurant was destroyed but there is a small dining area where you can eat

Property is very well located on a quieter beach 25 min walk by the beach to paje
The property was affected by a recent storm and the restaurant area was destroyed. Leaving us to use a reserve restaurant that did the job.

This property was probably one of the top ones along the coast a while ago. I like places with patina and character and would always prefer them to some slick exchangeable unit. Taken into account the relatively low price this is a place that comes with all the amenities I would expect. There is even local flair with meals, thanks to the cook. None of the prefabricated western fare. Very few other guests — perfect. A great place to relax. There were first some problems with the safe box and sink but because of swiftly addressing the problem, all was good. Again, don’t expect five stars if you pay for two, but this is a good value option and gave me all I wanted. Special mention to staff Rehema,- very attentive with heartfelt hospitality. Thank you everyone at HM!

Welcome Drink at Check in with friendly smiling team. Of course the Location of the Hotel is amazing with beautifull beach. At low tide just use the big Pool. Hotel is well protected by Local guards "Masai" There were enough Deck Chairs day and night. Wonderfull that WiFi works outside too. Breakfast was good , especially the fresh prepared eggs or omlettes. Varieté of breakfast is good. Hotel is close to Paje Center where you can find pharmacy or markets. Check out was friendly like Check out and I get help with my heavy bag. I recommend this Hotel for everyone with kids or couples.
I wished to have a small fridge in room.
