I loved the location, the vibe, the food- especially the calamari. I loved friendliness of the staff, the pool. They organized entertainment, first night we had acrobats who actually involved the guests . The 2nd night we had a white themed party with cocktails and oldies music. Reaaaaallllyyyy fun!! Florence kept vibing with is and all the other guests to give us a personalized experience. There were many foreigners and as a Kenyan, I felt treated equally, which was refreshing. The staff are attentive, warm, professional and thorough.

Very spacious and clean. Value for money. Lots of private areas to sit around. AC was good and the hot water. Only down side was we had to go one a dusty gravel road (10minute walk ) to reach the property. You always need a tuk tuk for this. Profit who was looking after our flat and cooking our breakfast was very helpful.

Great customer service, the staff was very friendly and tried to make the best of our stay. We had to check out at 10AM, though they gave us a different room to leave our luggage and to take a shower before we went to the airport. We loved the pool(s), we enjoyed the food (The lobster was delicious), and you have immediate access to the beach. The beach is beautiful, clear blue waters and white sand. Great for water sports such as kitesurfing and wind surfing.

High-end hotel with nice ambience, friendly staff, spacious and clean rooms and comfortable beds. We stayed for 4 nights at Median Palms and we really had time to relax and recharge after the safari we did before. We've been pleasantly surprised by at the checkin when they upgraded our room to a spacious villa. Additionally, there is a a water sports center on the beach where our kids took wind-surfing lessons.
