El desayuno es increíble, y las habitaciones y las instalaciones geniales. La única pega que se le puede poner es que las habitaciones olían un poco a humedad, y para un hotel de esa categoría, hay detalles que se deberían cuidar un poco más. El gimnasio es diminuto y la playa, por desgracia, está llena de rocas, hay que andar bastante para poder disfrutar de un poco de agua transparente y arena.

We had a wonderful stay at Swahili Beach Resort! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The rooms were spotless and well-maintained, making our stay very comfortable. A special thank you to Edna, who was especially helpful during check-in. She made sure our family of four was assigned to rooms next to each other, which made things so much easier for us. She also kindly arranged a late check-out to accommodate our late flight—something we really appreciated. Overall, excellent service, clean rooms, and a warm, relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend!
