This petite beach on the island boasts a tranquil atmosphere unlike the bustling hotels in Diani nearby. It's perfect for those seeking a peaceful getaway. If you're in search of a serene seaside retreat, this is the ideal destination. The beach may not be expansive, but its narrowness makes it effortless to maintain, ensuring a pristine and enjoyable experience.

2 Very poor

For a hefty price of $450 per day, the beach experience was far from satisfactory. The room was unclean and the toilet and safe were out of order. The overpowering smell of chlorine emanated from the toilet, which was located within the $450 room. The air conditioner was also ineffective in providing relief from the heat. The staff was unresponsive and unhelpful unless tipped $10-20. Swimming was only possible during a limited two-hour window in the afternoon, as the tide was out for the rest of the day. Furthermore, there were no basic amenities provided for entering the water. After just one night, we were forced to change hotels, as the issues were not exclusive to our bungalow but also plagued the penthouse guests.

The beach was quite the spectacle, I must say. The hotel on the island was also quite impressive. However, if you're looking for a truly unique and authentic beach experience, this is not the place for you. The beach was overcrowded with tourists and the hotel felt more like a corporate chain than a cozy island getaway. Don't get me wrong, the amenities were top-notch and the views were stunning, but the lack of character and charm left me feeling underwhelmed. All in all, a decent beach vacation spot, but not one that I would rave about to my friends.
