I was upgraded to a bigger room. Very clean. Joseph, the guest house manager, went above and beyond to provide an excellent service. He was always available and ready to help. The breakfast was varied and tasty.

It’s a gorgeous place tucked away in Shela. We loved the terraces, the gardens and chill out areas. Beach not far. The staff were brilliant and the food was great. It’s a lovely place to stay and would go back. We moved to one of the penthouse suites half way through (it’s how booked it) which had wonderful views and we were able to take our breakfast and dinners there which was lovely.

The staff were fantastic. Bonnie, Tito, Ngala and so many more. A really unusual hotel in that it is small but incredible food and beautifully cared for spaces.

Really beautiful. A haven of serenity and calm. Exceptionally kind and helpful staff. When food is requested and cooked to order it’s of higher quality than that in the luxury hotel along the beach.

I love the energy of the house especially the pool and the roof top terasse
It’s also more quieter then next to the ocean
The house is wonderful, spacious, luxury and quiet. Bassam is a great host and the staff are excellent too. We had a great time exploring from here or just enjoying doing nothing much at all. It is a bit outside Shela, but not that far and a nice village walk.
Bassam, the host, was really nice. He was very responsive and proactive. He helped arrange our transfers from and to the airport, ensured there was staff throughout to assist with anything we needed assisted with planning our activities, helped us find a good chef. The staff were polite and helpful.
The villa itself is beautiful. What you see is what you get! Very spacious, well furnished. The AC was working well.
Mellisa was very helpful, giving us local contacts to make our stay easier and more relaxing. The apartment was spacious and comfortable and had everything we needed. It was within walking distance to both the village and the beach. The locals were also very friendly and helpful.
Very nice, affordable and well located house in Shela with the most amazing helpful staff, highly recommended! Breakfast was also very good and you have a nice view over the village from the comfortable lounge area at the rooftop. I would definitly stay there again.
