The resort is amazing and really peaceful. The location over the Mida Creek is fabulous with a fantastic view. Sleeping in the bubble is an unique experience, you can fall asleep watching the sky full of stars and be woken up by the sunrise. The owner and the staff are very kind and helpful in everything. We had a great time in Rock and Sea and we hope to come back soon.

We stayed in the tents. Loved the feeling of being in our own little forest with monkeys and birds all around. Open air shower is so refreshing. Not a far walk to the most amazing beach. Think its a brilliant idea with different kinds of accommodations available for different budgets and preferences. The Snackbar was wonderful. Stanley and his team really makes amazing food.

    The rooms were spacious and comfortable and the air conditioning worked well. I highly recommend the full back. legs and feet massage offered at the hotel- I felt fantastic afterwards. It is an Egyptian style massage - with two therapists working in tandem. Also the head therapist - who is a physiotherapist - also provided me a short but very effective neck massage that took away the pain in my shoulders and neck. Happy hour cocktails at the hotel bar with great views of the beach and ocean was wonderful.

    The apartment was very clean. It's white in colour and it's clear to see the work done on cleanliness. The rooms are spacious and bed is quite big to fit 2 adults completely with good air conditioning. The property in a serene private location, just near the beach. We appreciated the flexibility for early and late check ins. All our request for items not available was done in a timely manner. We will definitely visit the place again.

    Our stay at Mida Creek hotel offered a serene escape. Hotel's location provided a peaceful ambiance ideal for relaxation. There was the option to use a boat for transport to the opposite shore, adding a touch of adventure. Hotel's intimate atmosphere and personalized service made for a cozy retreat. The amenities, from comfortable rooms to scenic waterfront views, were thoughtfully designed for our comfort and enjoyment. The attentive and professional staff further elevated our experience. It would be 10/10 but...

    Proximity to the Indian Ocean, great air conditioning (very necessary indeed!), a quiet pool as well as a bigger, louder one. All rooms have beautiful views of the ocean.

    The accommodations were pristine, offering ample space and a luxurious bed fit for royalty. The air conditioning worked flawlessly, ensuring our comfort throughout our stay. Our taste buds were tantalized by the delectable meals, with the tangy tamarind juice and succulent pork chops quickly becoming our favourites. And let's not forget the delightful English breakfasts enjoyed each morning against the backdrop of a breathtaking sea view. I'm definitely coming back.

    My stay at Gecko Hotel was truly enjoyable. The resort staff were incredibly hospitable, making me feel welcomed from the moment I arrived. The service throughout my stay was excellent - friendly and prompt, ensuring all my needs were met without hesitation. The room provided was beautiful, and the air conditioning worked perfectly, creating a comfortable environment even the hot weather. Additionally, the lunch and dinner options offered at the hotel were quite pleasing.

    What a fantastic find. A home away from home atmosphere and couldn’t fault. Friendly staff who were so accommodating. Everyone knows your name and its like being part of the family. Delicious food and cocktails… cool vibe, and a chilled place to relax. Nothing is too much trouble. Air conditioning and WiFi. Sun loungers are great and beds are so comfy. A masseur is on standby if needed and she’s brilliant. Will definitely be back. Thanks to everyone at Mvuvi Lodge 😃😃
