Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
I stayed at this villa during my trip to Africa and had a mixed experience. While the staff was absolutely wonderful—kind, helpful, and made me feel very welcome throughout my entire stay—the property itself did not fully meet expectations.
One of the main issues was that the flooring shown online was completely different from what was actually in the villa. The pictures showed sleek, hard flooring, but when I arrived, the entire villa was carpeted—even in the bathroom area, which felt unsanitary and not ideal for a tropical climate. I believe it’s unfair and misleading to advertise one thing and provide another.
Additionally, the internet went out on the last night of my stay, which was inconvenient, though I understand technical issues can happen.
Overall, the people made the experience memorable, but I do hope the listing is updated to reflect the actual interior more accurately so future guests can make informed decisions
