Positive: The staff are amazing - we felt exceptionally well looked after. The rooms are gorgeous and elegantly done. The pool and views are beautiful. The snorkelling, paddle, the gym and tennis are included in the half board package and all are superb. The beaches are gorgeous. Having a private pool to yourself on days when it is a little cooler is great as the water remains warmer than the main pool. Definitely book the Chef’s dinner - it may not be clearly advertised but it happens every few nights and it’s a lovely experience. Having bikes allocated to everyone is a huge plus and so being able to cycle different places was great. We were two adults and an 11 year old and everyone would love to return.
Negative: We booked through booking.com and it isn’t clear on their page that if you book three nights the island will organise transfer from the airport to island as an included, even in the half board package. Otherwise it’s an extra $500USD. We paid our own way there (hiring a local boatsman) in the end and then wanted to stay a third night anyway so missed out on that offer. If it could be made clearer for everyone that would be helpful. Otherwise all brilliant.
Summary: A three day treat that lived up to high expectations.

Positive: This is, without a doubt, the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warm hospitality that instantly made me feel at home. The attention to detail throughout my stay was extraordinary, turning this trip into an unforgettable experience. A special mention to the welcome drinks personally offered by the management—a thoughtful gesture that set the tone for the exceptional service to come. I was assigned a dedicated butler, and I can’t praise him enough. He went above and beyond in every way, ensuring I was always comfortable and had everything I needed. Truly outstanding service! The room was absolute perfection—elegant, spacious, immaculately clean, and tastefully designed to blend luxury with local charm. Every element, from the linens to the lighting, felt curated for a flawless experience. The surroundings are some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen—nature at its most breathtaking. And when night fell, the African sky came alive. There’s something magical about it that made me feel deeply connected and completely at peace—like being home in the most unexpected way. Honestly, this hotel deserves 7 stars, not just 5. Every part of my stay was exceptional: - World-class service - Personalized attention - Luxurious and comfortable rooms - Stunning natural beauty I will definitely be coming back. This isn’t just a hotel—it’s an experience I’ll never forget.

Positive: If it was possible to translate heavenly holiday into a place that would be Bawe Island. The island is beautiful, the hotel is amazing and the staff is superb. Every little detail is though to make sure your stay is memorable. You’ll not feel a guest you’ll feel as being part of a group of friends where everyone cares for each other. Special thanks to Morris that from the first minute ensured everything ( and I mean every little detail) was taken care. The floating breakfast and the evening dinner at the beach will forever be in our memories. Jamal, Kefa, Morris, Grace, Eva Steven, and Apia, Mr Mehd, Rahma, Alphonce, Sadick, Mohammed, Magreth, Aisha, Maryam, Mussa and Samuela took care of us like no other - THANK YOU so much for making this stay memorable!
