Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: We recently had the privilege of spending 4 glorious nights at Kijani Hotel, Shela in Lamu. Everything from the greeting at Manda airport by Boniface, boat crossing to the island, welcome at the hotel, breakfasts served by Sifa, lunches, dinners and our beautiful room felt like we were in paradise. Our tour of Lamu old town courtesy of Mohamed and dhow sunset boat trip with Henry added to our visit. This really is a piece of heaven and we can not praise Kijani hotel enough. We will without a doubt be returning sometime soon.

Negative: Misleading advertisement of beach front where there is no beach, just a small strip of dirty docking area for local boats. The bathroom was bad, broken sink, hot and cold taps are wrongly marked, and no shelves for shampoo or other bathroom toiletries.
