Positive: I enjoyed the breakfast a lot, the location was great, there are many boats docked right next to the hotel waiting to take you to any other part of Lamu and the staff was always available to help organize other outings.
Negative: The only thing I did not like was that the air conditioner would be turned off during the day and turned back on at night. I am a solo traveler and remote worker so not having air conditioner when the sun is very hot and strong made it difficult to get work done. Other than that everything was great!

Positive: The breakfast was good offering fresh fruit, fresh fruit juice and choice of eggs or pancakes.
Negative: The facilities in the room itself are quite limited and the shower has poor water pressure. The room was directly facing the jetty and although this gave good sea views, it could get a little noisy and busy at times. This was also the case in the restaurant where sometimes it could be too noisy
Summary: Our stay was quite relaxing although the location right on the jetty made it a little busy and noisy
