Ndame hotel had a good value room for a group of 3, bargain for a good rate. The room was basic and old but clean and comfortable enough. The stretch of beach is really beautiful and perfect for swimming as the beach slopes a bit giving some depth in the high tide. The kite surfing is not too out of... More

Thank you for your feedback and taking time to write a review. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us, and agree with you that we have one of the most beautiful stretches of beach here. The kiting is close enough but far enough to enjoy the view of just the amazing Indian Ocean, particular from... More

Lovely, lovely place...there are about 30 rustic bungalows in this nice little resort with its wonderful garden...nice and clean, nothing fancy. Daily power outages are normal (it is Africa, after all), but the kitchen has a generator, and you can get candles from the restaurant if you don't have flashlights or similar. Great helpful staff - nice, chatty German host.... More

OchayeGlasgow below is on the spot. The beach, the bar, the food and the location is great. There are no "beach boys" on the beach, it is quiet and relaxed. However, the rooms need updating and we understood that there is an ongoing renovation, though one room at a time. We are a family and there were no newly renovated... More

We arrived late at night and were shown to our room and first impressions were not good. The room needed updating and was in a bad state of repair. The next morning we moved to a newly renovated room which was better. The rooms and bathrooms are small, although perfectly clean and the bed was very comfortable. There is no... More

Nice beaches and Good food but too may power cuts in the evening. Could do with serving a decent cup of coffee in the morning especially as they do a good breakfast but you have to pay extra for this.
