    serene ambiance
    postponed event
    cancelled class

    The serene ambiance around the relaxing wellness centre was inviting.

    Following our arrival, we were disappointed to discover that the Swahili evening we had eagerly booked was postponed, leaving us without that anticipated experience. the yoga class we were looking forward to was canceled without any prior notice, which made our afternoon plans disappointing. While our overall stay was relaxing, these hiccups, along with the inconvenience of steep stairs, dampened what could have been an exceptional retreat.

    cozy garden
    exceptional staff
    breathtaking views
    steep stairs

    Staying at Banana House was truly a delight. The spacious King Suite with Sea View offered breathtaking views that captivated every morning. The ambiance in the beautifully landscaped tropical garden felt cozy yet open, perfect for relaxing. Breakfast brought a lovely touch with plenty of fresh fruits and choices like pancakes or the robust Swahili version. The staff were exceptional. they took care of our spontaneous excursions and ensured our every need was met. Experiencing the vibrant local culture felt seamless thanks to their recommendations. On the downside, the stairs leading up to our suite could be a workout, especially if you're not accustomed to climbing. this did not overshadow the wonderful time I had here.

    delicious seafood
    finicky shower

    We had a mighty time soaking up the sun in the lovely garden and munching on delicious seafood. The staff were absolute gems, sorting out all our activities with ease. Just a pity the shower was a bit finicky, but I managed in the end.

    The stairs were a bit steep.

    pleasant but needs minor improvements

    Our stay in the King Suite with Sea View was quite luxurious. The incredible breakfast options made our mornings delightful, and the staff consistently went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The pool environment was serene, providing the perfect ambiance to unwind after a day of exploration.

    Though the location was stunning, the distance to some attractions could require a bit of effort.
