The hospitality starts all the way from the reception which is accompanied with serenity which I was craving for. The evening was silent with the ocean waves making their soundings whooooooo and yielding a refreshing wind. The hotel attendants were quick and very hospitable- always giving the best and serving fresh foods both in quality and quantity. The hotel speciality of vegetarian is very unique. My wife has threatened to go back to the hotel if I refuse to accompany her before the end of the year (I will definitely do agree !!). We walked along the beautiful beach and enjoyed mingling with the boat operators. We felt save and encouraged by the beach boys who were offering information on sea expenditions- boat glass, dhow trips and African carvings/arts among others.

The most attractive site was the rooms. Made of traditional papyrus, old woods with no nails- you really feel like you are back to your serene past especially the bed. All my stress found the medicine in the same bed- I slept on and on even untill the birds woke me up. My wife has never seen such a bed and we forget to ask the manage where to source the same.
