    To me, the music was always too loud. I found that annoying. The rooms are containers and the loudness outside is the same inside the container. I would think it is better to have the music more in the restaurant area instead of the whole place. And at the restaurant, it would be nice to have the music in the background so you can have easy conversations or even though speak on the phone. Music at Lala Galu was more chilling, but same, to loud for a restaurant. Beside that, fantastic stay and I will recommend the place.

    Super Staff, very flexible and supportive!!!

    I like everything about this place. What I like the most is its uniqueness, the cozy room. This is just my kind of place, not too crowded and a walk to the beach. The staffs are kinds and polite. Big shout out to Bilal. Love the place

    The breakfast menu could do with some more selections and also add more dishes to the menu.

    We liked everything about our stay here, everyone was super welcoming and accommodating. The place was extremely clean and modern. Close proximity to the beach and the food well, compliments to the chefs OMG food was Amazing.

    3 choices for breakfast that are good, Wanted a tea with honey after falling ill with a cold. Advised that would not be included in the choice of breakfast. I was willing to pay. Again there was a straight no it would not be possible because they did not know how to charge for the honey. The reason was that honey was used for cocktails only. which was unbelievable this made me want to leave as soon as possible for Cafe Java who would serve me DAWA as we call it in Kenya with unlimited HONEY. Reason for rating down this establishment

    The welcome was great. Shown the facilities upgrades to the galu lala that was nice and simple great value for money

    Hmm... nothing.

    The hotel has a defined modern look and feel to it. The design and colors give it a very unique and highly aesthetic look. I really enjoyed the pool, and the proximity to the beach. The bed was super comfortable. The burgers were amazing, the breakfast so yummy. The staff were very kind and welcoming. The place gave me a very different yet pleasant coastal experience. Would highly recommend!!💯
