Отель неплох. Нет Wi-Fi в номерах The hotel is not bad. No wifi in rooms

Hotel. We chose the hotel (and the beach) carefully. They even agreed to reschedule the trip when they did not receive the first confirmation. They didn't regret it. The hotel is 4*. Although. Upon arrival, it turned out that instead of the ordered 2 double rooms in the same building on different floors, we were placed in different buildings and mixed up which one. I had to figure it out and in the end we got what we wanted without any additional payments. In the room: a large, clean bed with a canopy; air conditioning, fan, refrigerator, safe, table, two chairs. There are three hangers in the hallway (! ). The bathroom has a shower, a toilet, two sinks, two towels (at the end they brought another small one for the legs). On the balcony there is a table with 2 chairs. Everything worked, although the plumbing could have been more decent. Not a single mosquito, few flies, like all the time on the territory (apparently that's why there were no birds at all except crows and sparrows). There were almost no ants on the second floor. Friends on the first - were, but not many. In our room, a green gecko was peacefully crawling along the walls. The safe broke on the first day, but was fixed immediately.
Beach. Apparently the best on the island: clean, soft sand, not many vacationers. The tides were practically not noticed. The ocean is as beautiful as in renaissance paintings. Warm water is a couple of degrees below the air (up to 30 on land - 27 in water). Never wore slippers. Crazy scooters circle the beach area behind distant buoys. Colorful Masai sometimes bother, but after meeting they do not stick.
The only significant downside. Every month on the full moon, the nearby Kendwa Rock Hotel holds a festival. From sunset to sunrise, the music rumbles so that the glass rattles and the walls stagger. Do not close your eyes. The head is cracking. I went to reception twice at night. At first they promised that the madness would stop at 2 am, then later. I got them to call the police, but the police do not pick up the phone at night. I strongly advise those who want to relax at night, find out the time of the full moon and get out of the hotel for the night somewhere in a timely manner.

Excursions. We took two excursions from a local curator.
1. Individual (4 people) to the island with turtles and Stone Town. The minibus driver was half an hour late for the departure and 45 minutes late for the departure from the city to the hotel. As a result, we did not end up in the city where we planned. Turtles are impressive. Apparently this is the most memorable episode of the trip. The tour guide Yasha (local) was not up to par.
2. A group (6 people) to the dolphins, to the "disappearing island" to eat seafood and to the monkeys in the forest. The guide turned out to be the same Yasha, but he behaved much better despite the limited Russian and meager knowledge in general. The dolphin tour turned out to be a circus when 15 motorboats explode and rush towards the dolphin's barely visible fin. When the whole pack rushed to the place, the dolphins calmly show up 200 meters away in another place. In other words, a flock of dolphins (6) made fun of us, playfully diving under the boats and calmly moving in an unpredictable direction. True, I did manage to dive at the right time and in the right direction and see the cigars of our smaller brothers floating nearby, who did not pay the slightest attention to us. Lunch was good, fresh lobsters, amazing shrimp, "rubberized" squid with octopus. But we saw the monkeys up close, admired the games of the young. Unexpectedly surprised by the final part of the tour - a hike through the mangroves. A huge ocean bay, shallow, completely covered with mangrove roots that snake everywhere. Tourists pass on top of wooden platforms over a large area, so you walk as if through an enchanted forest - dry and calm. Again: not a single midge and fly.
Food. Breakfasts. Meager: omelettes that are being prepared in front of our eyes, but for which a queue is built for 20-30 minutes. From the rest, muesli, milk, juices, fresh fruit, a few buns, butter. It is not critical for us, but I suspect that many may be dissatisfied. Lunches and dinners are either local fruit from the shops or right there in the restaurant, where they cook delicious food.

Summary. Rest satisfied. I was impressed by the ocean, the beach, the territory of the hotel, the local flavor with the Masai. Generally friendly attitude of the population. We recommend this hotel and the beach for a relaxing and not expensive holiday.
