    Liked: the rooms have a coastal touch, the pool is awesome. Pool area is amazing, the compound is clean and serene. Absolutely loved that,clean rooms,clean beddings. Location is interior so it's hectic to move around. But I truly had a pleasant stay. I would recommend. My shower had a perfect temperature.

    I only disliked that it was far away from shops and places to buy food but it was wonderful.

    I loved how it was very quiet nature all around and the environment made us feel comfortable. We had so much fun the pool at night is amazing. Im hoping to visit there again next time🩷

    A little bit off the beach and you could be walking around 30 minutes to the beach. A little off the main road to get a tuktuk at the gate. But i still loved how it is secluded. It could be a good thing or a bad thing. I didn't mind the walking at all. If you are getting a chef, get a chef you trust or is trusted by the host. Avoid recommendations from recommendations/subcontracting.

    Great value. A clean and very cool environment with a 24hr swimming pool. Bed has a mosquinet. The staff is very friendly. Engage the staff from day 1 and your stay will be filled with happy faces.

    Lovely gardens in a quiet neighbourhood

    Since the cottages are not screened the mosquito nets need to reach the floor or be able to be tucked under the mattress. Our net needed a fabric extension sewn on the bottom as it was too short too tuck in and the mosquitos feasted.

    I loved the gardens. The kids loved the pool. The bed in the lounge with a mosquito net was a bonus. The staff were helpful. Google Maps took us right to the gate without a problem.

    The peaceful serene setting is beautiful.

    Cycad Palm is a beautiful tropical setting away from any potential noise of any local amenities. Of course, this means to travel to nearby restaurants or bars (in most cases 10-15 minutes away) you need to use local tuk tuk or motorbike services which are readily available. The management are very receptive to any small issues that may occur and the staff very pleasant and helpful. The beach is a ten minute ride or 20 minute walk away.

    Vastly overpriced, in the middle of nowhere, nowhere near Diani beach road. Nothing like pictures. Down dirt track with no bars, restaurants shops. And certainly not safe to walk out at night down until tracks
