    That my stay came to an end😂.... Honestly,i couldnt fault anything.It was worth it all the way

    Very beautiful ambience,right on the beach ...comfortable facilities,private location and the most amazing hospitable staff ....from check-in all the way to house keeping! The staff at Jumbo really care about their guests.No request was a bother...special mention goes to Francis(restaurant/bar) and Mohammed.Wow....i was really touched by the genuineness of the care here. (Francis thank you for the dawa-you made our stay fantastic all of you). World class staff😊.Hospitality was on another level here....you guys have to visit Jumbo and experience it for yourselves! I was there recently and i will definitely be back in future.

    I did not realise how Italian centric it was. Felt a bit left out of the resort entertainment but the staff tried to be as accommodating as possible

    Everything, but more especially the staff. We were treated beyond well.

    Would suggest to improve in the All-Inclusive concept, i.e. very limited drinks.

    1. The staff is so friendly, professional and helpful, deliver a quality customer service, special thanks to Mr. Joseph in the bar and to Mr. William in the restaurant. 2. The facilities are clean and very comfortable. 3. The food was excellent

    The hotel exceeded our expectations in many regards. Mainly the staff was very nice and trying to help you always out. The pearl of this hotel is that the managers/owners were with all the time and had the overview on many things such as food. The food was incredible! I really suggest you come to this place. The beach was also beautiful. You could have a nice swim during high tides as well since the waves in this part of the city are not that high.

    The sellers on the beach were a bit too much trying to sell but the hotel guards were taking care of it. Supermarket and the ATM were far away and the butique at the hotel didn't have many things to offer.

    Very friendly and willing to help staff. Many activities like pool gym, streching, games and beach party. Beach was amazing and not crowded put peaceful and nice sandy.

    A nice place in Jackaranda. Its little out of Watamu, accessible only by dirt-road. But because of this, you are less disturbed by beach-boys. Nice sea and confortable sunbeds. Not crowded at all. Very fair price! Italian managers Angelina and Massimilianl are really open and helpful.

    Despite the fact that we had reservations for 2 beds, they gave us one. After the proceedings, they gave us twin, but it was impossible to live in - there was a smell of paint. The administration refused to acknowledge that we had reservations for twin, despite the fact that this was expressly indicated in the reservation. The correspondence took a long time. Didn't receive any apologies. I don't think I'll ever book this hotel again.

    Reception isn’t welcoming and made mistakes on our payment. One of the beds were not made when we arrived. The beach bar is basic and to have a cocktail I had to go all the way back to the restaurant. At some point we were asked not to take breakfast to the terrace outside the restaurant whereas the terrace was completely empty. It is connected to Jacaranda so we were asked to move our sun beds so as not to take their space. Jacaranda seems to have better facility (e.g., spas, better beach bar). No one helped with luggages when we left despite that we informed them of our departure.

    It’s very close to the sea. There is a manager who provides information on tours and activities so you don’t have to deal with negotiating with the Beach Boys.

    - No phones in the room, have to use my own airtime to call reception so I can get simple things like towels - No hairdryers in the room, and you won’t get one either if you call reception - on the app check in is 5 pm (and so I was told even after messaging to come early) but on location checkin is at 3, so decide which is which

    - Great beach front location - great, pleasant members of staff - good value for money
