Delicious Local Cuisine

During my stay, I thoroughly enjoyed the vibrant flavors at the on-site restaurant. The menu featured fresh, local ingredients, contributing to a good dining experience. Although the options were limited, the quality was commendable, making each meal nice, especially the fresh fruit we indulged in daily.

Very nice Ocean Views

I was fortunate to have a room with a stunning ocean view. Each morning, I would wake up to the sight of the tide rolling in and out, an experience that truly made my stay special. The rustic charm of the room added to the cozy atmosphere, making my experience all the more enjoyable.

Relaxing Atmosphere

The lodge offered a beautiful swimming pool area that perfectly complemented the tranquil setting. Although I found the pool slightly cloudy, the relaxing vibes around the pool, along with the swings and hammocks, created a superb environment to unwind after a day of exploration.

This resort offers a fantastic experience with stunning views of the Indian Ocean and a welcoming atmosphere. The beach huts are quirky and provide a unique stay, but there’s no actual beach access; the tides play a significant role. The dining experience is charming, though a bit time-restricted. Overall, it’s a paradise for those looking to relax and connect with nature, but be sure to brace yourself for the salty water!

Staying at this hotel was truly a little piece of paradise! The owner and the staff were incredibly welcoming, and the atmosphere was wonderfully laid-back, making it easy to relax and unwind. The bungalow by the sea was a fantastic treat, providing stunning views and a refreshing ocean breeze. However, the dining experience left something to be desired, with limited food options and inconsistent meal quality. Bring your own snacks for in-between meals, as there's not much available outside of designated meal times.

The hotel offers a beautiful and serene setting perfect for relaxation, with a nice view and a comfortable atmosphere. However, it falls short in terms of food quality and cleanliness, along with some noise issues from the surroundings. The pool, while large, has its own issues, which could be improved. Overall, it has potential but requires significant improvements in various areas.

I had a wonderfully relaxing stay at Promised Land Lodge. The views from my room were absolutely stunning, and the ambiance was incredibly laid-back. The staff were genuinely kind and attentive, while the food was fresh and delicious with a lovely local twist. However, the lack of urban luxuries might not suit everyone, and occasional power outages were a bit of a hiccup during my stay.
