The swimming pool was clean and excellent, the staff were friendly and helpful, the kitchen for self-cooking was really good, and the owner gave directions when needed, a Maasai guard was welcoming, tortoises were friendly to share fruits with, and a view of the ocean and sunset from the top of the castle was visible.
