Staff were really helpful especially the receptionists. The food was really good and had a wide range of variety. The bars are nice especially jetti bar by the Ocean. Swimming pools are good. Room was good except for the foul smell of humidity. The night entertainment was basic.

This resort is amazing with its meals, pool by the beach, overwater bar and multiple international cuisine. However, it is far and remote so best only by car. I enjoyed my stay though with the blackouts.

What a great experience it was! We felt very welcomed and also felt like VIP’s. All thanks to a beautiful hotel, a beautiful apartment and a very friendly staff. Especially the host, Gawie.

I had a wonderful time at paradise Neach resort! So many lovely people who made my stay special, such as Nathanaeli, Mary, Gladness, Aisha, and MANY other staff members. Martin and Moses, part the Masaai security team, made me feel very welcomed, and engaged with me, enjoyable conversation conversations. The Front Desk always made me feel extremely welcome, and as did any staff who walked around and simply greeted me with Jambo. A big shout out to your executive chef, Lofty, who did an over the top amazing job planning each, and every meal! The best part, he was always there to greet guests as we walked into the Bataar restaurant. As with the other people mentioned, I truly enjoyed conversation with him! He is a gem, and a blessing to all the guests who enjoy his culinary delights!

The resort is really lovely, has everything one could need. The tide needs to be considered as it is not always turquoise water. The food is diverse all the time and really tasty. The staff are absolutely amazing. Always smiling and helpful and so kind. They make this place beautiful and so enjoyable and relaxing. All of them were amazing, Anna and Yanice always doing such a great job with the room and Kyaramary and Kassim being the best and kind companions for a solo traveler. I had such a beautiful time.

Beautiful hotel which was perfect for our honeymoon. All the staff work so hard and are so friendly. Food is lovely and changes regularly, lovely cocktails on the all inclusive. Rooms are large and comfortable. Only draw back is there are lots of locals waiting on the beach to try and sell trips or massages, all are very friendly but you cant use the beach without being constantly disturbed.

Hier is een natuurlijke Engelse vertaling: It was truly fantastic. The room, the pools, the beautiful weather, the day trips — a little paradise. But most of all, we enjoyed the incredibly friendly, enthusiastic, genuinely warm, and lovely people. And Gawie. I already miss you. Thank you for everything. You made the whole experience complete. In the Netherlands, we say: you are the cherry on top of the cake ❤️ Or : you are the icing on the cake ❤️ L
