Room Tip: Dinner and breakfast are included but not lunch. And this latter is a bit too expensive.

We had a suite room with private pool and sea view. The room was amazing and the staff were very friendly. The hotel facilities are very nice, very clean and very well maintained. They even offer small appetisers at tea time for free. The only points where I see room for improvement are the delivery of the drinks at breakfast and dinner, they could be served faster; and the service at the spa (I booked a manicure and the lady didn’t have the knowledge how to do it). But apart from that we had an amazing stay and enjoyed every second.

The best resort experience ever in my life. I surfed all over the world at high end franchise resorts, however the 3 nights stay at your resorts are the best ever vacation. Everything is topnotch, the staff, the food, the hygine, the facilities, the beach, the pools, the suite and activities. Litreally, everything is more than perfect. The japanese resturant quality is insane and the chef is really professional and very well organized and trained. All the staff in this resort are well way professional and very welcoming. I really enjoyed my stay and definetely i am returning back again as soon as possible. I would never forget this resort experience. Thank you Kwanza Resort for every effort!

Not a 5 star hotel. Looks like construction was finished quickly and cheaply. Fixtures in room are average at best, wires exposed and pencil marks not covered over or erased. Not hot water in as well. Back hotel rooms look like dormitories. Prices are insane for what is offered. 15,000 for Coke Zero? This is not the Four Seasons. They seem to think they are luxury but they are not. If you are looking for an ok place to stay this is fine, but if your expectations are luxury this is not for you.

A lovely resort with friendly staff! The rooms and facilities are very pleasant, practical and clean. The food was of a high standard, albeit the service could be a little slow! The pools are lovely and the access to the sea very welcome.
