Karibu Beach Resort 5 stars

With a bar, the 5-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The accommodation offers evening entertainment and room service. This hotel is just a secret gem. I normally do not write hotel reviews, but we had such an amazing time here, that we have to pay some tribute. The hotel is quite small, with a perfectly sized pool, restaurant and access to the beach (which gets cleaned everyday). Due to the size of the hotel, it gets a unique cozy touch. We loved everything from the food, the pool, rooms, extremely friendly and attentive staff. Rooms are spacious with a nice balcony and modern/stylish interior. There is absolutely nothing negative to say abt this hotel. I will come back!
