Amani Beach Resort

Great property with great views. The rooms are very spacious and clean. The washrooms are also very nice with bathtubs. The swimming pool is also very nice with great views. The staff was very courteous and attentive. The food was good with special mention to wonderful Pizza. The beach is clean and is very well taken care. The only downside is the approach road. The road is literally very difficult to drive on specially if it rains for the cars which are not 4 wheel drives. One have to take help of hotel staff who are kind enough to help, to reach and leave the hotel if you are using a 2 wheel drive vehicle.

There is not one complaint that I can think of. The reservation right down to the food and location, beaches and rooms, service and serenity were to the T. I would recommend this beautiful cozy hidden little haven any day. We didn't want to leave to come home again. The staff made sure we were comfortable and the new Indian cook catered for all our different palates from the adults to the kids. They have a whole bookshelf and games to choose from as well. Special thanks to Hannintone who made sure we had a smooth getaway. We can't wait to visit again. Soon!

This place is truly a hidden gem! The seafront rooms are spacious and offer breathtaking views, plus the beach has crystal clear water. The infinity pool and beach loungers are lovely. However, the restaurant and service staff could use some professional training, as the food was just okay and the staff seemed a bit off. I will definitely return soon. Thank you!

This place is really amazing. Whenever I have family in town we come here. The beach is beautiful and expansive - perfect for long walks and swimming when the tide is high. Nice pool and large clean rooms. And the service is outstanding with friendly staff and management whenever needed. Will continue to come back!

The hard part about this hotel is the journey. The last mile is a dirt road, but the upside is that there is no traffic, no noise. The property is pretty isolated, but on an amazing beach. The rooms are separate bungalows. It is not luxury, with a few needed fixes that Ashray, the manager and his team are working on, but the attentive service and personalized meals made this trip worthwhile. The first few days we had the property to ourselves, except for a few zealous monkeys that would come around the pool and breakfast. We enjoyed the pool next to the beach and the serenity this place provided. Our only issue was the airport taxi driver who insisted on showing up although we canceled our return trip via Ashray. I would advise not catching any taxi from the airport since they colluded and printed a pricesheet showing quadruple the normal taxi prices. Thanks Ashray for dealing with this and for a wonderful, personalized stay.

Positives: Location - Privacy / Secluded - nice clean empty beach to walk in mornings and evenings - although didn't manage to find any snorkelling possibility due to low tide rocks (limited activities options & Cliff walk was not possible due to a stray dog around the resort) Large resort but leading to feelings of not much security - in and outs are random Large bungalow style rooms and good AC / facilities in room (lots of sockets, kettle, small fridge, no power cuts, warm water in shower, massive beds) - all bungalows are sea view and no TV! Some "gems" in the staff which great you with a smile and make you feel welcome Monkey visits provided for fun distraction Negatives: Food - not good value for money, quality average (over oily, although announced grilled most were fried) and mis-charged bill - poor options (would recommend to have seasonal and local food than overpriced "western-catered" food) - feel "forced" to think upfront what to order for the next meal and what time. Fresh Juice was made fresh after asking "outside of menu" - thank you! Average housekeeping (no evening mosquito net preparation - up to you to manage!) and mixed attendance at the restaurants (order confusions) No phone in room to call reception (need multiple back-forth to find attendance)
