The staff was amazing and a delight to interact with; however, the facility could use some major upgrades. The owners should invest more into the facilities.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Just arrived back in cold Denmark - After have stayed at this fantastic UHURU Beach for 2 weeks, everything was exactly as expected. The entire staff, from the maids, waiters, receptionists, to the management, went out of their way to ensure we had a great holiday and we did. The hotel is fantastic, authentic, cosy, everything was nice and clean. The only thing that went a little against was the ugly green plastic sign that hung in the restaurant, it simply didn't fit in. so 5 out of 5 stars from here :) my warmest recommendations
