Highly recommended place! We had better service than a 5 star hotel in Kenya. The staff was superkind they helped us a lot even they help the fixed our broken car as well. The place was peaceful and you could feel that all the place was for you. This place was not crowded and it was separated from the other guests. The accommodation is perfect for every kind of weather and it was gorgeous. They were collecting fresh flowers from the garden to our table. I also recommend you to order fresh and delicious seafood from Said the chef because he will make you a perfect and private dinner. Actually we decided to go for this accommodation because of the reviews about him, and it was totally worth it. Thank you again

The hosts at Petit Paradise were super accommodating and always quick to respond — usually within an hour. The place is about a 7-minute tuk-tuk ride to the city center, and it’s not expensive at all. I recommend finding one good driver and sticking with them — we used Ahmed Zahor, who was suggested by the hosts and was great. It’s also just a short 7-minute walk to the beach. Beautiful views and overall amazing value for the money!

I recently stayed at this apartment and had a great experience. The location is excellent, situated near the airport, the shopping center, and just a short distance from the beach, making my stay even more enjoyable. The host was incredible and very helpful. The apartment itself is clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. I would highly recommend it.

    Very clean and nice hotel. The garden with the pool is amazing, just a hidden gem. All of the staff is super friendly, a place you just want returning to. The location for us was perfect, a quiet and peaceful area. A tuk tuk should bring you downtown in few minutes at a affordable price.

    The location is perfect, it's meters away from the ocean where you can hear the waves crashing. Francis who manages the property was excellent with his communication, the owner Lucio was extremely hospitable. The housekeeper was super friendly. The decor of the interior and patio was on point to idealist setting of a beach home - modern with eclectic pieces of unusual furniture.
