This eco rretreat has a wonderful location, and the manager Jacob is super helpful as I arrived unannounced to meet up with a sailing crew, and he helped with all our anchoring needs, kept our food in the fridge overnight, and so many other things. The food is great, tell them in advance you will be eating there. The tented rooms are comfortable and so peaceful. There are 2 family cottages, but I didnt see inside of those. It is lovely to stay in the forest, but beware monkey troupes which can overrun the camp at any time. the pool is huge and awesome to cool off

An outstandingly beautiful, quiet and friendly place with great location directly at a marvelous lagoon. The resort has been lovingly renovated end of 2022, and all accomodation is of high quality and new. All was very clean, the staff very friendly and helpful. There is a bar and a restaurant with excellent food. At low tide you can enjoy a walk of several kilometers along the coast through the mangroves, or you can go on a boat trip along a mangrove-cladded river with many birds (including a colony of kingfisher) looking for crocodiles.

A little bit of unspoilt tropical heaven! No mains water hook up to the mainland, meaning no running water, but the bucket shower was fun and fine, in the little private bathroom. Very happy here - would recommend.

Breakfast very good, and every day they change something: base is very good coffee, fruit, honey jam, milk, and one day you have beans cooked in coconut sauce, another day chapati or omelettes, then toasts or sweet rice balls, something typical swahili and we enjoyed a lot. Location is special! Beach just there and a wonderful tropical garden behind. No noise, only birds and peace. No moskitos!!!!

I loved Bottle Cottage! The setting is wonderful - with a large private balcony with water views. And the cottage itself is really gorgeous - uniquely decorated and extremely spacious - the pictures don't do it justice. I especially loved the sea-creature themed bottle windows. I also liked knowing that my stay contributed to Reefolution - an organization that is leading coral reef restoration with the local communities. The Cottage is in the Firely Eco Retreat so you have all the amenities you need - restaurant, large pool - and the staff are so friendly and helpful. For divers and snorkelers, you can catch the boat to the Marine Park right from the jetty in front. I highly recommend this place!

I loved it from the moment I stepped onto the property – it’s located right on the beach! The welcoming and sweet staff made me feel at home right away, and the seafood was absolutely delicious. The art and creative style throughout the place is so unique – I even got to see some of the other rooms, each one colorful and with its own personality. I only wish I had stayed longer, and I’ll definitely be coming back soon

Beautiful and somewhat remote location, it was glorious! The recently renovated rooms are so gorgeous and we really enjoyed our stay. The staff were super friendly, helped me with a birthday cake for my friend, let us use their paddleboards and were just super accommodating. We want to come back already, 1 night was not at all enough!
