    I had an amazing time at this hidden gem in coastal Kenya. The location near the beach was perfect and the ocean view was breathtaking. The staff, especially Celeste, provided excellent customer service. The hotel had a picturesque atmosphere, perfect for a calm and relaxing holiday. The food was delicious and the design of the hotel was great. I would definitely recommend Alawi Boutique Hotel.

    This cozy and stylish boutique hotel, nestled in a secluded area, is the perfect place for a peaceful getaway. the friendly staff goes out of their way to ensure that guests feel welcome and at home. the beautifully decorated rooms are spotlessly clean, with comfortable beds, tasteful decor, and modern amenities. Breakfast is delicious and fresh, with a great range of options. the hotel facilities, including a small sea water pool and nearby beach, offer plenty of opportunities for relaxation and enjoyment.

    Keep in mind that getting to restaurants and activities in the surrounding area may require a bit of travel.

    The food was delicious and the cocktails were well made. The rooms were nicely decorated and clean, and we appreciated the quality linens and towels. The secluded location of the hotel was ideal for some R&R, and the beach provided a nice backdrop for our Xmas festivities.

    The location was too remote for our liking and took some time to get to. the staff wasn't as accommodating as we had hoped, and we had some issues with the quality of service.

    The room was nicely decorated and clean. the beach was stunning with crystal-clear waters and powdery sand. We enjoyed having the privacy of our own beach area.

    The service was terrible, staff members were uninterested and unhelpful. We had to wait long periods of time for anything we requested, and sometimes our requests were ignored altogether.

    We had an amazing stay at this hotel right on the beach. The hotel facilities were great, including a private beach area and pool. Cleanliness was top-notch throughout our stay, with fresh daily fish from the sea available for breakfast.

    Nothing all excellent.
