Excelente alojamiento. Es muy amplio, con grandes espacios. Enorme cocina muy bien equipada para cocinar. Precioso living abierto y con vista a dunas, rodeado de árboles. El cuarto también es super amplio y fresco. Es un placer dormir y amanecer con el ruido de los pájaros. Cama enorme y con una muy buena mosquitera (la vas a necesitar!!!). Todo el personal fue super amable, en especial Samy y Musne. La ubicación es fuera del casco histórico (5 minutos caminando) y pegado a las dunas de shela. A nosotros nos encantó porque es tranquilo, no escuchas el ruido de la ciudad (o los llamados al rezo musulmán que comienzan 4:30 am jajjaa), pero estás muy próximo. No te pierdas subir las dunas a la hora del amanecer o atardecer, tendrás una hermosa vista de toda la isla. Solo tienes que atravesar algunas casas, saliendo por detrás del hospedaje. No está marcado el camino, pero nosotros llegamos, así que cualquiera puede hacerlo.
Es caro, el alojamiento más caro que pagamos en todo Kenia. Pero es de lo más barato de Shela, lamentablemente todos los alojamientos son carísimos allí. Así que si quieres hospedarte en Shela, tendrás que pagar un poco más de lo nromal. A nosotros nos gustó más para hospedarnos Shela que Lamu. El agua caliente se acaba rápido, supongo que funciona con paneles solares y se comparte con otras unidades. De noche nunca hubo agua caliente, durante el día si. Igual no fue un gran problema porque hace calor, pero es bueno que lo sepas. Hay muchos mosquitos y moscas, pero bueno....parece ser un tema en toda la isla, porque lo sufrimos en todos lados

L’appartamento è curato nei dettagli, spazioso, ben arredato e con cucina attrezzata.
La posizione è molto lontana dal centro di Shela, difficile da trovare con il buio e con una brutta strada per arrivarci. Inoltre è vicino a una discarica di rifiuti che vengono continuamente bruciati e provocano fumi e odori che arrivano in casa! Inoltre l’appartamento si trova all’interno della struttura dove alloggia il personale del Banana House e altri inquilini, e tengono due cani grossi e che possono apparire aggressivi per ragione apparentemente di sicurezza. Ma gli ospiti devono sentirsi tranquilli e sicuri di entrare in casa dal cancello. Invece questi cani sono molto grandi e abbaiano e ti vengono addosso e sembrano aggressivi. Non si può tenere dei cani liberi di quel tipo con degli ospiti. Noi abbiamo dovuto chiamare tutte le sere il facchino affinché li chiudesse nel recinto, alcune volte diceva di farlo ma i cani erano ancora liberi. È una questione di sicurezza e di serenità degli ospiti. Non si può sapere se questi cani non ti facciano del male.

Sammy our support staff member was 100% and contributed to the quality of the experience. The accommodation is spacious basic and clean. The owner has recently acquired the whole property and there are currently renovations on site but did not impact on our stay as we were out most of the day. Felt very safe and well managed. Once the renovations are fully complete this will be a highly sort after venue.
As already mentioned the current renovation works on Site but the accommodation is fully ready and well equipped and clean
