Albatross Ocean View

Beautiful small hotel, large rooms with multiple views, located directly by the sea, nice pool. Nice beach, if you want to do something you need a hire car or private taxi

I really enjoyed my stay at Albatross. My room was very spacious and the view was great! They cleaned the room in a very good way and all of the staff (cleaners, restaurant, reception) was great! The masseuse was actually one of the best I’ve tried. The pool kept very clean. The beach is nice and with the pool I don’t see any problems with the tide making the water go out from the beach for a while. Go to the pool or the pier instead then. It’s a quiet area with not a lot of restaurants more than hotels. All inclusive or full pension is to prefer. The downsides is that I’ve wished for curtains that keeps the light out from the room. You get the morning sun super early and a bit hard to sleep. The people in the bar might need a bartender course… unfortunately the drinks were no good (to have syrup in the bar is an advice for example). But over all I’m very happy with my quiet, peaceful stay and may come back

The hotel was very beautiful with great views of the ocean. The staff was very accomadating. With low tides in the mornings we were able to walk along the beach. This a secluded beach best for couples. Our suite was ocean front with the best views of the ocean

The staff at this hotel is in one word, “awesome .” Frank, Samson, Moses, Johnny, Benjamin, Innocent, Monsli, and housekeeping. Everyone went out of their way to provide the best service. Frank helped me organize tours. I had problems with the safari I booked, but Frank fixed things for me.

Excellent

Staff is amazing and they all go above and beyond to make sure you are pleased.

We spent 5 nights at the Albatross in October. Apparently, this is the low season so they don't have full services in the restaurant. It would have been helpful to have that information indicated on the website in advance for us to make a fully informed decision. The rooms were spacious with a large bed and small table with one chair. The bed was quite hard but we appreciated the mosquito netting and the effort of spraying twice per day to keep the bugs to a minimum. The bathroom was large and they provided shampoo and a hair dryer. There was some nice seating on the patio out front of our room that we utilized and enjoyed. The beach has significant tides which we knew about but when the tide was in it was a great spot for swimming. There was a company on the beach that offered water activities but we just enjoyed relaxing in the water and by the pool. Both had super warm water. The property and grounds are very nice and well maintained. The food was really where we were disappointed. The breakfast buffet had very limited options. We ate there two nights for dinner and found the food to be very basic. Perhaps for families with small children, it would be a good fit. For us, it was very mediocre. The staff were all very sweet and the manager checked in regularly so that was great. They took excellent care of us and bent over backward to make our stay pleasant. The location was nice and we were able to get around to a couple of other restaurants - including the Jetty at the Dongwe Beach Club which served an incredible meal. The 4 stars are really due to the lacklustre food. If eating nice meals isn't a priority for you then this is a great spot to stay.
