The villas are located on the South Coast of Keany at Galu Beach. Galu Beach which is a little bit further south than the famous Diani Beach is very quiet and relaxed. It is probably the most beautiful beach in Kenya as it is not so strongly affected by the tides. Even at low tide you will be able to reach the water. Furthermore there are no big hotels with the exception of Neptune Paradise at this part of the beach. The villas are located among many houses built in the same style. The next restaurant is Tropical Garden former Boko-Boko about 5 minutes by foot. By car it takes about 10 minutes to reach the centre of Diani where you will find supermarkets, travel agents for booking safaris and many hotels, bars and restaurants. To Mombasa town it takes about 1 hour depending on the ferry which you have to take to get there. The nearest National Park is Shimba Hills where you can see elephants and other wildlife. It is also not far to Wasini Island for dolphin watching or to Wazaro Beach

Don't go to this place! I paid in euros

Review Submitted: January 14, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
For the first four days of our trip there was no hot water, and no electric witch meant any hot showers or hot food witch translates into additional cost that could have been avoided if the condition of this property were as stated on your brochure. The place was infested with roaches’ flies, and insects rusted refrigerator, and stoves. After trying for four days to contact the owner when we did they accused me of being there for a few days, and wanting cheaper accommodations we assured the owners that this was not the case we simply wanted what we paid for. After several sms messages we agreed that we would move my family, and I into what we were told were betters quarter, and this was not true this place also was filled with insects, and poisonous centipedes of witch I killed three to protect my four year son. I really think that you need to reconsider representing these people with these five houses. These places are old, and in need of serious renovations, but I will say one think in there favor they do have an incredible staff. These guys did everything in there power to make our stay as presentable as humanly possible.Don't go here there are a lot of great places for euros even dollars, and in better shape.
