    beachfront location
    quirky monkey
    unreliable wifi

    The beachfront location offers easy access to the sand and a stunning view. The quirky pet monkey added a unique charm, often surprising guests during meals.

    WiFi connection was unreliable at times, and the overall property could be noisy due to nearby village activities. Light sleepers might find disturbances like early morning noise unsettling. The room was cramped without space to hang wet towels or manage toiletries, and air conditioning was necessary due to no open windows, creating some discomfort at night.

    The stunning view from my room was the highlight! 🌊 The food was exceptional, especially the fresh fruits and yummy juices. the side sea view was a letdown when I expected a full ocean view.

    beautiful beach
    attentive staff
    delicious breakfast
    noisy air conditioning

    The Karibu Beach Resort felt like a hidden gem with its beautiful beachfront location. The clear blue waters and stunning white sand drew me in immediately. My room, a Single Room with Sea View, offered picturesque views from the bed. Every detail was considered, and I enjoyed the little touches that made my stay special. The breakfast selection was varied, featuring delicious dishes that set a positive tone for the day. The attentive staff went above and beyond, making sure I felt welcome. While the beach's water levels varied daily, causing some inconvenience in accessing deeper water, it was still more than compensated by the beach's beauty. I loved dining under the stars. it added a magical touch to my evenings. My only note for improvement, ensure air conditioning units are quieter. It interrupted the peaceful ambiance of the resort a bit during the night.

    Amazing sea view and cozy vibes

    We stayed for 5 nights in a double room with a sea view and wow, the sunsets were breathtaking! The staff really took care of us, even asking how we liked our coffee each morning. Enjoyed some tasty cocktails at the bar, even if the WiFi was a bit spotty at times. Totally worth it for the views!

    The beautiful beachfront location provides a peaceful escape. the staff consistently went above-and-beyond to meet our needs. Enjoyed the delicious breakfast and refreshing cocktails while lounging by the pool.

    Though the air conditioning could be quieter, it didn’t overshadow our enjoyable stay.

    Where it excels and where it fails

    The service was undoubtedly top-notch! I was greeted with warm hospitality and enjoyed meals with breathtaking ocean views, made with fresh, local ingredients.

    At times, the noise from the nearby village activities interrupted the tranquil atmosphere experience.

    A Relaxing Retreat with Unique Experiences

    We enjoyed 7 peaceful nights in a pool view room. The unique charm of the resort allowed us to unwind completely. Watching the playful pet monkey added a quirky touch to our meals, although it was a bit of a mischievous companion! Tip, embrace the local vibe and relax on the property.

    nice touch

    The welcome drinks were a nice touch when we arrived and they really set the mood. I loved having breakfast prepared just for us and the fresh, local ingredients made each meal feel special.

    It wasn’t cheap but still acceptable for what we got.

    welcome drinks

    It was just an excellent fit for a short stay in Pongwe with reasonable value. The welcome drinks were a nice touch when we arrived, making us feel right at home. If you enjoy a peaceful spot, try to grab a room with a sea view.

    peaceful stay with minor dining improvements

    The staff were exceptionally attentive, even escorting us to dinner one night which added a personal touch. The serene pool area, paired with a beautiful sea view, created a relaxing atmosphere. We truly enjoyed the magical ambiance of a beachside dinner under the stars, which elevated our dining experience significantly.

    Breakfast options could be more diverse.
