Delicious Fresh Food

During my stay at Hakuna Majiwe Beach Lodge in May 2024, I absolutely loved the abundant and delicious meals we enjoyed in the restaurant area. The ocean views while having breakfast and dinner added a wonderful touch to our dining experience. The restaurant's ambiance, with stunning views during the day and beautifully lit up in the evening, made our meals even more enjoyable.

Cozy Beach Bungalow

I had a wonderful time in my beach bungalow at Hakuna Majiwe during my visit in June 2024. The room featured a private terrace with a swing for relaxing and was decorated with beautiful flowers on the bed, making it feel extra special. The spacious layout with a separate luggage area was handy for my belongings, contributing to a comfortable stay.

Relaxing Swimming Pool

One of my favorite parts of Hakuna Majiwe was the large swimming pool area, which I enjoyed during my stay in July 2024. The pool was perfect for relaxation, being shielded from the wind and providing an opportunity to watch beautiful birds and even baboons in a safe distance. It was a fantastic way to cool off after spending time on the beach.

Comfortable and Spacious

In my recent stay at Hakuna Majiwe in August 2024, I found the bedroom to be very comfortable and spacious. The cleanliness of the room was commendable, and it provided a peaceful retreat after enjoying the beautiful beach and surroundings. I appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the mosquito nets over the beds, ensuring a restful night's sleep.

Upon reflection, the hotel was a lovely spot, but it could use some updating in certain areas. The beachfront location is fantastic and the staff are warm and welcoming, but there were issues with room amenities and dining variety. The pool area was pleasant, though I chose to enjoy the beach instead. Overall, it offered decent value for money, but some repairs and improvements could enhance the experience.

I had a truly wonderful experience at this beach resort, nestled right by the ocean. The tranquil atmosphere and stunning views are a major plus. The rooms were clean and provided a touch of comfort, although they could benefit from air conditioning. The service was exceptional and always warm, making us feel at home. The only downside was the lack of additional amenities like a bar at the pool area, which could enhance the overall experience.

The hotel provides a nice seaside getaway in a tranquil area that's perfect for relaxation, yet close enough to enjoy the lively party scene in Paje. While the rooms are basic and could use some updates and amenities, my stay was pleasant overall. The service was commendable, with attentive management and friendly staff.
