“In my opinion, the architecture, drawing from Swahili influences, is a high point, as are the resort's efforts in local education and sustainability. With multiple dining options and a focus on all-inclusive plans, the resort aims for comprehensive convenience. However, reports of inconsistent food labeling for allergies raise serious concerns that prospective guests should consider.”
