+ Blue Moon really went above our expectations and that very much thanks to all the staff! The resort in it self is stunning and located so you really get to relax and enjoy. The jetty was amazing and we spent a lot of time there, but everyone working from the front desk, to resturant, to managers and housekeeping was so warm and welcoming! It really made and impact! It was bittersweet leaving this place, but we will most definitely be back sooner than later.

+ * Access: bumpy road to access the hotel. * Violation of privacy: the general manager entered the room with his own key without knocking / saying hi / saying sorry / saying goodbye, while we were resting in bed. We complained twice at the reception, but received no feedback / apology from the manager. This is clearly unacceptable. * Bathroom: urine smell in the toilets. * Services: no activities proposed.

+ Wunderschönes Resort mit herausragendem Management Unser Aufenthalt im Blue Moon Resort begann leider nicht ganz so positiv, doch das änderte sich schnell, nachdem wir ein Gespräch mit dem jungen und äußerst ehrgeizigen Manager sowie dem Inhaber und seiner Frau führen konnten. Dieses Gespräch bleibt uns in sehr positiver Erinnerung, denn selten haben wir erlebt, dass sich jemand so sehr um die Bedürfnisse der Gäste kümmert. Der Manager zeigt ein beeindruckendes Engagement, und auch die Inhaberfamilie ist äußerst freundlich und macht deutlich, wie sehr ihnen das Resort am Herzen liegt. Wir haben unsere Flitterwochen hier verbracht und uns für das große Zimmer mit Innen- und Außenpool entschieden – eine Wahl, die wir jedem nur empfehlen können. Der Außenpool ist groß und hat die perfekte Tiefe, um sowohl zu entspannen als auch richtig zu schwimmen. Zudem wurde das gesamte Zimmer mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet, was sich unter anderem an der hochwertigen Musikanlage zeigt, die mit mehreren Lautsprechern verbunden ist und für ein tolles Klangerlebnis sorgt. Nach unserem etwas holprigen Start (der mit Mitarbeitern zu tun hatte, die mittlerweile nicht mehr dort arbeiten und daher nicht weiter thematisiert wird) konnten wir unsere Zeit in diesem traumhaft gelegenen Resort in vollen Zügen genießen. Die Kulisse ist atemberaubend, das Essen wird täglich frisch zubereitet und schmeckt hervorragend. Besonders gefallen hat uns das Freizeitangebot mit Jetskis, Kanus und Pedalos.

Relaxing Stay

+ We planned to stay at Blue Moon Resort for three nights but loved it so much that we extended our stay. The staff were friendly, hardworking, and welcoming. Check-in was simple, and we got a tour before heading to our private pool room, which was clean, spacious, and quiet. The pool was surrounded by large palm trees, making it incredibly relaxing to float and watch them sway. The room had a minibar, Netflix, and an Alexa station, and housekeeping cleaned it daily. A couple of minor issues: the wardrobe only had four hangers, which wasn’t enough, and the shower temperature fluctuated between hot and cold every 30 seconds. The restaurant overlooked the sea and served great food. I had local traditional meals, and one night, a BBQ buffet with live music created a lively atmosphere. Breakfast was à la carte, and the vegetarian option was excellent, with fresh avocado, stir-fried vegetables, and pineapple juice. The grounds were well-maintained and peaceful. We loved relaxing on the jetty and swimming in the warm, calm sea. The beach was rocky, but we visited a Maasai shop nearby. Bring cash (USD), as the card machine had issues. My wife had a reasonably priced full-body massage. The dogs and cats were tame, but a monkey on a lead seemed unfairly restricted.
