Hotel was lovely with delicious food and a really nice area to lie out in the sun. The owners could not have been more helpful. Would highly recommend Visiwa Beach Resort.

We absolutely loved the place! It is a truly peaceful place where you can be completely free and enjoy your time. It is covered in the jungle garden giving a great connection to nature - monkeys are jumping around the trees, lizards running around, and butterflies landing on the flowers. Direct beach access, a nice refreshing pool under the canopy, plenty of secluded places to chill in hammocks and sunbeds. Very family-friendly. Fantastic hosts and good rooms with AC. It is a windsurfing beach and no beach boys are harassing you. We loved every minute of our stay and will try to visit again.

Our stay was very safe, comfortable and pleasant. Ash is a the host ever, he provided very detailed instructions and recommendation, we had everything we need. The house is very big and it is with personal touch which is always an advantage. You have all the shops and facilities you need just within walking distance. The Italian restaurant Papa Remo is quite good and has a beautiful sea view. The area is quite and safe

What an absolute gem! If you are lucky enough to find availability at Beba’s gorgeous beach house, don’t hesitate. It is absolutely wonderful - a real quality home, full of love and care and the most amazing staff. Beba is often around to check in, with her adorable two dogs, but if she’s not there, the staff are always ready to help with anything you need. Breakfast is plentiful and delicious and the chef James is brilliant and makes great dinner dishes if you decide to stay in, definitely worth it! Snacks and lunch, plus a wide selection of drinks are available to order. It’s in an incredible location just a few steps from the beach, gorgeous rooms (especially upstairs with its own wonderful shady and cool terrace), fabulous food and plenty to see and do. The walks out to the sandbanks at low tide are incredible- and high tide brings swimming, kite surfing, and plenty of action. There are some beach bars and restaurants nearby (you can hear music after 10am but it’s off by 10pm) and then it’s blissfully quiet.

The apartment has a/c and fans in all the bedrooms. The location is excellent, right near a little cove and easy walks to two beautiful white sandy beaches on either side. The view of the ocean is amazing, and we even got to see dolphins coming by. The staff are all friendly and very helpful. The kitchen is so well stocked that there is nothing you can't find for cooking up a great meal. The decor is tasteful and well maintained. The beds are comfortable, and the linens are clean and fresh. The towels provided for the bathroom are lovely and big, very clean again. Maggie, the housekeeper, is brilliant and can help with lots of things from shopping to helping find local excursions. The pool is nice and big. Lots of sunbeds around the pool. This is our second time here, and we felt like it was a home from home. We will definitely be back again.
