A very good hotel. The food was not extraordinary, but it was good, the rooms were clean, close to the beach, I recommend this hotel, we liked it, it is very quiet, perfect for relaxation. The water in the pool is clean. There are a few locals on the beach, they don't bother.

My wife and I had an exceptional stay at AHG Dream's Bay Boutique Hotel, and we are delighted to share our wonderful experience. The hotel is located about an hour's drive from the airport, and while the journey may seem long, it is absolutely worth it. This adults-only boutique hotel is intimate, with a limited number of rooms arranged around a central pool area, offering a peaceful and private atmosphere. We stayed in room B3 on the ground floor and were impressed by the cleanliness and care provided by the housekeeping staff, who visited twice daily—once in the morning and once in the evening around dinnertime. The room’s patio featured two comfortable chairs and a shaded table, perfect for relaxing outdoors. We encountered no issues throughout our stay. We opted for the all-inclusive package, which included breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the hotel’s restaurant, as well as unlimited access to cocktails, soft drinks, and water throughout the day. The dining experience was well-organized: guests choose their meals during the breakfast buffet by filling out a form with three options per course. There was always a vegetarian option, as well as classic dishes like hamburgers (available as beef, fish, or vegetarian) served with fries. The food was consistently tasty and fresh. The staff was exceptional—always kind, attentive, and smiling. While they maintained a relaxed demeanor, they worked tirelessly, particularly during the New Year’s Eve celebrations, which were a highlight of our stay. The event was perfectly executed and filled with joy, thanks to their dedication. A special mention goes to Daniele, the Italian manager of the hotel. He was incredibly helpful and attentive to every guest’s needs, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone. His commitment and passion were evident in every interaction. The hotel opens directly onto a public beach, frequented by locals, including beach boys and Masai selling excursions or souvenirs. While their initial persistence can be a bit overwhelming, a polite "no, thank you" usually suffices to end the interaction. One memorable aspects of our stay was the hotel’s massage service. The masseuse was highly skilled, and the massage bed was located on a sea-facing terrace, offering breathtaking views, the soothing sounds of the ocean, and a constant, refreshing sea breeze that made the experience even more relaxing. On the same terrace, there was also a beautiful relaxation area with double canopy beds, where I enjoyed some of the most peaceful and serene moments of my life. The only downside to the beach is that it’s not ideal for swimming due to the presence of rocks, sea urchins, and low tide in the morning, as well as numerous boats anchored nearby in the afternoon. As a result, we opted to explore other beaches and attractions on the island through excursions. One suggestion for the hotel would be to offer a shuttle service to more swimmable beaches, with scheduled returns for guests. Evenings at the hotel were lively yet never intrusive, thanks to thoughtfully planned activities such as Masai dances, acrobat performances, live music, games, and aperitifs. These events fostered a friendly and social atmosphere, making it easy to connect with fellow guests and enjoy memorable nights. Despite the vibrant evening activities, the hotel was extremely tranquil at night, allowing for restful sleep. One minor inconvenience was the salinity of the tap water in the rooms, which we learned is a widespread issue on the island due to saltwater infiltrating the plumbing systems. While it’s safe for showering and brushing teeth, it’s not suitable for drinking. However, this didn’t significantly affect our stay, as bottled water was always available. Overall, we had an outstanding experience. The hotel’s cozy setup, excellent service, and engaging activities exceeded our expectations. The addition of the massage service and relaxation area was truly the cherry on top, adding a level of luxury and tranquility we didn’t expect. If we have the opportunity, we would absolutely love to return in the future. Highly recommended!
