I want to congratulate the Chale Island Resort and its team for their impeccable service. Everything was superb. I enjoyed it so much, every day for the past 6 days! Pick up of luggage in a other hotel days before my stay, no problem! Perfect service. Pick up and drop off at the airport, perfectly on time! Service always with a big smile, and always at your service. The room was very clean every day during my stay. Lot's of food or restaurant choice. I enjoyed the wide variety at breakfast. Really an excellent place to rest after an intense safari trip ;-) And what about the views, sunrises, sunsets, you name it, breathtaking... Went diving, so many thanks to my buddy Evans for a great morning of diving around the island... This was the perfect stay to end my adventure in Kenya, a big ASANTE Chale...

是一個獨立的小島上面,漲潮可以坐船過去,退潮可以坐拖拉機過去。房間環境,島上的環境都挺不錯的,需要説的就是酒店上午10點到下午5點是停電的,還有就是島上的手機信號是很差的(幾乎沒有),酒店的wifi信號也不太好,適合想要拋下手機電腦,忘掉工作和其它一切的人。

Beautiful island with great service.We have just spend 4 days at Chale and it exceeded our expectations. We stayed in one of the towers the room was spacious and nicely decorated with huge terrace with sea view...wonderful.Staff was always very helpful and nice. We had a small issue with the airco but it was taken care of immediately even though it was Sunday...thanks to the management for their great attitude and pleasant treatment we greatly appreciated. We can easily recommend Chale for a nice and peaceful stay. Thank you

This is an enchanting, beautiful, friendly, immaculately run boutique, luxury experience. We cannot praise this place too highly. After ten days we feel so relaxed and restored but still would like to stay longer! It represents great value for money also. The two main pools are stunning and the large, white sand beach is clean and well served by the efficient and polite waiting staff. The greatest bonus is that they play NO music by the pools or on the beach and in the restaurants it is only on for lunch and dinner - a low volume, pleasant play list that is unobtrusive. Silence in order to hear the waves and the birds. Bliss. Our cottage was beautifully decorated and housekeeping do a great job each day. The views from every room are gorgeous. The food and drinks are so well thought out and every dish has been delicious, with a lot of variety - vegan, fresh seafood, salad bars, evening BBQs and even pizza. The wine is also very good. There is fishing, kayaking and diving on tap at the on site water sports centre, that is very friendly and well run. The sunset bar out to sea is a wonderful way to end the day here and the spa is excellent also for massages. The local wildlife is well looked after by a conservation project and the eco rating of the hotel is high. For instance, they do not serve lobster currently as stocks are low. They support the local population and Chale village well. How Andrea, who has run this oasis for 19 years, provides such understated but high end attention to detail and lavish hospitality on a small island, that is only reached by boat at high tide, is extraordinary and impressive. Every member of staff has made us so welcome and they all deserve high praise. I needed medication and they had it with me from a pharmacy over an hour away within a few hours. Nothing is too much trouble. To top it all it feels like a big, happy family of a. community.

It was a perfect way to end a safari. Stayed in an ocean view banda for 4 nights. Staff was always helpful and friendly. Steps from the beach. Sometimes preferred to just enjoy the view and privacy from our own patio. I really appreciated and enjoyed the simple quiet around the entire grounds. No loud pumped in music here just the sound of the surf especially at high tide. Approximately 40 minute drive from Ukunda airport.

This is our 4th visit and we just love it. We have always stayed in one of the beach cottages which are excellent. It is immaculately clean, the service is excellent. Food is very varied with a variety of specials in the main restaurant. We love snorkelling and that is really good too. Andrea remains the most hands on Manager I have ever met and this is surely why the standards remain so high. Special thanks to Dave, who runs all things food and drinks, we love the sunset bar. However, all the staff are just brilliant, so friendly and nice. We would love to stay again and if we are on safari this is where we will stay for relaxation at the end.
