Fuimos a este hotel por no estar disponible otro de su cadena y la verdad es que fue una oportunidad única e increíble poder estar en esta isla privada convertida en hotel. Todo es fantástico en Bawe y con muchas posibilidades de actividades. Tienen deportes acuáticos, zona de piscina, playa, diferentes restaurantes, centro de submarinismo… Todo el personal es súper amable y atento. No podemos estar más contentos de haber podido ir y ojalá podamos repetir. Teñimos una villa de ensueño con todo tipo de comodidades y espacios.

This is a beautiful island with everything you could ever want to enjoy your stay in Paradise. The staff were so friendly and warm and nothing was too much effort for them. The sunset bar was definitely the highlight of my stay and the perfect place to enjoy an African sunset.

We have celebrated our honeymoon. It is the best place that we have ever been in our lives! The restaurants, the staff, the cleanliness… there is magic in this island! Last but not least, RITHA has been a star for us… ask for her because she is a wonderful worker in this island! She is so so KIND 😍 Thank you RITHA! You will be forever in our hearts! Hope some day we will come back with some kids! 🤗

Unser Aufenthalt auf Bawe Island war einfach traumhaft – wir waren rundum zufrieden! Die Privatinsel beeindruckt mit einer traumhaften Lage, die tatsächlich dem Paradies sehr nahekommt. Unsere Villa war wunderschön, großzügig und makellos sauber – ein perfekter Rückzugsort. Der Service war außergewöhnlich: Das gesamte Personal war unglaublich freundlich, aufmerksam und stets bemüht, uns jeden Wunsch zu erfüllen. Ein besonderer Dank gilt unserem privaten Butler Given, der uns mit viel Herzlichkeit betreut hat. Auch das Sportangebot auf der Insel ist hervorragend – mit Paddle-, Futsal- und Tennisplätzen bleibt man hier auch im Urlaub aktiv. Ein kleiner Kritikpunkt betrifft das Fitnessstudio: Auf der Website wird mit einem voll ausgestatteten Gym geworben, tatsächlich ist die Auswahl an Geräten jedoch sehr begrenzt. Hier haben wir in deutlich günstigeren Hotels schon bessere Ausstattung erlebt – das war etwas enttäuschend. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis für den großartigen Service finden wir zwar hoch, aber insgesamt nachvollziehbar. Allerdings sind die Preise für zusätzliches Essen (bei Halbpension) und Getränke auf der Insel sehr ambitioniert – eine Pizza kostet z. B. 25 Dollar, und auch Getränke liegen preislich deutlich über dem Durchschnitt. Trotzdem war unser Aufenthalt ein echtes Highlight – wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und können Bawe Island uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Incredible! What an excellent island getaway with the most attentive service I’ve ever seen. The food was beyond expectations and their level of service is second to none. We wanted a quiet, relaxing stay and it delivered. The staff were so warm and friendly that it almost felt unreal. The rooms were a constant theme in our photos and the private pool made it such an intimate experience. Highly recommended!
