The place is breathtaking, perfect meals are served and it’s a perfect getaway for couples looking for pure relaxation and privacy. There is also a sound proofed discotheque, free Wi-Fi and private parking.
Speaking to KT Press, Mustapha Ngoga the receptionist said that the boutique hotel has a lot on the table to offer.
“On Friday and Saturday we have music of all kinds that allows people to relieve their stress, and ladies have special discount on drinks,” he said.
However, during week days the boutique hotel still hosts special events for people after work.
For example, Monday is dedicated to old school music while Tuesday’s are for Reggae and Wednesday’s are for ladies night. There are live performances.
On Thursday, the hotel offers a 20% discount on all local drinks.
