i really loved to be in Kendwa in the special for me bungalow place "Les toits de palme". It is a oase of silence between all the noisy hotels. I had my wedding night in one of the rooms and i wrote most part of my Bachelor thesis there. I had a swim with the silver coloured fish around and... More

My friend and I walked the whole length of Kendwa beach to find anything that resembled any sort of backpacker accomodation in Kendwa and this is as good as it got. Obviously Kendwa rocks attracts the numbers but the accomodation isn't as raw and is distanced from the beach. We stayed here for 6 nights and slept in two of... More

I didn't rate this hotel as "terrible" only because of its fantastic location, the facilities were appalling though. Les Toits de Palme would be a fantastic packpackers' paradise, if only the prices reflected what's on offer. But $80 per night is just far too much for what you get. We were meant to stay 9 nights but thankfully we left... More

I only have praise for this last true remaining "backpacker" haunt. Yes the bungalows are basic; in comparison with the other dominating 5 star all-inclusive Hotels. But I would argue that the simplicity of this well organized accommodation adds to the charm. The staff at all levels genuinely cares and I can’t thank them enough for such a warm welcome.... More

The food was good, hot running water in a very clean bathroom. You could even buy some fresh fish on the beach and the cook made it for a very small price! we had a very nice stay here! The staff was very friendly and open for suggestions.

We had booked in this hotel a month before arriving. While we were in our country we gave them a couple of calls just to make sure they still had our reservation. Every time we spoke on the phone they would announce to us that they had changed our room, or that they didnt have a room at this bungalow... More

My husband and I had a really bad experience at the Sunset Bungalow restaurant so we ventured down the beach and had a kind woman advise us to eat here and we are so glad she did!! The food was simply delish! The calamari was my favorite and was served with a hearty portion of rice and a veggie--better yet... More

Unfortunately we have to agree with the other negative reviewer- while the place is beautiful, kind of secluded from the other places and any crowds, the huts are not clean, there were no hot water ad s promised only rats, the breakfast is terrible, the staff is really rude. Honestly we are not very sensitive pple and usually backpacking, but... More

We stayed at Le Toits in December of 2011 after reading the reviews on Trip Advisor and seeing that it offered, what we thought, to be good value for money in an area where accommodation is generally more expensive. We budgeted about USD80 for accommodation per night and planned our holiday accordingly, staying first in the South East part of... More

I'd booked in for 4 nights, stayed an extra night and wish I'd spent my last night there too. I stayed in a bungalow for $60 ($40 for the additional night) per night. The room was nothing special but I didn't spend much time in there because the beach is stunning! The breakfast is simple, fruit, bread and eggs and... More
