What stands out is the locally-sourced cuisine, served in a vibrant dining atmosphere - and the closeness to the Kiwengwa Pongwe Forest makes for an interesting contrast to the beach experience. It's the kind of place that seems ideal for those seeking both tranquility and a touch of local flavor, especially if you are on honeymoon.”
