Lapili Residence Apartments

So where to begin? We were staying here from 14Dec-12Jan, together with a 2,5 year old and a 5 month old baby. The first impression of the tropical garden with magnificent pool(s), is just a feeling of paradise. The apartments are well equipped for your daily needs: big fridge, cooking abilities, big shower, living room, and private terrace. No tv, what I think is a plus! All the staff are super friendly, especially the Masai guarding the place, our son just loved to play and do crazy with them. The little shop ‘la Bottega’ is really handy for nice quality Italian meats, cheeses, veggies, wines,…ideal for a last minute visit. The village of Cairo itself really gets you to feel the local life. Even though we were a bit everywhere on the island, Kiwengwa boasts one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve seen (less seaweed on the beach). There’s a sandbank just in front of the residence’s beach, where you can walk all the way to the reef at low tide, and turns out beautiful turquoise colours when rising. The water just feels like a warm bath. And being on the east side, you can always rely on the shade of the palm trees when it’s getting real hot. No sunset on the beach, but you can enjoy that on the first floor of ‘La Campannina’ restaurant. I highly recommend their food too. You can even choose for delivery at your appartement, what’s again pretty handy with small kids. We tried to cook as much ourself as possible. You can find everything you need if you go a bit further to the next part of Kiwengwa. Easy with one of the bikes you can use from the residence. We loved our time here and would love to return some day!

I had the most pleasant of stays in this establishment. The staff is very welcoming, beautiful restaurant and food. Stone throw away from the beautiful white sandy beach. Loved it….rooms are clean and spacious

Siamo stati una settimana in dicembre con un bimbo di 4 anni e l'esperienza è stata unica. Il residence è inserito all'interno del contesto locale, in simbiosi con la gente e il villaggio circostante e offre un'esperienza unica per vivere a pieno l'isola. Il contesto è riservato, gli appartamenti sono ampi e puliti giornalmente, lo staff è sempre gentile e premuroso, dagli addetti alle pulizie alla reception. Noi abbiamo usufruito del servizio mezza pensione (colazione alla capannina e cena al breeze) e ci siamo trovati benissimo. La capannina offre un servizio di alto livello e la colazione è fantastica. Al breeze Husein cerca di trasmettere il calore del luogo con piatti locali e di pesce. Consiglio infine le escursioni tramite Salomon (presente all'interno del villaggio), affidabile, organizzato e sempre disponibile a pianificare ogni desiderio. Un grazie a tutte le persone speciali che ci hanno fatto trascorrere una vacanza speciale: Salomon, Daniel Masay, Emanuela, Husein, Maddalena e Diego / Capannina. Ilaria Matteo e Giulio
