The ‘Nyama-Choma’, where you have the privilege to eat by the pool, specialises in meat, fish and seafood grilled on a roaring charcoal fire.

The ‘Boriti Snack Bar’ (A la carte Restaurant), open during the day, offers a variety of light lunches and local specialities with fast and efficient service.

The Italian Restaurant, open for Dinner only, will take care of this special evening where eating next to the sea is the order of the day!
