Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the beach was stunningly beautiful and I appreciated the clean environment, I found the service and dining lacking, especially for the price paid. The rooms were decent, but I felt that overall, it did not offer good value for money.
Villa Kiva is an enchanting retreat perfect for relaxation, with a lovely beach just steps away. The rooms are charming and well cared for, and the atmosphere feels very private. However, communication from the hotel could be more reliable, and there were occasional disruptions from beach vendors. Overall, it offers solid value for a peaceful getaway.
We had a delightful stay at Villa Kiva, where the picturesque beach was just steps away, making it the perfect spot to unwind. The room was charming and well-kept, though we did notice a slight drainage issue at times. The staff were incredibly helpful, and the on-site dining options were mostly enjoyable, albeit the service could take some time. Overall, this boutique hotel provided a tranquil escape with a few minor hiccups.
Villa Kiva truly was a slice of paradise! The staff, especially Nuhu, made our stay unforgettable with their warmth and attentiveness. The food was exceptional, and the ambiance by the pool was perfect for relaxation. However, there are some areas for improvement, such as the limited menu options during our stay and the condition of some beach amenities.
Villa Kiva is an absolute gem for those looking to unwind after a long journey. The beautiful setting, well-maintained gardens, and spacious rooms really enhanced our stay. Although the dining experience fell a bit short compared to nearby options, the overall ambiance and attentive service made up for it. I would highly recommend this place and would definitely come back!
