A little slice of paradise just a few kilometers from Tadjourah. The road to the white sands is well-marked but easily accessible with a suitable vehicle. Once there, tranquility reigns supreme. The staff is discreet and helpful; we were able to store our ice packs in the kitchen refrigerators for the return journey. We went there for my birthday, and my partner had asked if it would be possible to have a cake, which we received! In short, we have stayed at this hotel several times and have never been disappointed by the staff or the services. Our dog has always been welcome. To avoid any surprises upon arrival, simply contact the managers via WhatsApp to book and ask any questions you may have!

(EN) I have never felt so unwelcome in a place. The staff and managers refused to turn on the air conditioning while I was sweating in the room I had paid 33,000 FDJ ($187) for 1 night. We chose the hotel room for comfort (it was my birthday) but camping on the beach would have been more comfortable. They claimed that "others had paid the same price," but I would have preferred to camp next door at Ras Ali. When I made this request, the staff started speaking about me in Somali while I was standing there (and they were surprised to discover I speak that language). In the end they turned it on a while later reluctantly, but for me the disrespect was so much that I can't recommend the place. The beach and coral are amazing but I would rather go somewhere else because of the poor management and lack of respect. (FR) Je ne me suis jamais senti si mal accueille. Le personnel et la direction ont refusé d'allumer la climatisation alors que je transpirais dans la chambre pour laquelle j'avais payé 33 000 FDJ (187 $US) pour une nuit. Nous avions choisi cette chambre d'hôtel pour le confort (c'était mon anniversaire), mais camper sur la plage aurait été plus agréable. Ils ont dit que « d'autres avaient payé le même prix », mais j'aurais préférence camper juste à côté, à Ras Ali. Lorsque j'ai fait cette demande, le personnel s'est mis à parler de moi en Somali alors que j'étais là (et ils ont été surpris d'apprendre que je parlais cette langue). Finally, ils ont allumen la climatisation un peu plus tard, à contrecœur, mais le manque de respect était tel que je ne peux absolument pas recommander cet endroit. La plage et les coraux sont magnifiques, mais je préférais aller ailleurs à cause de la mauvaise gestion et du manque de respect. (SO) I never felt unwelcome.

The beach and coral are stunning but I would rather go elsewhere due to the poor management and lack of respect.

Nice place, better to sleep under the pergola on the beach than the hotel.
