I sat by the lower beach bar for more than 25 minutes before getting any service though there were 4 waiters going back and forth. At last I got a 'samahani sana' and some service.

Would be a pity to see it go down the drain. On a more pleasant note the landscaping and gardens are even more outstanding and well...
