Njaya Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"As previous reviews indicate, this is a wonderful setting, rivalling a Greek Island or even the Amalfi Coast in Italy. Beautiful view and accommodations. Very warm and friendly staff. Good food with many choices. Good hot water even with Solar. Would have liked internet access in the room and perhaps a little more attention to timely food delivery. We had a delightful stay!"
