I just had an very nice stay at Mawimbi Boutique Hotel. The beach was stunning and the staff was friendly and attentive. While the food was generally great, I found the lobster in the pasta a bit chewy, which was a letdown. Overall, it was a paradise experience, waking up to beautiful views and enjoying breakfast on the beach.
