| Message | Rarely on this planet you will find a place like Tamani at Galu Beach. Hugues' and Magdalena's talents for forms, textures and colors is extraordinary, unique and organic. They do what humans did since the beginning of time: create spaces, shelter, create a utopia in some way. The tropical garden embraces you gently, the white beach is open and so vast, one can see as far as Australia! Staying at Monkey Beach House in Tamani feels like being a part of a grand, intelligent and tender artistic creation. Tamani (once known as Galu Sea Lodge) is a time capsule, too: The longer you stay, the younger you'll become!" Hubert Sauper, film director and permanent voyager. |

| Message | We spent 7 days last december in a beautiful beach villa. The maid was very nice and helpful; the chef excellent even with italian dishes. The beach is one of the best in Kenya. Galu sea lodge is the best solution for family holidays. |

| Message | We had a group retreat at Galu Sea Lodge for four days. The experience was awesome. The housing was great, the white sandy beaches are nice and smooth, the water is clear with thriving marine life, the vegetation is bustling with green life, the atmosphere is serene and welcoming. The cooks too do a good job. I must say I plan to go back there again, hopefully, soon. |

| Message | After a long journey from Madrid to Diani Beach, we arrived late at night. There were seven of us and five are Kite Surfers. When we awoke the next morning the sight was wonderful. White sand, huge beach, crystal clear, turquoise waters as we had always dreamed. 700 or 1000 meters out to sea, waves are breaking on the coral reef. We hit the water and the kites for an hour. Good wind. Then breakfast on our big bungalow terrace prepared by the chef, Abdalla, who comes with the rental: Freshly cut fruit, mango, watermelon, banana... coffee, toast ... A short rest, then out with the kites again. The routine is not bad in a place like this: you get up. Browse on the wifi. Eat breakfast. Kite surf. You bathe in the swimming pool or sea. You lie on the beach. You Kite surf. You eat, drink... Hahaha! Laying on the sand at night watching the sky was another great discovery. No light pollution here and so many stars in the Milky Way. One night it was full moon and at 23:00 with the wind blowing about 18 knots, we went sailing. The sea was lit by moonlight but the biggest discovery was the plankton, which lit up a million little fluorescent dots as we cut through the water table. It was incredible. In the mornings, a Fruit Vendor brings us watermelons, mangoes, pawpaw, lettuce, tomatoes and a fishmonger brings lobsters, octopus, king fish, squid, parrot fish. Prices were very affordable: we spent for six to eight euros per day per person and we loved the food made by Abdalla, our cook. The trip was booked through Viajes Kitesurf Travel where Eduardo handled us very well and was attentive until the last moment. Also Hugo, the manager of Galu, behaved beautifully and looked after us so well. It's a great place - go there! |

| Message | Nous sommes aller au Galu Sea lodge pour une semaine en famille (6 adultes et 2 enfants) pendant les fêtes de Noel. Le Galu Sea lodge possède 6 lodges à deux étages avec vue sur la mer . Ces lodges ne sont séparés de la mer que par un jardin avec une piscine sympa lorsque la marée est basee. Il y a aussi des appartements à louer, mais en retrait de la plage (derrière les lodges). Ces lodges sont parfaits pour héberger une famille. Il y a 3 chambres à l'étage, 2 salles de bain et en bas le salon, la cuisine et la salle à manger mais on preferera la terrasse donnant sur le jardin et la mer pour manger. Le mobilier est basique mais cela suffit à passer un séjour très agréable en bord de mer. Pour faire la cuisine et le ménage, le propriétaire (Hugh) engage un cuisinier et une femme de méngae à votre service. Notre cuisinier nous à concocter des plats délicieux, frais et legers, exactement ce qu'il nous fallait (merci swahibou). Pour cela il faut que vous fassiez les courses dans le supermarché de Diani à 10 minutes en taxi. La plage est très belle, sable fin, petit coquillage... Un peu d'algues dans la mer mais rien de très génant. Une très belle idée pour emmener sa famille se prélasser. Attention néammoins, le Galu sea lodge reste un peu loin de Monbassa. Il faut bien 2 heures de voiture en tenant compte du ferry à prendre pour rejoindre l'aéroport. Stayed December 2011, travelled with family |

| Message | Back to London after almost a week in Galu sea. Love, love, love everything about the place. It is divine...the soft white sand, the coconuts, ohhh the coconuts, the colour of the sea, the serenity, and the pure joy of breathing in fresh air. As for the staff, incredibly helpful and accommodating. I will surely go back if only for a second round with the monkeys. |
