“Hakuna Matata Boutique strikes me as a particularly well-managed place in Paje, judging from its repeat guests and consistently clean, comfortable rooms. Its proximity to the beach, combined with that attentive staff, creates an inviting atmosphere. The breakfast alone seems a cut above what you often find.”
