Demani Lodge, Bar & Restaurant

Demani lodge is amazing. Highly recommend this place (I stayed here 2 years ago). The staff is welcoming, the vibe is mellow and it is a perfect place to relax. The rooms are clean and I loved the decor. (We had flower petals on our bed upon arrival). You can walk barefoot (their motto is if you wear shoes you are overdressed) on the sand and hammocks and lounge couches abound. Their food is delicious. You can choose to take tours (Hagi was wonderful organizing our snorkeling) or just relax at the place. No matter what, you will be rejuvenated.

We spent 4 nights at Demani Lodge and truly enjoyed the welcoming staff, clean and calm accommodation, the delicious food and beach nearby. It's a save space also for traveling with kids.

We always love our time at Demani! Best part is the team who make everyone feel super welcome. Food is delicious and great value especially compared to some of the other places in Paje. We also enjoyed the pool a lot and Demani has enough shaded areas to hide from the worst heat! Beach is across the road, not too busy for a quiet dip. Asanteni!

Really nice and friendly staff, always with a smile. Excellent food!!! Once a week they have live African music night

We booked 5 nights here and it was a decent location, the pool looks nice, it's a relaxed environment and the staff were all very friendly. However, we had some issues and management didn't do anything to help. We stayed in one of the newer buildings/huts and they get really hot, even with the cieling fan on. The power went out one night and we woke up in puddles of sweat. We went and found the security asking them to turn the generator on so we could have the fans in our room and they said they'd have to call the owner for permission. The next morning we saw the manager and told her about how hot the room was and she said they were aware how hot the new buildings/huts get and said the older ones were cooler and have a better airflow, but never offered to move us. We had such terrible sleeps there that we ended up booking somewhere else for one of the nights so we could actually sleep through the night and be rested. As for the food, I ordered a chicken Thai noodle dish and it was served with mr noodles instead of Thai noodles and the chicken had lots of chewy and gristle chunks. The smoothies were not very good and the pizzas were hit and miss. You're not allowed to bring food back otherwise they'll charge you for bringing outside food into the lodge. Overall, it's a nice location, but the rooms and food need to be improved and management should be more accommodating when guests bring issues up to them. It seems they're trying to get the most value with the least amount of effort.

I really enjoyed my stay in Demani Lodge.||Everyone is friendly and helpful. The rooms are good, breakfast is good, there is a variety of food you can choose from for lunch/dinner. It all was delicous. Nice pool. Very near the beach, a short walk of 5 minutes and you are there. ||Staying at the Demani Lodge really felt like home staying here. It is like paradise.

Loved this place. Photos can't do justice to how relaxing this hotel is. Only 3 minutes from the beach and close to the center of Paje it offers plenty of restaurants, supermarkets, this place is the right choice to stay. Rooms are individual bungalows, which are all different and very unique. It is very clean and the staff is very friendly. Swimming pool and chilling are a dream come true to relax on your vacation. The food is very affordable, and prices are lower than in hotels on the beach but amazing quality food and a variety of dishes. They also have vegetarian and vegan options. It is definitely value for money and you will not regret staying here.

Exceptionally good place, friendly and service minded staff, very good breakfast and menu. Very clean rooms, superb location, close to the beach!
