Escape to Paradise: Unnamed Property, Naivasha – A Review That’s Actually Real (and Maybe a Little Disorganized)
Okay, so I’ve just stumbled back from Naivasha, Kenya, and I have to tell you guys about this place called “Escape to Paradise: Unnamed Property.” Yep, that’s the actual name. It's like…a riddle wrapped in an enigma, served with a cup of complimentary Kenyan coffee. Let’s see if I can make sense of all this. And let's be honest, after all the travel and everything, I might not. Wish me luck!
First Impressions – It’s a Journey! (and Not Always in the Right Direction)
Accessibility: Getting to the unnamed paradise was an adventure. Seriously, I’m talking pot-holed roads with wandering zebras offering unsolicited roadside assistance (okay, maybe not zebras, but you get the idea). Car park [free of charge]? Absolutely! But it's the kind of free that feels like it should come with hazard pay. Airport transfer is available, which is a HUGE plus, especially after the long flights. But remember, this is Kenya, people, so "transfer" doesn't necessarily mean a sleek Mercedes. Embrace the hustle! For the actual property, I'm gonna be brutally honest: while it's listed as having Facilities for disabled guests, I'm not entirely sure how robust that is. I didn't scope out every single detail.
Check-in/out [express] and Check-in/out [private] are both listed. I opted for private, because, well, who doesn’t want a little extra attention? Let’s just say the staff was lovely but the check-in was…leisurely. "Express" is probably a good option if you're actually in a hurry, although I'm not really sure where that would be!
Cleanliness and Safety – Did I Survive?!
Okay, so, you see all those lists of Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer… and you think, “Okay, this is good.” And honestly? It felt safe. Really safe. I think they take it seriously. They also offered the Room sanitization opt-out available, good for folks a little more relaxed than me, but the room felt spotless. My germaphobe friend would have felt at home. Staff trained in safety protocol, so I'm guessing they actually know what they’re doing.
Rooms – The Good, the Slightly Quirky, and the ‘Wait, What?!’
My room? Pretty decent. Air conditioning (bliss!). A decent desk (because, you know, work never really stops). Free Wi-Fi (Hallelujah! My inner Instagram-addict was ecstatic). Wi-Fi [free] in all rooms! (Double Hallelujah!). The blackout curtains were a godsend for sleeping off jetlag. Additional toilet, Separate shower/bathtub, Hair dryer, complimentary tea and coffee maker*, Free bottled water? All good. Standard stuff.
But here's where it gets interesting. They had a bathroom phone. A bathroom phone. Who are you calling from the bath, and why? I did not ask! I'm happy to report I did not use it.
They had a scale. Which is a blessing and a curse. Be warned.
And the room had a window that opens. A proper one. A real window. Amazing! I took advantage of that, which was great, because they smoke detectors were in place.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – Food, Glorious Food (Sometimes!)
Restaurants (plural!). A la carte in restaurant, Breakfast [buffet], Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Room service [24-hour], Vegetarian restaurant. The options are there.
The buffet breakfast? A delightful carb overload. Think fresh fruit, delicious pastries, and the all-important Kenyan coffee. Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine, I might as well have been in Asia.
The Happy hour at the bar was…well, it was happy. Cheap beers and a view. What more could you want? The food was decent. But I did specifically request, twice, a salad in restaurant and waited a long time while the same waiter asked me what kind I wanted, even though I already told him. Desserts in restaurant, also decent.
Things to Do – Relaxation, Adventure, and the Search for the Perfect Instagram Post
Right, this is where "Escape to Paradise" really shines. And I have to say, it’s the main reason you are there!
Swimming pool! The Swimming pool [outdoor] is magnificent, and the pool with view is probably the best place. You can't help but sink into a state of bliss. I literally spent a whole afternoon just floating, staring at the sky.
Spa and Spa/sauna: Oh, the spa. Now, I am generally not a spa person. Too much scented oil, not enough actual relaxation. But, and this is a big BUT, this spa was special. I got a Body scrub. It was AMAZING. Like, skin-of-a-baby amazing. Then, I stupidly indulged in a Body wrap. And almost fell asleep halfway through. Foot bath, Massage… absolute heaven. And the Sauna? I'm not a sauna convert, but I will admit, it was pretty great!
There's a Fitness center too, if you feel guilty after all the delicious food. I walked to it. I did not use it. Priorities!
Services and Conveniences – The Little Things That Make a Difference
Cash withdrawal, Currency exchange? Handy. Daily housekeeping? Essential. Laundry service, Dry cleaning, and Ironing service? Brilliant, especially if you're like me and pack like you're going to war.
They had an Elevator. Good news!
But what really got me was the incredible staff. Concierge was incredibly helpful with planning excursions and providing tips. Front desk [24-hour] was always there.
For the Kids (and the Big Kids!)
Though this place is mostly a couples’ place, I believe they were Family/child friendly and had some Kids facilities and even a Babysitting service I did not use.
Getting Around – Navigating the Kenyan Landscape
Taxi service, Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site] are available.
My Verdict – Is it Worth It?
Look, "Escape to Paradise: Unnamed Property" is not perfect. It's got its quirks. It lacks a certain polish. But that's also what makes it so wonderful. It's real. It's authentic. It's an escape, alright. An escape from the ordinary, an escape from the stress of everyday life, an escape into a world of beauty, relaxation, and the joy of a good cup of Kenyan coffee.
Here’s the Catch – My Honest Opinion
The biggest thing to know? It’s romantic. Definitely a Proposal spot. They have a Couple's room. Be prepared for serious swooning, if that's your thing.
If you're looking for a sterile, cookie-cutter hotel experience, this isn't it. If you're looking for an adventure, a chance to unwind, a place where you can truly escape, then book it now.
My (Rather Messy) Recommendation?
Escape to Paradise: Unnamed Property is an absolute MUST-VISIT for anyone that can afford it!

Alright, buckle up, buttercups! Because we're not just planning a trip to some fancy-schmancy resort in Naivasha; we're living this itinerary. Expect a healthy dose of chaos, a few meltdowns (hopefully mine, not yours), and enough caffeine to fuel a small rocket. This isn't a polished brochure; it's my personal, beautifully imperfect, and hopefully, slightly hilarious account of a trip to what's supposed to be a chill paradise.
Unnamed Property, Naivasha, Kenya - The "Expect the Unexpected" Itinerary:
Day 1: Arrival and "Oh My God, Lakefront Views!"
Morning (because I'm always late):
- Arrive at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi. (Hopefully, my luggage makes it too. Last time… let's just say I got very familiar with the airport gift shop). The immigration officer did give me a side eye after seeing my overstuffed backpack, but hey, I pack for ANY event.
- Pre-arranged airport transfer to the Unnamed Property, Naivasha. (Fingers crossed no unexpected traffic jams. Nairobi traffic eats souls). Expect a scenic, but bumpy ride. Pack snacks. And maybe a Dramamine.
- Emotional Reaction: The moment I saw the lake from the car I swear, I teared up. That water! The vastness! The way the sun hit it! Oh my god. Pure, unadulterated beauty. Okay, maybe I'm a little dramatic. But after the airport chaos, this was heaven.
Afternoon: Settling In & "Where's the damn Wine?"
- Check-in. Immediately scout the location of the bar. (Priorities, people!) And find the closest place to dump my stuff. Rooms are usually a bit of a surprise - hopefully, it's not too close to the generator again.
- Unpack. Or, in my case, attempt to unpack and immediately re-stuff everything because I can never seem to make a decision about what to wear.
- Quick recon of the property. Lake view! (Check.) Pool? (Check.) Bar? (Double-check!)
- Anecdote: Last time I was at a similar place, I didn't realize the buffet closed at 3pm. I arrived at 3:05, and the chef, who I swear looked like he was about to burst into tears, said I could just have some bread. So, learn from my mistake, check the times of all meals, activities, and anything else that is important.
Evening: Sundowners, Sunset & "Maybe I should order room service…"
- Find a decent spot for sundowners. The sunset is supposed to be legendary here. (Fingers crossed it lives up to the hype.)
- Embrace the magic hour with a drink in hand. (Probably a gin and tonic because, tradition).
- Get ready for dinner. Debating between the restaurant and ordering room service because, let's be honest, I'm already in comfortable pants.
- Quirky Observation: The air smells divine. Like… well, like vacation. And the quiet! Bless the silence, because my brain is usually an obstacle course of random thoughts.
- Rambling Thought: Will I actually relax on this trip? I'm notoriously bad at it. I always feel the need to be doing something. Maybe that's why I needed to get out of the house. Okay, deep breaths, I can do this…
Day 2: "The Boat Ride That Almost Drowned Me (Kidding, Mostly)" & High Tea
Morning: Lake Naivasha Boat Trip (The Thrilling Tale)
- Wake up with a sense of adventure. Or, at least, after hitting snooze three times. Start with a hearty breakfast, because, you know, potential adrenaline.
- The Boat Trip of Death (Again, Kidding): This is what I'm REALLY looking forward to. Boat ride on Lake Naivasha. Supposed to see hippos (from a safe distance, obviously), all sorts of birds, and maybe, just maybe, some of the local wildlife.
- Messy Memory: The boat driver, was such a character. We chatted about everything from the mating habits of African fish eagles to the price of diesel. It was a total blast and made the whole experience more authentic.
- Opinionated Language: That first glimpse of a hippo! Utterly breathtaking. These guys are HUGE and honestly, a little scary. We kept a respectful distance, which was smart. The bird watching was spectacular. I'm no ornithologist, but even I know a flamingo when I see one.
Afternoon: High Tea & "Am I Fancy Now?"
- Back to the property. (Hopefully, I don't fall asleep on the way back from the boat trip, because it's a LONG ride)
- High tea. Because, why not? Little sandwiches, tiny cakes, and maybe some posh tea. (I'm trying to be cultured, okay?)
- Emotional Reaction: Okay, I'm embracing the luxury. The little sandwiches? Adorable. I'm not usually a tea person, but the view from the restaurant is unreal.
- Rambling Thought: Can I actually do all these activities? This is a lot. I need to be in a swimsuit by 5, or I'll feel left out.
Evening: Sunset drinks, Dinner & Casual Conversation:
- Another chance for the legendary sunset. Definitely worth it.
- Eat dinner. The food will be decent, I'm sure.
- Emotional Reaction: This is the life. For now, I am going to live in the luxury.
Day 3: "The Most Chill Morning Ever" & Departure
Morning: The Calm Before the Storm
- Sleep in. Finally! No alarms, no schedules, just sweet, sweet nothingness.
- Have a leisurely breakfast, ideally on the veranda.
- Stroll. Read. Stare at the lake. Do absolutely nothing. (Attempting to embrace the Zen. Fail.)
- Quirky Observation: I'm already starting to plan my next trip. It's the curse of the travel bug.
- Rambling Thought: Is this how people live every day? No responsibilities? Just… peace? (Maybe I should quit my job.)
Afternoon: Departure Time & "Until Next Time, Naivasha…"
- Check out. Say goodbye to the staff. (Hopefully, I didn't make too much of a fool of myself.)
- Transfer back to JKIA. (Traffic gods, please be kind.)
- Emotional Reaction: Sigh of pure contentment. This was exactly what I needed.
- Messy Structure: Arrive at JKIA. Go through all the steps of security and passport control.
- Board the plane. And dream of my next adventure.
- Opinionated Language: Naivasha: you are a gem.
Important Notes (Because I'm Forgetful):
- Pack: Light clothing, sunscreen, insect repellent, a hat, a swimsuit, and an open mind (and a healthy dose of humor).
- Budget: Figure out your spending money.
- Currency: Kenyan Shillings (KES). ATMs are available/
- Electricity: Power outlets are the UK three-pin, so bring an adapter.
- Stay flexible. Things go wrong. Embrace the chaos. Laugh.
And that, my friends, is as close to a structured itinerary as I can get. Expect changes, expect delays, and expect me to get hopelessly lost at least once. But most of all, expect a good time. Cheers to adventure! And hopefully, I'll come back with a story worth telling!

What is the absolute WORST thing about [Topic]?
Oh, man. Where do I even *begin*? Seriously, the absolute worst thing? Okay. Okay, deep breaths. For me… for *me* personally, and I suspect, for a lot of us… it's the tiny, insidious, yet crippling **fear of messing up**. You know the one? That little voice in your head that whispers, "Don't even *try*." Or, even worse, after you *do* try, it's the chorus of "See? I told you!" inside your brain. Like, seriously, I spend half my life afraid of things going south before they even *begin*. It's exhausting. It's paralyzing. And frankly? It makes me want to eat an entire tub of ice cream and binge-watch bad reality TV. Don't judge me!
What's the craziest thing that's ever happened to you related to [Topic]?
Okay, okay, the craziest. There was this *one time* … (deep breath, preparing for a memory dump). I was like, super new to this whole [Topic] thing. Just a complete and utter NOOB. Like, I probably looked like a lost puppy. Anyway, I was trying to like, do *x* and, well, I ended up accidentally doing *y*. And, oh my goodness, the result was a full-blown mess. I'm talking, like, a 'laugh-until-you-cry' kind of mess. I mean, seriously... a disaster! I spent an hour cleaning up the aftermath, and I'm still finding evidence of it. And the worst part? Someone *saw* it. They, bless their cotton socks, laughed. And then, and this is the real kicker and why it's CRAZY, they helped me fix it. They even gave me a helpful tip. I still cringe, and I always remember it when I deal with [Topic].
What's the one piece of advice you'd give to someone just starting out with [Topic]?
Okay, this is crucial. Here's the secret: **Don't be afraid to screw up.** Seriously. Embrace the glorious, messy, often embarrassing process of getting things wrong. It's how you learn. It's how you grow. It's how you become, (dare I say it?) good. Don't aim for perfection! It's a myth. Just. Start. Try. Fail. Learn from it. Repeat. And for the love of all that is holy, don't take yourself too seriously, okay? You'll be alright. I promise. Also, maybe invest in some good coffee. Or wine. Whatever gets you through. Because you’re gonna need it.
What's the biggest misconception people have about [Topic]?
Ugh, the *biggest* misconception? That it's easy. Flat-out WRONG! Okay, maybe it *looks* easy from the outside, like those Instagram gurus who make it seem like a breeze. Pure. Hogwash. The truth is [Topic] almost always involves a lot of time. It almost always involves some form of stress. And yes, you probably have to sacrifice something. It also involves a lot of hidden things you need to consider. It's HARD WORK. It's frustrating. It's… sometimes deeply satisfying. But easy? Nope. Not a chance. So, if you think you can waltz in and master it overnight… you might be disappointed.
What inspires you the most to do [Topic]?
Okay, this one's a bit mushy, so bear with me. What inspires me? Honestly? The *potential*. The possibility. The feeling that I’m *maybe* getting better. That little spark inside that says, "Hey, you know, you *could* actually pull this off." Also, there's the sheer ridiculousness of it all. When I’m stuck, and when the things feel like a slog, I remember the times when I’ve actually… *GOT IT*. The feeling is addictive, I have to admit. That’s what keeps me going.
What are some tools or resources you can't live without for [Topic]?
Alright, let's get practical. Because let's be honest, we all need shortcuts, tools to get around things. First, coffee, lots and lots of coffee. I'm not even kidding. Beyond that... well, it depends. But also, a good notepad and pen. Old school, I know, but something about the act of scribbling things down, brainstorming on paper, it's a good start. Then, there's [Insert Specific Tool 1]. It's not perfect, but it’s a lifesaver. Then, something for [insert specific task]. Lastly? Probably a solid community. Find your tribe, people who 'get' it. Being able to moan about [Topic] with other people using [Topic] gives you something to keep going. That alone is often worth its weight in gold, and sometimes, a whole lot more.
What's your biggest regret related to [Topic]?
Regrets, I've had a few... (singing softly). Okay, seriously, my biggest regret? Not starting sooner. I wasted so much time dithering, doubting and overthinking things. I remember the time when I saw [Something someone else did related to Topic] and thought, "Wow, that seems impossible.". And you know what? It *wasn't*. Not actually impossible. So yeah, my regret isn't the mistakes I made (because those are inevitable), it's the fear that held me back from even trying. Don’t be me, future [Topic] people. Just... start. Today.
What are you most proud of achieving in [Topic]?
Gosh, this is almost embarrassing to admit. I'm not usually one for self-congratulation, but I’m incredibly proud of [insert specific achievement]. It was utterly grueling. Like, blood, sweat, and almost tears grueling. I wanted to give up so many times. There were days I seriously thought I was going to implode from frustration. The feeling of finishing it, of actually reaching the finish line? Pure. Epiphany. That, right there, is what keeps me going back for more.
