Review: The rooms at Leybato are simple and basic but
is more than compensated for by the spectacular views
of the beach. It is as well known for its beach bar
& restaurant as that is how the hotel originally
started. Leybato is ideal for the independent traveller
who seeks a little privacy.
It was established in 1983 by its proprietor
Seikou Demba
and was originally a small beach hut catering to tourists
and over the years became successful accommodation.
It was later named Leybato Bar & Restaurant with
the hotel being added later. It is frequented
by expats and locals alike for its seclusion as it
is not very easy to find or get to.
Directions:
To get there you should enter from Kairaba Avenue heading uphill on a dirt road towards the
beach. When you reach the top of the climb you then
go down veering left when you reach the bottom and
carry on down towards the coast. The rooms a located
within extensive tropical gardens which a dotted with
palms.
