Sabrina, the front of house lady was an absolute angel. She could not have done more for us, her gentle and kind personality was so inviting and we thoroughly enjoyed chatting with her and she made us feel so welcome. We booked all our trips through the hotel and we are so glad we did as it was much cheaper this way. The trips were hassle free and well organised, we are grateful to the hotel as we definitely would not have done such a fantastic job if we had been planning the trips ourselves! Sabrina organised very well priced taxis for us, and ensured we were well looked after even when out of the hotel. The location is very good, very close to the beach and the sea water pool was fabulous. The food in the villa was absolutely gorgeous and extremely well priced. The other staff members were also just as welcoming and friendly and the rooms were extremely clean and well equipped with all you may need. I could not recommend this villa more than enough, it truly felt like a home away from home. 10/10!!!

This was our second stay at Boutique Villa Unaweza, and it was just as wonderful as the first! The entire property is beautifully designed and stylish, with every detail thoughtfully planned. The staff, from the restaurant team to the cleaning ladies, were all incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful, making us feel truly welcome. One of the special touches we loved was the yoga classes, which are a perfect way to unwind, and the occasional live music nights in the restaurant, adding a delightful atmosphere to the evenings. The rooms are spacious, impeccably clean, and designed for ultimate relaxation. The hotel is just a few steps from a stunning beach, ideal for peaceful morning walks. This time, we traveled with a rental car, and the secure parking made everything very convenient. The hotel itself feels incredibly safe, and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. For instance, our flight was in the evening, and they kindly allowed us to keep our room a little longer, which was such a thoughtful gesture. This is without a doubt one of the best places to stay when visiting this beautiful island!

We had a really nice time at Mohammed’s hotel. The beach was super close, the staff was really friendly, and the food was yummy. There was a cool upper place where you could do yoga or work and see the sea. We had so much fun! We could relax and enjoy the sunshine. This place is great for families.

The breakfast was delicious. There was many options to choose from and the home made bread was not to miss. Paulette was so generous she prepared baguettes especially for us to take home when we were leaving... plus her famous Belgian waffles. The staff was very friendly and always ready to help.The room was spacious and clean with a huge terrace and beautiful view from the Indian ocean. There were sun beds on the terrace and a sofa . The bed was comfortable and the shower strong and pleasant. What we liked most was the dinner time around the table with the other guests of the hotel with Paullette's delicious meals, the talks and the stories we shared with the other guests and the host Paullette. We felt like home away from home.

Absolutely adored Tamani Villas. The property itself was lovely, clean and spacious. We really enjoyed the selection that they put on for breakfast each morning (really wish I'd got a picture) and we enjoyed two beach front dinners which were nothing less than feasts. The staff were all extremely helpful, Mohamed spent a long time making recommendations and arrangements for our trip to ensure that we had the best visit, he even organised the transfer from the airport to the first hotel we stayed at before arriving at the villa. The security outside the property was unobtrusive but reassuring. It wasn't peak season when we were there so it was a little difficult to find many places to eat nearby but we did find a few and we even walked into the town to buy a few things on our last night. During our stay we were very well looked after by Rashid and the rest of the team who really made our trip. Rashid even arranged for a local dive instructor to visit the villa and arrange a scuba dive nearby, just fantastic.

A must visit! We ended up at Garden Beach Villas by coincidence after having another accommodation in the area cancelled. We did not expect a lot and were nicely surprised. Our stay was at the small villa which is comprised of great sized bathroom, clean bedroom and large living room area connected with kitchen which, despite being quite basic, is equipped with pretty much everything you need. The outdoor area is of a great size with chairs and a sunlounger - overlooking the beautifully cared for garden which offers direct access to calm and relaxing beach. Our breakfast was served on time and always fresh- we had fresh juice, fruit, pancakes, eggs and bread available. The staff was exceptional-smiley and welcoming always available to help with anything we needed. We were also joined by a family of cats and kittens that made our stay that much more enjoyable. Overall we loved our stay here and would like to thank the team (especially Mati) for making our stay feel like home away from home.

This is a fantastic beachfront. Not like all the others who say seafront and in reality it is not. Ask carefully before booking. We have found a wonderful location, a beautiful new villa, with all the comforts and a very kind staff at our disposal. Impossible to find fault. The breakfast prepared directly by the "Mami" of the house was perfect: plate of fresh fruit, chapatis (like local wraps) or brioches or pancakes with various syrups as a top.
