Location, scenery & staff.

We couldn't fault anything, everything was brilliant. The GM did everything that he could do possible for us & looked after us as it was our wedding anniversary. It's a quiet resort. The scenery was brilliant & beautiful. It was the right location for us & we were really happy there & had a good time. We had a brilliant send off on our last day with all the staff..

I can’t think of anything I didn’t like

Absolutely beautiful location and I felt like a queen with the 4 poster bed. Eating breakfast whilst looking out at the ocean … it doesn’t get better really

First expression started with staff’s welcoming. The location is superb. There was a rainy day during my stay but i love a unique vibe from the restaurant view. As it is in eastern part of Zanzibar, my very first seeing of Dawn view from the Indian Ocean. I want to come back again. Ciao!

The road to the hotel main gate is rough and not well constructed. There are no WiFi in the rooms. No gift shop.

Pool and view. The full setup was good. The Staff and management were welcoming and friendly and so nice.

Rooms need some modernisation/renovation. They did not give us Ocean view room as they said Booking.com and their booking system had miscommunicated & overbooked. However they did upgrade us to all inclusive as compensation but not very satisfactory as we had booked 4 months in advance.

Stunning views from the hotel. The staff were all amazingly friendly and helpful. The hotel made sure that Xmas Eve and Xmas day were special. The large infinity swimming pool was a bonus as swimming in the sea is very dependent on the tides and the coral reef

Amazing staff that made us feel like home. They went above and beyond for us! The hotel has two beaches and has beautiful surroundings where we could be totally relaxed.

Hotel is overall lacking maintenance. It might have been a 5* hotel 10 years ago, but it is not the case anymore. Food is correct, with a few deceptions. We stayed there 3 nights, but for a longer stay it might get deceiving.

Incredible settings (2 beaches, very big pool) Quiet and close to nature, very retired. Friendly staff, doing its best to cope with situations and ensuring customer satisfaction

The electric kept on tripping out so we kept on waking up sweating. The drinks were served out of warm classes, there was no diet option for drinks. The staff were friendly though, I would definitely say this isn’t a 5* hotel at all. I am currently staying in beach Kendwa by the same chain and this hotel is superior in every way.

1. No Wifi in the rooms 2. Electricity kept going and coming which meant AC in room couldnt work and also there was NO water in the room 3. When we did have water in the room, the shower didn’t work and the water was so so hot that it almost scalded my 2 year old. 4. Not a wide variety of foods compared to other hotels I have been at. 5. We were on all-inclusive plan and they billed me $10 for 2 packets of milk for my kids until I actually told them that was so petty. 6. Fan in the room looks loose and when fan is rotating, it looks like it will fall off. 7. It rained and water came into the room!

The beach

Very big and well maintained

I like their service, like when you have a problem, they serve you at the right time, also the reception received us with great joy

In fact, I'm happy, in general, the workers and the management are good, happy and funny people

The variety and quality of food. After a week, I was certainly tired of the food. Breakfast was literally the same things everyday and was often cold, even though we got there at the start of breakfast times on most days. I personally do not like cats near me when I eat and, sadly, there were two or three cats regularly around us at meal times. I do think that the staff try their best but the overall feeling is of a place that is tired and trying to scrape by?!

This is a place that I have visited twice, the first time 4 years ago and now, recently. The location is beautiful, with cool breezes and a private, hassle free beach, due to the high tides which effectively cut the place off from other nearby areas. The fresh pasta station at meal times is really nice for those who like fresh and hot food.

The air conditioning wasn’t great so the rooms were often hotter inside than out. If you are wanting to explore the island it isn’t the best spot to stay as you have to travel quite far in the car to get everywhere.

The staff were very friendly and accomodating, the food was amazing with always a lot of variety at all meals. Our rooms got cleaned everyday and they helps us organising activities.

That is the best hotel experience in Zanzibar. We are all enjoyed. All of staff are very kindly and the room are very clean. Good viewing in any where. The vegetable and fruit are from own farm.

Nothing at all… I liked everything about the property.

It was awesome stay. The hotel staff is brilliant. and the view is mind blowing. We enjoyed 2 days trip very well…

Stayed in July 2023

The cocktails were standard (the ones we had anyway) strong but not much flavour to them.

When booking the pictures gave us really high expectations and the hotel exceeded them expectations. The view from our room was amazing- the resort itself was gorgeous and had the most amazing view from the massage area of the sunset! Staff went above and beyond to help and were so friendly with my 1 year old it was like visiting family rather than guests in a hotel.

The restaurant quality was very good, however not many choices in the menu for lunch. The dinner is normally a buffet and there is nothing else, so you are 'forced' to eat the buffet as no other options are available and 20 dollars per person is very expensive. There are no other restaurants or markets around, so you'll most probably always stay in the hotel and forced to eat there since no other options available. The staffs are very nice but some of them will be after you to buy things with them like massages and spas (which are also very expensive), and they don't get it when you say NO for a first time. It can be very annoying.

The overall was good and the location was awesome. The view was incredible. This is a very good location for people who wants to be away from crowds and just want a peaceful and relaxing stay.
