    “The location is a bit remote but the hotel is good.”

    The location is remote. The hotel is along the beach. After the sea recedes, the sand on the beach is very soft. By the way, the meals prepared by their restaurant chef are truly good!!! Every meal!! You can order any dish and find it fantastic even if you close your eyes.

    “Good place ”

    Amazing staff and people however, the receptionist was lowkey rude and gave us the wrong room in the beginning and told us we paid less than what we had actually paid when through *** we booked and paid extra for the best room right off the bat. That was very annoying. Later they moved us to the correct room. Then we enjoyed the stay and it's beautiful and restaurant people are sweet too. However they don't give water bottles the next day and charge for water and they can make better cocktails too.. Can also have more vegetarian options for food in the menu Overall still happy and satisfied.

    “Unfortunately Underwhelming ”

    This was the fourth hotel we stayed in during our three weeks in Zanzibar. It was also the most expensive in this hotel range 3/4 stars so our expectations were naturally higher, especially given the photos online. Unfortunately, on arrival we felt a little underwhelmed. Nothing in particular stood out as a highlight—it was all very average. The service was fine; staff were polite, caring, and kind throughout our stay. The pool and grounds were well maintained, and the housekeeping team did a lovely job with the rooms. On the other hand, the food options were very limited, with little that reflected local flavors beyond the ingredients themselves. A small but telling example of the missed opportunities: no fresh drinking water was provided in the room. Guests had to purchase water from the bar or walk to a local market about five minutes away. Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience, but it wasn’t a great one either. For the price point, the resort could offer so much more with some relatively simple improvements.

    Stayed 7 nights in February 2026

    “Unsatisfactory Experience ”

    After having several incidents occuring, from not having a requested taxi waiting for us at 2am in the morning, to being overcharged, provided an incorrect room and lack of respect/professionalism from the staff we ended our stay early. Needless to say we were very let down by the entire experience.
