    friendly staff
    crystal-clear beach
    limited family activities

    Staying here was fantastic! After our thrilling safari adventures in Tanzania, this place served as a perfect base for our family to unwind. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the beach was a fine spot to relax with crystal-clear waters.

    My kids wished there were more activities for families as evenings can be a bit slow without much to do.

    kind staff
    well maintained garden

    ideal for exploring zanzibar's natural beauty and vibrant culture

    I loved that the garden was clean and well maintained and the staff was incredibly kind and willing to help with any issues during my stay, making me feel welcomed and at home in this little haven. The proximity to popular attractions like Paradise Lost Zanzibar, which is almost 2 km away, made it easy to wander and experience the local scenery and charm.

    stunning view
    friendly staff

    A perfect chill spot for couples

    So, the view from our suite was just killer, we opened the curtains to this amazing turquoise ocean every morning. Plus, the guys at the bar were really chill, always whipping up these killer cocktails that made our evenings a blast.

    breathtaking view
    fantastic food
    missing amenities
    hygiene concerns
    linen change issues

    The ocean view from the suite was breathtaking, making it the highlight of my stay. The food was fantastic, with grilled fish being a standout, and the staff was attentive and genuinely friendly. However, the absence of a TV or phone in the room was unexpected, and the restaurant could improve food hygiene practices as open containers attracted flies. While there were some small inconveniences, the overall experience was enjoyable and relaxing.

    beachfront villa
    attentive staff
    all-inclusive dining
    ineffective reception
    poor excursion

    The beachfront villa provided stunning views and a cozy space. Loved having private lounge chairs by the beach. The all-inclusive dining offered a fantastic variety of fresh food. Staff were friendly and attentive. Relaxing by the sea felt like paradise. However, the reception staff lacked clarity. they seemed unsure and rarely smiled. They often asked to return later for answers. Also, the excursion office didn’t communicate well. An expected snorkeling trip turned into a long and slow boat ride, disappointing when there was nothing to see. Despite these issues, the wildlife around and the peaceful ambiance made up for it.

    early bar closing

    The views here are breathtaking, especially by the pool! 🌊 Staff made us feel right at home. The only downside was that the food could use a bit more variety.

    ocean view
    air conditioning
    comfortable bed
    leaky shower
    creaky bed

    We stayed in the Bungalow with a Sea View. The room was cozy, and waking up to that ocean view was a total highlight. The bed was comfy enough, but the creaking was a bit annoying at night. Clean towels were provided daily, and the air conditioning worked great. The layout was nothing too fancy, but it had everything we needed for a chill vacation. Just a heads up, the shower could use some work. it leaked a bit and had low water pressure. Overall, it was a decent spot to unwind.

    great cocktails

    Had an awesome time with friends after our safari adventures in Tanzania. We loved the spacious rooms and friendly staff! Don't miss out on the amazing pool bar, it’s perfect for chilling out. Just plan for some average food, but the drinks are great, especially the cocktails.

    beachfront views
    fresh food
    friendly staff
    limited cocktail selection
    confusing all-inclusive

    The beach vibes are unbeatable! Those beachfront views and the scrumptious array of fresh food made every meal feel like a mini celebration. And don’t get me started on the friendly staff. they really know how to make you feel at home!

    The whole ‘premium’ versus ‘regular’ all-inclusive thing was a bit dodgy. If I’m splurging, I’d expect to know about all my cocktail options upfront, not scrambling for a drink on the regular menu.

    A Relaxing Getaway for Couples!

    We enjoyed 6 nights in a Suite Room with a beautiful pool view. The friendly staff made our stay special, always greeting us with warm smiles. Although the food could be more varied, we appreciated the local flavors. Don't miss watching the monkeys frolic around the grounds!
