Decent
Everybody at this hotel is Italian. Also the guards will come up and talk to you all the time when you are trying to read and relax in the beach chairs. Further this area is super touristy and it gets really annoying when everyone is trying to sell you something or trying to get you to take a tour with them.

avoid at all costs...
Avoid at all costs!!! Although I was fretted well at reception I was also greeted by a cockroach running across the floor of my room as soon as I entered... It gets worse. It was late I was tired and given the area immediately outside the hotel it was NOT safe to leave the hotel at night. I had no option but to eat in the hotel 'restaurant', a filthy, barren dull shell. I went directly to to a counter where there was a lonely young waitress. I was immediately greeted again by several cockroaches running across the counter and the waitress before I had a chance to run she opened a menus for me and a large cockroach ran out from it.... What amazed me even more was the fact that the young waitress saw nothing wrong with this!!!! Hotels.com please remove this hotel from your list.

Never felt welcome.
For starters, the hotel is aesthetically lovely, with great restaurant views of the beach and the stunning northern coast of Zanzibar. It is walkable from Kendwa and Nungwi (tide depending) which both have lovely restaurants and have a very relaxing vibe. That is where the positives end. The hotel staff were not welcoming, and especially not caring. One of my friends was electrocuted in her shower. That, as unacceptable as that is, is not it. She went and told the hotel manager about it, and was rudely told without any compassion to go back to her room and wait for someone to come. Noone did. On the second time of asking, she was treated like she was lying. This is not what we expect when we go on holiday. Another problem with the hotel is that it is totally catered for Italians, which if you do not speak the language, leaves it very difficult to enjoy the environment. Music at night and karaoke are not enjoyable when only catered for one language and one nationality, especially in a multi-cultured place such as Zanzibar.

Bugs, broken showers and extra charges
Got there and had to wait an hour to check in. Room was large but mostly empty. lots of bugs in room and bed, broken shower head, power and water shut off a couple times. AC worked well when the electricity wasn't out. When we checked out they wanted an extra 50/night for our third person in our room, which was fine, but said their CC machine was down an could only take cash. There are no atms nearby but they took us to a nearby place that will give you cash on a 10% commission charge. After much arguing the hotel agreed to cover 5% and let us pick up the other 5%. a nice enough place to stay with a great beach, but for the amount they are charging its unacceptable.

Nungwi beach is great for swimming all day long
We went after the hotel reopened for high season so there were several maintenance issues with the property & our room but we weren't bothered because we paid a low season rate. And, while we were there, many of these issues were taken care of as they ramped up operations. The buffets were nice although dinner started late for our toddler so we went next door to the Nungwi Inn & North up the beach to WAVES (our favorite restaurant in Nungwi). The room is large & basic with an air conditioner & fan (both of which we reported needing maintenance after our departure), small refrigerator, good closet/shelf space & a nice quantity of bath towels. The best part is the staff who are all so friendly from housekeeping, to watchmen, to restaurant to pool staff to management and even the PHONE & GO people. This is a hotel frequented by Italians, which we enjoy as Italy is our favorite country to visit. The resort is very large but all the rooms will have an ocean view except for the ones (family rooms) in the back. The restaurant is right over the ocean and you can watch the local fisherman at work during breakfast. There is a fabulous pool and we really enjoyed the delicious Friday night African dinner which was set up around the pool with lovely candle-lit tables and flowers. Improvements would be to have the rooms in tip top shape and a few more beach chairs. We had a lovely time & will return again. Excellent value & amenities for the price we paid.
