The pool is great, and the beach area is amazing with breathtaking views and sightseeing. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8aeca0f1-7177-485b-b000-3355d6bb9516-1749827158910.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0b62c427-4c59-4f43-bfdf-490f1185cd60-1749827509876.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7e234e06-ce09-4dd3-85d8-1936b53891e2-1749827510938.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/142cc7a0-55cd-4d44-82e9-bdc90a18fc15-1749827510506.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Manal Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mia Hjorth 22 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hospitality of the staff was so amazing - so welcoming and positive.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Our room service was excellent. Unfortunately, a lot of renovations and construction was taking place during our stay. The monkeys are sometimes very amusing, but their poop is sometimes annoying. ##### Udo Stayed 9 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Toby 16 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very friendly staff. We had the room that had the patio next to the pool. Very convenient for morning and eveving swimming. We went only once to the larger pools on the property. The Jetty and Mango bars were fun and had very good drinks. Food at the Indian restaurant was fantastic and the best meal we had on the property. Sadly we did not get a chance to try the Italian restaurant. We did not know that it needed a reservation like the Indian restaurant. The snack bar by the Mango bar had good snacks, popcorn, peanuts, hotdogs, etc. We will be going back again next year. ##### Toby Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dana 11 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a fun property with stunning views and a lot to do. I really enjoyed my time here and wished we had had more time. The buffet breakfast and dinners were great and had a lot of variety. The only downfall is that this resort caters to many nationalities that smoke so there are ash trays near almost every single chair. Being from North America, we are not used to being surrounded by cigarette smoke in public places. Other than that, it was great and were greeted at check in by the Red Columbus monkeys running around within inches of us. ##### Dana Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### MICHAEL 14 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I’ll recommend this place to anyone traveling to Zanzibar. Only suggestion is, the sea view suites look too old. They need to be renovated or upgraded. ##### MICHAEL Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SANDRINE OLINDA 8 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent ##### SANDRINE OLINDA Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cheryl 20 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff was outstanding very helpful and pleasant. Beautiful warm pool. Nice big rooms. Good food. Beach was disappointing because at low tide water was way way out. Also there was a calander of scheduled activities that was not accurate.

Le ponton permet d accéder directement à la mer à marée haute et à la plage à marée basse. L hôtel est grand avec ses 2 piscines et permet de ne pas se sentir oppressé. Le personnel est souriant, les repas buffet sont un régal. Attention l hôtel est loin de la ville ce qui ne nous a pas posé de problème. Petit plus, l hôtel est construit autour de la mangrove et abrite une famille de colobes roux qui se promènent quotidiennement à travers les allées. ##### Aurore Stayed 10 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### CELINE 1 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Très belle surprise.

Chaude uniquement le matin. Fortes odeurs dans la salle de douche / canalisations ? Cuisine aux plats revenant régulièrement, peu de saveur surtout pour les desserts ( Base crème ). Portes non insonorisées Beaucoup trop de sollicitations sur la plage et pour des prestations annexes. Le plus non négligeable : la famille de singes en libertés et un ponton permettant de profiter d’une vue incroyable sur l’océan indien et ses marées. Personnel très disponible Autre retour : nous avons adoré prendre des excursions avec un guide local. En parallèle nous avons loué une voiture à l’hôtel ( attention véhicule obtenu en réserve +++++) mais avons systématiquement été arrêté par la police locale et malgré un permis provisoire tanzanien, il nous a été demandé de l’argent sous prétexte que nous ne respections pas les règles (inventées systématiquement….) Conclusion mitigée mais un paysage de rêve ! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/31B5677C293176B88BB67025BDC9ABB06D5EECD71694533916464.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Arthur Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fabienne 5 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Die Unterkunft war sehr schön und die Mitarbeiter so freundlich und zuvorkommend, dass der Abschied umso schwerer fiel. ##### Fabienne Stayed 9 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Minesh 21 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing stay with lovely service The hotel service from staff was excellent. Great food choice for vegetarians, lot's of activities during the day and also night programmes arranged. Room's were great. Although hotel was busy there was ample space for all - the two swimming pools and the two bars allowed good space. Above all, the service from the staff was the best. ##### Minesh Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### CCM 30 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Super verblijf.

But the place is too bag to cope as soon as more than a couple of people arrive. Check in was a nightmare, no sign of booking despite having received an email asking my time of arrival 3 hours earlier. Room not ready. A/C didn’t work and no Basic amenities in the bathroom. Lighting is also very dingy. The curtains don’t fit the windows. Imagine trying to cover a car windscreen with a hand towel. food options were limited and service was chaotic but got better through the week. Despite all inclusive, charged for safe, towels and late check out. Feels like it’s growing and it has potential to be very good. Not quite there yet though. Location is a bit isolated aswell ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/831E96D1D2A97FB6F934DD22A3A8DFD5EBFCE6B01623496380797.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Simon Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 22 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wat een super geweldige vakantie hebben we gehad!!

Lets start by saying we enjoyed our stay. The location is fantastic. We booked a Seafront Bungalow that we strongly recommend and not a lot extra. The room was lovely, the location great but it was destinctly rustic and the bathroom was well overdue for a refurb. We loved the Jetty Bar too BUT BUT BUT the hotel was not as described on Hotels.com. They have just opened two new blocks of rooms and are building two blocks more. They have also just finished a huge new swimming pool all done in sandstone (rather odd) and a huge two storey restuarant. It is now firmly a package tour hotel with large numbers of Polish, South African and Dutch customers. Individual bookings are overwhelmed. There is also an entertainment programme which is great if that is what you want but the deafening music on a few evenings and for the pool exercise was very trying. There is an all inclusive offer for US$30 per person per day. Not expensive but not great either. The buffet meals became tedious and rather bland and annoyingly the deserts kept running out. The drinks were all the very cheapest brands - a single cheap beer, cheap Vodka/Rum and an Indian Brandy that you could dissolve bodies in. The Cocktails were clearly made with watered down Vodka/Rum (officially or unofficially??) and tasted of well.... not a lot. The staff are lovely as in so many places in East Africa. We spent most of our time outside our room and enjoyed our stay but we wouldn't go back!! ##### Robert Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 6 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fantastico resort in posizione eccellente, buona cucina, camera spaziosa e pulita ##### Verified traveller Stayed 9 nights in Aug 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 21 Aug 2019 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities The place is nice but the staying was not up to standard.
