"I was pleasantly surprised with this resort. The food at lunch at the beach bar was very good. The room was beautiful and huge. The only thing that was a little lacking was snacks between meals and the fact that it is a little remote but overall everything was great. "

"Everything was very excellent "

"Room was spotless, staff were great especially Rosie and the manager Megan. Location is great, it is set in a quieter part of the island which we loved, the pool is right near the beach so you can enjoy both at once, there is parking if you rent a car and the room are private and really well designed."

"Lovely hotel with a great staff who were friendly and always helpful . The grounds are beautiful, and the restaurant has a great view over the ocean. Would definitely stay here again."

"Fantastic stay in this beautiful boutique hotel in Matemwe! Plus: Amazing ocean view room, great food, amazing staff (everyone is so kind and so nice!), fantastic diving team (be aware that Zanzibar doesn't have big sealife, but the small ones and the sites are beautiful), very relaxing stay, great service overall Cons: the only cons (but I knew that already and this was part of the reasons why I chose this hotel!) is that the hotel is very isolated so if you are looking for a lot to do, this is not the place for you!

"Beautiful property. Great service. Friendly staff. The food and drink prices are higher in this area of the island. The free breakfast was amazing. "

"The staff were very friendly and very helpful. They made my 7 night stay very pleasant and comfortable. This is truly a boutique hotel that pays attention to every detail and every guest. At first the entrance is misleading but as soon as you step inside it is a different story! You get a welcome coconut drink that is super delicious. The pool area and the restaurant is very pretty and is kept very clean. The food is super delicious and they have the best drinks and also mocktails. I had a very good deep tissue massage at the spa also. My room was very spacious with a great view. The bed was super comfortable and they cleaned every day. They even surprised me with a birthday song and a personal cake - getting my birthday from my ID! Now that had never happened in any hotel before! Very special place and I will definitely stay there again. "

"It was a nice and quiet hotel, exactly what we needed for our first few days on Zanzibar. Staff were good and food was lovely. "

"Amazing property. Secluded, with incredible views. With only 17 bungalows, if you want privacy and tranquility this is your place. The food is delicious, the staff accommodating (the dining staff extended lunch time by an hour just to accommodate us). Eclectically cool decor. Affordable luxury... highly recommend"
