Good location. Don't use their taxi driver Mr Fantastic or whatever his name is, to go to Stone Town as he charged me more than originally quoted at the hotel. ##### Troy Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Niamh 31 May 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were super friendly. They spent between 45 minutes to 1 hour cleaning our room each day. They would fold our clothes in the wardrobe, line up our shoes and toiletries. I have never experienced cleaning to such depth 10/10\. Pool was lovely and it was safe and quiet. Staff genuinely could not do enough. If you are half board food is a set menu for dinner. Only criticism would be sometimes the water would go off for a short period of time. There were the odd power cuts for a few seconds at a time. ##### Niamh Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Andy 25 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities room was very neat and nice with a big bed . Breakfast was not good . Cleaning service was good . area around the pool could be improved . ##### Andy ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer 22 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ok but too quiet for me The resort itself was very nice. However the rooms were a bit unmodern, very bad lightning in bathroom, but comfy bed. Super friendly staff. But way too quiet for us, no music by pool. Food was ok, we didn’t have all inclusive. Still gives you a very authentic experience from their old school stove & grill station. Happy overall but I prefer a bit more modern and energetic place ##### Jennifer Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann 14 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The accomodation in small villas was very nice. The pool was adequate. The property has lovely comfortable lounge chairs and tables located conveniently around the property. You have to go down steps to the beach but at low tide it was very nice. Captain Big Fish, who was strolling around the property, arranged a fabulous sunset dhow cruise for us at a very reasonable price. A variety of restaurants are nearby along the beach. The only complaint I have is breakfast. Not great food and not much variety. ##### Ann Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Beate 19 Sept 2023 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hotel review 09/23- Overall the hotel was tired and not up to date. The rooms was ok. The location was next to the beach with a nice private sunbathing area. The breakfast was not up to standard except for the egg station. Lack of fruits and always cold coffee. The Hotel should inform the guest about their non alcohol policy, was a big surprise and this tourist site! Recommens the hotel next door offered very good service, excellent food and drinks for tourists. ##### Beate Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Peter 5 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A grumpy guy at the reception. The guard tried to refuse my girlfriend to enter after dinner one day, we went in anyway. The guard came with a person from the reception, who was screaming "she must leave now". No, we came together a few days ago and we will leave together. I showed him her cloth and her passport from the safe. So instead of looking in the register in the reception the guy came to harass my girlfriend. They went away without any apology. The place is halal, so no beer or wine if you fancy that with your food. Or not liking the way the animals are killed to be halal. No animation team. Very nice and thorough cleaning staff. The beach in front is very nice. A cracked speaker during breakfast, high volume, you want to leave the place asap. ##### Peter Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marit 5 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very good service and clean!
