A very quiet location with a beautiful view of the sea and a lovely walk way to another bar. All staff were fantastic ans very helpful, cheerful and willing to help. (Even joing in our game of table football)! Good variety of food and drink each day. Horseriding, mini golf, table tennis, pool, darts and tennis available. The beach near the pizza shack needs sorting out though, just clear up the rubbish and old seaweed -It could be a beautiful spot!

It is OK if you want to just relax and it is close to the ferry terminal, compared to other hotels. But I would say, there is no beach for you to enjoy at all. I won't come back here next time I travel to Zanzibar.

The spa services was excellent the food was Good, Room was ok amd so generally all the services were up to the expectations execpt for the fact that they don't have mobile money payment method which is very convenient especially on holidays and weekends..what if the one looses his or her Atm card but has money on their mobile app. They need to have a mobile money payment method for convenience. 7 out of 10.👍

2/10 Poor

The property was on a cliff by the ocean, very scenic! The management and staff were rude, disrespectful, and thoughtless. Traveled on my husband’s birthday and check in took over an hour as they couldn’t locate the expedia booking. Did nothing special for the husband’s birthday, even on request. Meanwhile the airport hotel we stayed at night before noticed that the husband was traveling on bday and surprised us with a song for him next morning. Beds were uncomfortable and creeky and real bad pillows. Stray cats all over the property.

6/10 Good

Pros: nice grounds on the property, lush and green, nice room with ocean view and soaking tub, delicious menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner, spa services have affordable prices and Lucy gave a fantastic deep tissue massage and the plunge pool was in a nice quiet area. Cons: not a swimmable beach, pool hours 7am-7pm and inconsistent service during meal time. Consistently waiting over 15 minutes for silverware and drink orders and not clearing plates. This was frustrating, especially when it was not during busy hours.

Not worthy of its 5 star rating.

The outdoors area of the hotel is fantastic. The plants are green and taken care of, the pool is nice and the view is great! The range of activities was also good. However, we were extremely disappointed by our room. Extremely outdated and is in dire need of a renovation (the showers and taps were almost unusable, the toilet still has the old pumping system, and we had a sewage smell in the bathroom). The food was also mediocre. Additionally, it's been a while since I've seen 'towel cards' in a 5 star hotel. Other comments complained about the service, but we had no issues at all. All in all, not worthy of its 5 star rating unfortunately.

Très jolie hôtel cependant il n’y as pas de plage , les repas sont bons et variés . Nous sommes déçus car nous avions prévenus l’hôtel que le Check in se fera tôt ils ont pris en compte notre par mail mais arrivé là bas ils nous ont fais attendre de 8h30 du matin à 13h sur un canapé. A savoir aussi que personne ne parle français .
