Pros:

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!

Pros:

The food and drink quality for this premium priced resort was pretty bad. The dining area is pretty poorly maintained and the variety and quality of the food is poor. Also when we got back from the resort, I found a cockroach in my bag…

Pros:

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.

Pros:

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.

Pros:

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.

Pros:

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.👍

Great hotel, super friendly staff, stunning setting, great pool, gym and spa. Only disappointment was the size of the room (superior) and the shower installation (rather old).
