Pros:

Tout était vraiment au top, de l’hôtel au service, en passant surtout par le personnel qui est adorable, souriant et toujours aux petits soins.
Nous avons eu la chance de faire connaissance avec le patron, qui est très sympathique.

Nous avons passé un séjour magnifique et nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir !

Cons:

équipement un peu vieux et lit qui fait du bruit

Güzel konum, fiyat ve performans dengeli bir otel, gün batımı harika
Pros:

Tesis iyi bir konumda, fiyat ve performans olarak uyumlu bir otel, çalışanlar her zaman güler yüzlü ve yardımcı.

Cons:

Odamız aile suit deniz manzaralı diye tercih ettik fakat yandaki tesis manzaralı çıktı tabi denizide kısmi olarak görüyordu, odamızın ses yalıtımı iyi değildi ve sürekli ses alıyordu, tesisin önü alçak su zamanında çok kirli oluyor ve maalesef kimsenin temizleme gibi bir derdi yok bu bence tesisin sorumluluğunda olmalı ve her tesis plaj kısmını temizlemeli burda kirlilik dediğim yosun değil tabiki fakat plastik atıkları ve çöp

Amazing staff and perfect location.
Pros:

The rooms are spacious and as advertised. The staff are absolutely superb, so friendly, always smiling and happy to assist with whatever they can. The staff are the best thing about this place and they are a credit to themselves and really made our stay extra special. They are difference makers and we had some lovely chats and interactions with them. The resort itself, has a nice relaxed vibe and in the perfect location with so much to do close by. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Nungwi and should we visit Zanzibar again would stay here for a portion of our trip again. Thank you for making our stay so memorable.

Cons:

The water went off a couple times during our stay which was somewhat expected for Zanzibar. The air con could probably do with being upgraded or fixed as it wasn’t the best at cooling the room as much as we would have wanted, however we are from England and so probably like it cooler than most. It was still comfortable and the fan on the ceiling did help. There was no bin in the room and rubbish was not taken away by the cleaners so perhaps as a little detail this could be improved. The restaurant also seemed to often have a lack of change for even small notes of dollars, and so would often have to wait to get change but this again is a minor thing.

Bene ma non benissimo
Pros:

Personale gentile e disponibile, posizione ottima e dalla nostra camera c’era una splendida vista sull’oceano che regalava dei tramonti mozzafiato

Cons:

Struttura parecchio datata

Opción económica en una zona cara
Pros:

Bien situado en una zona agradable- acceso a la playa - muy limpio - personal muy amable.

Cons:

Está ya un poco anticuado - y comparando con otras zonas de la isla es caro, pero la zona lo es también

Prezzo troppo alto ma soggiorno piacevole
Pros:

La posizione è meravigliosa anche se i lettini sono disposti su una terrazza e per fare il bagno devi scendere delle scalette. Lo staff è gentilissimo e la camera pulita.

Cons:

Sarebbe da manutenere meglio. C’erano canaline rotte con i cavi visibili, la porta del bagno è una porta di alluminio decisamente da cambiare. Il condizionatore era rumorosissimo e anche il letto, ogni volta che si cambiava posizione faceva rumore. I pasti, soprattutto la colazione, da migliorare, magari con qualcosa di più tipico e non solo internazionale. Lavandino di ceramica spaccato da qualcosa che ci è caduto sopra. Fughe della doccia ammuffite, da trattare. Prezzo troppo alto per quello che offre. Ma comunque il soggiorno è stato piacevole.
