Pros:

I give it the highest rating and I'd like to give it even more.
The hotel is perfect, very romantic, staff is perfect, kind and very smiling, restaurant is incredible, amazing food, many choices and the place is literally a paradise.
Accommodation is amazing, spacious and it has a very stunning view.
They also have a family of monkeys living behind and it’s very funny to watch them.
They take care of every detail.
My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary, and they made sure everything was perfect.
We went during sea weed season, but it didn't bother us at all; they remove the weed in front of the hotel so we can pass through.
Not to mention that watching the tide is not only beautiful but also very interesting. We can walk for a few minutes and see the sandbanks with a beautiful green and blue sea, one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
A place to return to. Magical!

Cons:

Nothing at all.
Everything was perfect.

A perfect escape
Pros:

We loved our stay at Mahi Mahi; the friendly staff, calm surroundings and quiet rooms were everything we were looking for during our 4-night stay in Zanzibar. The hotel rooms are spacious and clean and the all staff made us feel immediately welcome and at-home. We enjoyed walking along the beach when the tide was out and also swimming in the sea at high tide. The hotel is a perfect place to relax and disconnect. Special thanks to the two lovely receptionists who recommended local tours, booked taxis for us, and even helped us organise an unexpected trip to the local medical centre.

Cons:

The wifi wasn't always very reliable.

Traumhafter Ausblick und ruhige Lage.
Pros:

Das super nette Personal! Der Ausblick und die ruhige Lage. Das Bett war sehr bequem, Moskitonetz intakt und es war immer sauber. Man hat sich durch die Massai sehr sicher gefühlt. Highlight: Affen füttern.

Cons:

Das WLAN war sehr schlecht. Das Essen war etwas teuer.

Great hotel in the most beautiful location
Pros:

A beautiful location if you like clear blue water, minimum of beach sellers and a white sandy beach that is cleared of seaweed everyday by the wonderful hotel staff. When the tide is out there are lots of rock pools teeming with marine life.

Cons:

There was nothing I didn't like

Definitely worth visiting - absolutely stunning :)
Pros:

The reception and restaurant staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, also assisting us with booking a tour. The restaurant staff packed an amazing take away breakfast for us on the last morning. The location, tranquility, views, and general experience of the resort was amazing! It was peaceful, beautiful and private, with a stunning view of the sea and sunrise. The blue monkeys were a lovely added bonus. The safe for our valuables provided peace of mind during our stay.

Cons:

There was very little that we didn't like. Only one incident where the housekeeper came to clean at a different time to what was communicated - this took us by surprise when we returned to the room to find them there.
