Hôtel à éviter.
Pros:

L’emplacement et rien d’autre.

Cons:

Établissement très dégradé. Pas d’entretien ni de soin. Climatisation capricieuse, qui envoie de la chaleur en pleine nuit ou se vide de son eau. Serviettes de toilettes (1 seule par personnes) sales et tachées. Creux dans le matelas. Douche très désagréable et qui met de l’eau partout dans la salle de bain. Bout de tissus en guise de tapis de bain. Pas de serviettes de piscine car il n’y en avait plus. Piscine trouble. Vaisselle ébréchée. Harcèlement du personnel pour nous vendre des excursions 25% plus cher qu’à l’extérieur. Escaliers hyper dangereux quand on est à l’étage. D’autres hôtels beaucoup mieux et moins chers à proximité.

A szállodát mindenkinek jó szívvel ajánlom.
Pros:

A szállodát mindenkinek jó szívvel ajánlom. Nem új építésű szállás, de ár/érték arányban teljesen megfelelő. A szobák tiszták, a reggeli kiadós (menü választékos) és finom. A szobákban jó lenne, ha lenne hűtőszekrény. A parti étteremben este vacsoráztunk két alkalommal és finomakat ettünk bár lehetettek volna fűszeresebbek is az ételek. Az óceánpart nagyon szép itt. A medence tisztítására talán több figyelmet kellene fordítani. A szálló közelében több kis bolt is található megfizethető árakkal.

Séjour détente à Jambiani
Pros:

Emplacement exceptionnel
Confort et propreté des chambres
Très bon rapport qualité prix
Petit déjeuner copieux

Cons:

Les plats du restaurant pourraient être meilleurs, mais les prix sont raisonnables.
Si le personnel de la réception et de l'entretien des chambres, du gardiennage est top, le personnel du bar/ restaurant est plutôt nonchalant et peu souriant...

pleasant
Pros:

The staff were pleasant and very helpful in resolving any issues.
The building is very nice and the services work very well.

Cons:

The breakfast service could be improved, as the food wasn't served at the right temperature, nor was it served at the same time as the coffee.
One day there was no juice, even though it was listed as available.
It's a very remote area, which makes transportation expensive. The beach is quite unique due to the tides. To access the sea, we had to book a dhow excursion, which was incomplete in terms of time and services.
