Piacevole
Pros:

Struttura semplice anche nell'arredamento delle camere. Ottima posizione direttamente sulla spiaggia anche se ci sono troppe barche, per il bagno meglio spostarsi, ombrellone e sdraio inclusi. Piccola piscina all'esterno prima della spiaggia con doccia. Il ristorante ubicato sulla spiaggia molto carino con vari piatti, prezzi nella media del posto, la sera allestiscono tavolini a lume di lanterna. Ottima la colazione a buffet all'ultimo piano con vista mare (ci sono troppi corvi e bisogna stare attenti che non rubino il cibo sul tavolino), molto ricca dal salato (loro pietanze locali dal riso alle verdure) al dolce (non ci sono i cornetti e pane solo in cassetta) e se amate le uova potete chiederle, frutta di solito: ananas, banane piccole e anguria. Personale gentile.

Cons:

La struttura in cemento

Pros:

Неплохое расположение, если не считать, что прямо перед отелем далеко не лучший пляж. Для купания нужно отходить метров на 200 в сторону

Cons:

Если коротко, отель просто не соответствует заявленным 4 *!
Много вещей, которые мне трудно понять. Почему я не могу в номере есть купленные фрукты? Почему не приносить копеечную воду, а вынуждать каждый день выходить в поселок за ней? Почему нужно на все законные пожелания реагировать с третьего раза? Я уж не говорю о том, что отель старый,нуждается в ремонте

Sehr schlechtes Hotel
Pros:

Wir hatten das Hotel gebucht, sind aber nur zwei Zage da geblieben.Eine defekte Klimaanlage, ein minizimmer, das wir nicht gebucht hatten und ein unterirdischen Dreckloch von Hotel!

Cons:

Der Chef an der Rezeption hat uns nach zwei Tagen gesagt, wenn wir bei Booking die Buchung komplett stornieren würden, würde er uns Geld zurück erstatten. Und nur die zwei Tage berechnen die wir vor Ort waren.
Wir hatten im Voraus bezahlt und warten immer noch auf die Erstattung.
Kein feiner Zug!!!

A wonderful stay with friendly people, great service, and a very thoughtful birthday surprise that made the experience t
Pros:

I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The people were very friendly, the food was delicious, and the service was excellent.

A special thank you to the housekeeper who noticed the “Happy Birthday” sign and the balloons and created a beautiful decoration on the bed using towels and balloons. She even wrote “Happy Birthday” with palm leaves. It was a very kind and thoughtful surprise that made my stay even more special.

Cons:

There were a few occasional issues with water and electricity, which I understand is quite normal for this region. The property itself is a bit older, and there were some renovation works happening at the beginning of the stay which caused a little noise and inconvenience, but nothing serious. Overall, it did not affect the experience too much. 🙂

Las mejores vacaciones
Pros:

Las instalaciones son muy confortables, el personal fue muy cortés en todo momento, la comida del restaurante era muy agradable. Tiene una vista increíble, un buffet upp...! buenísimo.

Cons:

Al frente del hotel hay embarcaciones ancladas, lo ideal hubiese sido que no estén para que la vista sea perfecta ese es el pequeño detalle..! Pero lo demás fue increíble

Mocno średnio szczerze mówiąc.
Pros:

Lokalizacja fajna. Woda w łazience ciepła, duże ciśnienie i wifi mocno OK. Ludzie w recepcji bardzo mili. Fajnie, że leżaki przy restauracji, przy samym hotelu są bezpłatne. Do oceanu trzeba się przejść kilkaset metrów po plaży. To nie Nungwi, że wszystko bliziutko, ale spacerki akurat na duży plus :) Bardzo dobre jedzenie w restauracji hotelowej przy plaży!

Cons:

Zupełnie inny niż na zdjęciach. Mocno średnie wrażenia szczerze mówiąc. Wszechobecne poczucie brudu. W łazience toaleta nie przytwierdzona do połogi, cieknąca i śmierdząca. Smród z rur usypiał mnie i budził, co nie było fajne. W umywalce po umyciu rąk, woda stała pół godziny. Na śniadaniu pełno os i kruków... Wielkie, skrzeczące ptaszyska, które wyjadały resztki z talerzy osób, które już zjadły... Creepy! Śniadania na 3 piętrze bez windy, więc dla starszych osób lub rodzin z maluszkami nie polecam. Niby na śniadaniu duży wybór, ale wszystko po Egipsku (jeśli wiesz, co chcę powiedzieć). Generalnie na 8 dni, jedliśmy śniadanie 3 razy, bo lepsze były na mieście. Basen zaniedbany i mało zachęcający. Moje nastoletnie córki nie weszły ani razu przez 8 dni pobytu... Niestety było też mega głośno. Tylko jako baza do wypadów, ale raczej bym nie wrócił. Przykro mi. Muszę napisać szczerze, bo może gdyby ktoś napisał co i jak wcześniej, to wzięlibyśmy inny hotel. Zwłaszcza, że w tej cenie jest duży wybór.

Forferdelig
Pros:

Beliggenheten og noen av de som jobbet der

Cons:

Rommet var forferdelig, det var masse dyr som krøp rundt på rommet, dørene på rommet måtte man bruke makt for og holde oppe, doen var løs, fuger manglet mellom flisene på badet, aircondition bråket veldig, vi fikk utslett på kroppen etter og ha sovet der, frokosten var ikke noe god, lite utvalg og mye fluer og fugler som fløy rundt, noen av de som jobbet der var veldig innpåslitne! Takk gud det bare var 2 netter her!

Pros:

Good location for swimming and activities. The staff are amazing. We were not happy with our room upon check in, it was brought to the attention of the 2 people at the front desk and the operations manager. They did all that they could to ensure that we were happy and comfortable. He even checked up on us during our stay which was much appreciated.

Cons:

Would rate it 3star. Place needs some maintenance.
