Pros:

Very quiet and wonderful resort. Staff very friendly and helpful. Our room service was excellent. Unfortunately, a lot of renovations and construction was taking place during our stay. The monkeys are sometimes very amusing, but their poop is sometimes annoying.

Pros:

Very friendly staff. We had the room that had the patio next to the pool. Very convenient for morning and eveving swimming. We went only once to the larger pools on the property. The Jetty and Mango bars were fun and had very good drinks. Food at the Indian restaurant was fantastic and the best meal we had on the property. Sadly we did not get a chance to try the Italian restaurant. We did not know that it needed a reservation like the Indian restaurant. The snack bar by the Mango bar had good snacks, popcorn, peanuts, hotdogs, etc.

We will be going back again next year.

Pros:

I’ll recommend this place to anyone traveling to Zanzibar. Only suggestion is, the sea view suites look too old. They need to be renovated or upgraded.

Pros:

L’hôtel est vraiment un petit paradis. Le ponton permet d accéder directement à la mer à marée haute et à la plage à marée basse. L hôtel est grand avec ses 2 piscines et permet de ne pas se sentir oppressé. Le personnel est souriant, les repas buffet sont un régal. Attention l hôtel est loin de la ville ce qui ne nous a pas posé de problème. Petit plus, l hôtel est construit autour de la mangrove et abrite une famille de colobes roux qui se promènent quotidiennement à travers les allées.

Retour sur expérience
Pros:

Les moins : Lit peu confortable et douche tiède à froide. Chaude uniquement le matin.
Fortes odeurs dans la salle de douche / canalisations ?
Cuisine aux plats revenant régulièrement, peu de saveur surtout pour les desserts ( Base crème ).
Portes non insonorisées
Beaucoup trop de sollicitations sur la plage et pour des prestations annexes.

Le plus non négligeable : la famille de singes en libertés et un ponton permettant de profiter d’une vue incroyable sur l’océan indien et ses marées.
Personnel très disponible

Autre retour : nous avons adoré prendre des excursions avec un guide local.
En parallèle nous avons loué une voiture à l’hôtel ( attention véhicule obtenu en réserve +++++) mais avons systématiquement été arrêté par la police locale et malgré un permis provisoire tanzanien, il nous a été demandé de l’argent sous prétexte que nous ne respections pas les règles (inventées systématiquement….)

Conclusion mitigée mais un paysage de rêve !

Pros:

This is a fun property with stunning views and a lot to do. I really enjoyed my time here and wished we had had more time. The buffet breakfast and dinners were great and had a lot of variety. The only downfall is that this resort caters to many nationalities that smoke so there are ash trays near almost every single chair. Being from North America, we are not used to being surrounded by cigarette smoke in public places. Other than that, it was great and were greeted at check in by the Red Columbus monkeys running around within inches of us.

Amazing stay with lovely service
Pros:

The hotel service from staff was excellent. Great food choice for vegetarians, lot's of activities during the day and also night programmes arranged. Room's were great. Although hotel was busy there was ample space for all - the two swimming pools and the two bars allowed good space. Above all, the service from the staff was the best.

Super verblijf.
Pros:

Fijne locatie waar de hotelgasten op hun wenken bedient worden. Nederlandse gastenmanager wat ook prettig was.
Het hotel was rustig gelegen. Het eten was uitgebreid en goed.

Ook werd er goed rekening gehouden met covid-maatregels.

Amusing
Pros:

Big resort with really friendly staff. But the place is too bag to cope as soon as more than a couple of people arrive. Check in was a nightmare, no sign of booking despite having received an email asking my time of arrival 3 hours earlier. Room not ready. A/C didn’t work and no Basic amenities in the bathroom. Lighting is also very dingy. The curtains don’t fit the windows. Imagine trying to cover a car windscreen with a hand towel.

food options were limited and service was chaotic but got better through the week. Despite all inclusive, charged for safe, towels and late check out.

Feels like it’s growing and it has potential to be very good. Not quite there yet though.

Location is a bit isolated aswell
