Если без ожиданий, то вполне ок )
Pros:

Хороший пляж, классная локация, в целом всегда можно найти лежаки. В ресторане вкусно; достаточно быстро приносят заказы. Персонал в барах отзывчивый ) атмосфера дружелюбная в целом

Cons:

Мы жили в бунгало у пляжа. Номера скудно оформлены, темные - классно было бы добавить свет, душно, тк кондиционер работает еле-еле, хотя стоял на минимум - 16 градусов и на холод. Также при заселении кондиционер тек, сейф не работал, заселение задержали на 40 минут… poly poly )) позвонили на ресепшен, все решили. Полотенца в номере только большие для тела, маленьких нет. Розетки далеко от кровати, не очень удобно заряжать телефоны. Завтраки очень посредственные. На ресепшен как будто одолжение на все делают )

Wonderful location but be aware it is a tourist hotspot so very crowded
Pros:

The hotel is set on the wonderful sandy Kendwa Beach,
Swimming in the warm clean sea was lovely. The rooms are spacious with huge beds and good bathrooms overlooking the lovely palms and well kept gardens.

Cons:

The downside was to discover that it was full of package tours from Serbia and Russia which made every meal time a scrum with so many people. They also dominated the pool and sunbeds. It was just far too crowded which was a shame. You also get hassled by the locals on the beach which is a constant bore.

Pleasant relax and swimming
Pros:

Excellent position, the best beach of Zanzibar, ideal for swimming, quite clean (less weeds higher low tide than in almost all beaches of the island). The sunbeds very close to the sea. Very helpful and kind staff. The breakfast was very good. Excellent price-quality ratio.

Cons:

The rooms need renovation. Few space for clothes, actually for anything. Now hand (small) towel (I have never experienced something like that !?!). Not very clear information about room categories and respective prices. But anyway very recomendable because of the positive things.

Buradan yemekli rezervasyon yaparsanız paranızı çöpe atarsınız
Pros:

Tesisin konumu güzel. Buradaki plaj gerçekten keyifli.

Cons:

Yemekler ne yazık ki çok kötü, lezzetsiz ve pahalı. Çalışanlar ilgisiz, bıkkın ve çok çok yavaş. Verdiğimiz sipariş unutuldu tekrar söyleyip çok uzun süre beklememiz gerekti. Odalarda elektrik kesintisi sebebiyle klima devamlı çalışmadı. Sıcaktan uyuyamadık. Odalarda yeterince ilaçlama yapılmıyor hala böcekler oluyor. Kıyafetlerimizi ücretli laundrye verdik geri geldiklerinde hala kirlilerdi.

Posizione fantastica.
Pros:

La vicinanza del mare. La cena africana il mercoledì. Il personale.

Cons:

Camere datate, mancano armadi e cassetti, ci vorrebbe una ristrutturazione.
La sera dopo cena non c’è un minimo di ambiente con un po’ di musica.

We had a wonderful stay and would love to come back again. 😊
Pros:

We had a truly wonderful stay at this hotel. The beach lounge is absolutely beautiful and such a peaceful place to relax. The breakfast was fantastic with great variety, especially the egg station and the fresh fruits. Our room was very comfortable, and we loved the large space in front of our balcony — it made the stay feel even more special. We also had dinner at the hotel several times, and the food was always incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. We really enjoyed every moment of our stay and would love to come back again. 😊

Cons:

On the first night of our arrival, we were given a room with a wall view, even though our booking was for a garden and sea view. We were quite disappointed. The staff apologized and promised to change the room the next day, and thankfully we were moved to the correct room afterwards. During breakfast, the service was sometimes quite slow — especially with the fruits. At times we had to ask several times to receive a plate, which was not very pleasant.

Spiaggia bellissima, qualche pecca ma complessivamente siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti.
Pros:

Spiaggia bellissima, sabbia bianca e ottima posizione per ammirare il tramonto. Il ristorante buono con varietà accettabile sia a colazione che a cena, ottima la signora che (credo) gestiva il personale pronta a risolvere qualsiasi intoppo, purtroppo non ne ricordo il nome. Perfetta anche la signora del bar. La camera era spaziosa e bella con un bel balcone, completa di cassaforte e frigorifero. Dovendo partire alle 07.00 di mattina, abbiamo chiesto di fare il check out la sera precedente, siamo stati accontentati senza nessun problema ed abbiamo avuto un box colazione al prezzo (direi onesto) di 2$.

Cons:

La camera era piuttosto buia, lo staff del ristorante, a volte, dimenticava le ordinazioni/richieste, comunque nulla di drammatico. I lettini sono pochi e capita di rimanere senza, complice la pessima abitudine dei clienti di riservare gli stessi con asciugamani o altro e poi lasciarli vuoti per ore. Sarebbe opportuno assegnare i lettini alle camere onde evitare problemi.
