Bel hôtel pour profiter de la plage
Pros:

Nous avions réservé la villa avec piscine privée que nos enfants ont beaucoup apprécié. Nous étions en demi pension, le petit déjeuner était très bon et les plats proposés à la carte pour le dîner de qualité (portion un peu petite).
La plage de l’hôtel est magnifique, l’eau translucide et chaude.

Cons:

Rien.
Ce n’est pas la faute de l’hôtel mais juste en face des transats de l’hôtel, sur la plage, il y a une hordes de pseudo Massai qui harcèlent les touristes pour leur vendre des babioles dès que l’on quitte les transats pour aller se baigner. Vraiment pénible.

Affordable resort with adequate amenities and a clean beach, but poor quality food options.
Pros:

The beach was clean and had a designated area to swim. Security kept the annoying beach boys away with only limited ones promoting their tours. The breakfast was sufficient with an open-air sitting area. The place was affordable at $203 for a basic room without any view, but we enjoyed the amenities the resort had to offer.

Cons:

The gym and pool were small, but adequate. The resort is starting to look dated as it has been around for a while. But it's the most affordable one if you still want the resort vibe and facilities for Zanzibar. I'm a vegetarian, so I had no problems with the food. But my friend had poor quality chicken and other foods. The pineapple juice we ordered was mixed with water, as a means to save money, so in my opinion, they offered poor quality food options. According to my friend, the rice was not fresh and the chicken was tough to chew and tasteless.

Nagyszerű helyen korrekt, de nem kiemelkedő szállás.
Pros:

A pool bungalow a legjobb választás - saját kis medencével, közelebb a parthoz. A személyzet nagyon igyekszik. Az ár-apály alig észlelhető. Nyüzsgő part. A parton és a hotelen belül az őrzés kiváló, minden dicséret érte!

Cons:

A reggeli minőségén sokat lehetne javítani. A part és a szobák között nagyon sok a lépcső és messze is van. Felújítás rá férne a szobákra. Hónapokkal az érkezés előtt leemelik a teljes összeget és nem a foglalt szoba típust kapod. A szobai meghibásodásra lassan reagálnak.
