We zijn verwend!
Pros:

Wat een mooi groot prachtig schoon hotel. Ontbijt iedere ochtend verse producten, lief personeel, heerlijk schoon zwembad. Wat leuk was ‘s avonds gaan de lampjes aan en heb je wat te kijken vanaf je balkon.
De masseuses waren ook goed, wisten precies hoe ze de stijve spieren moesten masseren.
We hebben genoten van dit verwen weekje hier❤️.

Relax hete after travelling
Pros:

Wonderful place to stay after our African Safari for 3 nights . Staff are great and the setting and building are outstanding. Airport transfer is free. Trips to town are convenient and well priced

Cons:

Says its in Stone town but its a little away . It's fine you just need to get a taxi or transport from the hotel. Don't try to walk you'll get lost in the narrow streets!!
