Lovely place
Pros:

This is a lovely place with a beautiful garden, a lovely pool and some chalets right on the beach.. Service was very good. Each evening mosquito nets were put down, the room was sprayed and given a quick sweep, which being right on the beach was welcome. There are very nice touches here such as handheld showers by the entrance to the chalets so you can clean feet and good quality beach towels are supplied. There were not many people staying when I was there and it is a fair walk into the village but particularly if you are a couple, group or family the location should not put you off staying at this beautiful place. I had a good massage at the on-site spa. The manager arranged a number of things for me to do all at reasonable prices, including snorkelling and a village tour which included visiting a local school.

Cons:

Wi-Fi wasn’t that great, and the property is a bit isolated.

Pros:

C'est un endroit avec une belle énergie, relaxant, Jamal est très réactif et aidant, il peut s'occuper de tous vos besoins rapidement, tout le reste de l'équipe est bienveillant et souriant. On voyageait avec notre bébé d'un an en basse saison (beaucoup de vent), on a pû bien profiter de la plage et de la piscine, nous n'étions pas nombreux c'est un bon rapport qualité/prix, on a vu plusieurs levée de lune 🌙 magnifiques. Le jardin est très beau, le restaurant est sur la plage avec une belle terrasse en bois très pratique pour la poussette ! Le menu est varié, les petits déjeuners sont très bien. Il y a aussi des petits restaus locaux à 2min à pied sur la plage faites y un tour.
Les départs pour la plongée peuvent se faire direct de l'hôtel, comme toutes excursions mais nous avions loué une voiture c'était très pratique car ils ont aussi un parking gratuit. Merci pour ce séjour :) Ada Théo & baby Ezra

Cons:

Ça serait super d'avoir une fontaine à eau potable et il n'y a pas de mini frigo dans les chambres ça peut être dérangeant .

A hidden gem in zanzibar
Pros:

This place is so nice, far from the touristic areas and big resort. You'll find peace, perfect for relax. You can have long walks along the beach (5km on south side and 4 to the north even with high tide). There are few places nearby where you can do snorkeling and scuba too. Best part was to fall asleep and wake up with the sound of waves only.

Cons:

Restaurant a bit too expensive compared to other local options nearby. Some more maintaineance would not be bad (e.g. sun chairs by the pool).

Beautiful quiet place on the beach
Pros:

We had such a good time. Our wonderful host Jamal was attentative to our every need and so was the rest of the staff. There's great food in the restaurant (particularly the soups are quite spectacular) and every morning when you walk on the porch you feel you woke up in paradise with the sea, palmtrees and white sands greeting you. It's a beautiful well maintained resort on one of the best places on the island I believe.

Cons:

There's the occasional power outage, but that happens on the entire island. I'm sure Jamal would personally fix that if he could.

Pros:

Locația bună, chiar pe plajă, cameră decentă, personal amabil

Cons:

Lipsa securității, cum ziceam căsuțele sunt bine situate chiar pe plajă, dar din păcate nu poți să stai sub umbrele deoarece ești agasat de cei ce vor să vândă una alta. Am stat doar pe teritoriul resortului, dar nici acolo nu am stat liniștiți. Au prins curaj și au urcat și acolo. Nici noapte nu ne-am simțit foarte în siguranță cu toate că geamurile aveau gratii.
Ne plac animalele, dar nu la masă. Pe teritoriul restaurantului erau foarte multe pisici care, pentru noi, au fost o neplăcere (am găsit și în farfurie fire de păr)
În baie miroase ciudat și curățenia lasă de dorit.
Pene de curent prea des și totodată lipsă de internet.
Micul dejun acceptabil.

Hospitality on steroids
Pros:

The most wonderful staff ever. Nothing was too much trouble. Jamal manages the place fantastically! Harriet, Eva, Kayaya and the chefs were amazing! Cleaning ladies also went out of their way to help. Wonderful breakfasts, excellent food all round!

Cons:

The power outage problem is a bit of a challenge. Suggest some portable solar lamps for all around the property and in the rooms. This will help a lot. Make use of the sunshine...

Pros:

The staff were very helpful and the reception was exceptional. Although there were thousands of sea urchins (in September), you can get around them to reach the sand bank but it's very difficult. There is a really nice girl in the reception by the name of Sasha which did everything she could so that we could enjoy our stay.

Przepiękny ogród.
Pros:

Przepiękny ogród, przede wszystkim bardzo pomocny personel - poprosiliśmy o zmianę pokoju ze względu na za małe łóżko dla osoby o wzroście 190 cm i został nam zaproponowany inny, więc tu duży plus. Zawsze starali się pomóc. Bardzo ładna plaża przed hotelem i spokojna okolica.

Cons:

Mało smaczne śniadania - raz trafiła się jajecznica z proszku. Drogo w samej restauracji (mamy porównanie do całej wyspy), w pokojach było parę usterek (cieknący wężyk, nie działająca klimatyzacja)

Schöne Anlage
Pros:

Alle sehr freundlich, schöne Anlage und sehr ruhig.

Cons:

Wir hatten Probleme mit der Dusche/Wasser und es hat 4 Tage gedauert um die Ursache festzustellen, allerdings waren wir denoch zufrieden. Sorry , Bettgestell quietscht ein bisschen viel. Matratzen waren sehr komfortabel.
