Good location ,
Pros:

Definitely a good resort , perfect location . Has good shopping sports , and adjacent to the beach . So many water sports nearby . The staff are very good . Especially the bar staff .

Cons:

We were at a beach facing room and the curtains were not closing the view . We requested multiple times , even showed the staff that this is the problem but it wasn’t resolved , as we wanted to close it during the night and when we wanted to change . So we took the Bedsheet and we closed it for ourself .

Non ci tornerei
Pros:

Lo staff accogliente, disponibile e sempre pronto a soddisfare le nostre richieste. La colazione ci è piaciuta molto. Altra cosa positiva sicuramente la vista sull'oceano. Il cibo è stato quasi sempre buono, il menu offre sia piatti tipici della cucina swahili sia hamburger, insalate, pasta etc.

Cons:

Struttura datata. La nostra camera era l'ultima nell'angolo (probabilmente rifilataci perché prenotato con largo anticipo e quindi ad un prezzo scontato..ma neanche troppo rispetto alle altre strutture). La finestra del bagno dava sulla cucina di un ristorante da dove entrava costantemente l'odore di cucinato e di pesce arrostito. Un paio di volte gli asciugamani puzzavano di fumo e non venivano cambiati tutti i giorni. Inoltre la camera non era dotata di zanzariera attorno al letto (ma penso si tratti di un caso isolato, perché le altre camere ne erano provviste). Per quanto riguarda la posizione, il resort è "fronte spiaggia" ma in realtà ci sono ore del giorno in cui la spiaggia "scompare" per via dell'alta marea quindi sei costretto ad uscire dal Resort e andare in una spiaggia pubblica (a Nungwi ce ne sono pochissime perché tutte privatizzate dai resort con accesso RISERVATO solo ai loro clienti😵‍💫).
Una sera ci é stata servita un'aragosta avariata, ce ne siamo accorti dal colore e dal cattivo odore che emanava e questo ci ha fatto venire qualche dubbio sulla freschezza degli altri pasti. Tuttavia, lo abbiamo comunicato al personale che ci ha sostituito il piatto.

Nous avons passé un séjour magnifique et nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir !
