Allez y les yeux fermés vous ne pourrez pas regretter !
Pros:

- La gentillesse du personnel, ils sont vraiment incroyables ! Ils sont tous souriants, au petit soin ! Un mention spéciale à Lucie qui parle Français et qui m’a conseillé d’aller à un des plus beaux endroits que j’ai vu de ma vie et qui s’est toujours inquiétée que tout se passe bien pour moi !
- L’hygiène irréprochable ! Le personnel balaie constamment les alentours de la piscine, les chambres sont nettoyées chaque jour , les femmes de ménages font le ménage à fond jusqu’au moindre détail comme les fenêtres et ce tous les jours !
- Le lieux , en plein centre de Paje , il y’a un magasin avec tout ce qu’il vous faut d’essentiel à quelques mètres . Des commerces où vous pourrez acheter vos souvenirs , une multitude de restaurants dans les alentours .
- Les petites attentions tel qu’un parapluie, gel douche et shampooing à disposition, serviette de bain et de plage, sèche cheveux .
- Les prix plus qu’abordables , 15$ pour un très grand sac pour la laverie , 40$ les massages d’une heure , les prix de la restauration qui sont moindres (pour 10$ vous mangerez !) .
- le petit déjeuné compris dans le séjour avec un large choix à la carte (jus de fruit frais , sucré comme salé)
- La piscine en face de la mer et l’accès à la piscine de l’hôtel Zula (c’est les mêmes patron)
- avec un peu de chance vous verrez des singes !
- ATM et bureau de changes en dehors de l’hôtel mais vraiment pas loins .
- Le restaurant Zula est juste INCROYABLE ! Quant au restaurant de l’hôtel il faut juste qu’ils prêtent attention à la chaleur des plats car à plusieurs reprises ils m’ont été servis tièdes (l’information a été transmise et ils vont y remédier)
- Deux fois par semaine il y’a une soirée a l’hôtel avec de la musique Tanzanienne et tout le personnel se donne à cœur joie pour animer celle-ci
- il y’a une multiprise (pas de branchage mais des câbles) ce qui vous évite de prendre 15 adaptateurs .

Cons:

Rien !! Et pourtant je suis assez exigeante !

servizio top in una struttura informale ma pulita ed in un posto stupendo
Pros:

posto sul mare, lo spettacolo delle maree è incredibile, un mare da sogno, le camere molto grandi e spaziose, personale gentilissimo oltre ogni aspettativa, prezzi del ristorante molto convenienti ( si mangia con 8_10 dollari a persona massimo) e varietà del menù ottima, bravo il team in cucina, davvero.L'ultimo giorno partendo la sera ci hanno messo a disposizione gratuitamente la suite per tutta la giornata, non c'è che dire, una coccola inaspetatta.Bravi!

Cons:

nulla

We enjoyed our stay, but for that price it could have been a bit better.
Pros:

Nice rooms, right by a nice beach, nice pool area.

Cons:

Breakfasts could be more varied. Staff could be better organised (at least some of them). Definitely need a better WiFi.

Urlaub mit traumhafter Kulisse umgeben von netten Menschen.
Pros:

Tolle Anlage mit super Lage. Super freundliches Personal. Kleiner Privatstrand mit tollem Blick. Alles war super sauber.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war nicht sehr groß, dafür das Badezimmer unnütz groß. Und es hat immer sehr gestunken im Badezimmer. Frühstück war eher mäßig, man musste sich was von der Karte aussuchen.

A wonderful, friendly hotel in a central location.
Pros:

This was our second time at the hotel. The location is excellent, the staff is friendly, and the cleanliness is exceptional. We left with a positive experience for the second time. The Columbus monkeys jumping on the bushes, terraces and running around the pool provide a wonderful experience. We loved being there, and we might come back for a third time.
But we might also try the hotel's "sister", the Zula.

Cons:

We only have one small negative comment.
We spent 14 days at the hotel, so the breakfast selection was a bit boring in the last few days. But regardless, it was very delicious. :-)

Bella struttura direttamente sul mare
Pros:

Gentilezza personale

Cons:

Poca pulizia verso il mare
Basterebbe poco per tener pulito la spiaggia davanti all’hotel.
