Une pépite !
Pros:

La nourriture est à tomber tellement c’est délicieux !
L’emplacement est génial juste devant le banc de sable, ce qui permet d’aller se baigner même à marée basse ! À côté du célèbre restaurant The Rock qui mérite l’expérience (même si la cuisine a l’hôtel est bien meilleure)
Piscine très agréable,magnifique vue sur le lagon et petit déjeuner incroyable.
Bref, une toute toute bonne adresse !

Cons:

Lit ferme, certes, mais oreillers excellents (nous avons très bien dormi)

Pros:

La spiaggia più bella di zanzibar. Nonostante le maree e' possibile fare sempre il bagno. Struttura molto curata , pulita e personale molto disponibile ed accogliente. Elena, la proprietaria , e' una persona meravigliosa , ti fa sentire a casa sempre coccolato, riesce a rendere il tuo soggiorno magico.....
Il mangiare ( praticamente tutto fatto in casa ) e' il TOP !!!!!!!!

Cons:

Niente

SUPER
Pros:

Residenza favolosa, stanza pulita, letto comodissimo, bagno super! Si va a piedi al the rock con 5 min di camminata sulla spiaggia.

Cons:

Andrebbero cambiate solamente le tende che danno all'esterno, non chiudono benissimo tra di loro per luce e sguardi dall'esterno.

Piccolo ma accogliente
Pros:

Ottimo ristorante di cucina italiana. Posizione direttamente sulla spiaggia di Pingwe poco distante dal ristorante The Rock. Struttura curata e accogliente e che si sta ingrandendo. Angolo piscina piccolo ma molto piacevole. Elena la proprietaria sempre attenta ad ogni esigenza dei clienti.

Cons:

Luci della camera un pò basse di luminosità; scarsità wifi e segnale telefonico e purtroppo, come spesso succede a Zanzibar, mancanze frequenti della corrente elettrica non supportate adeguatamente dalla gestione del generatore.
