Friendly, accomodating staff. Great location on the beach - it was perfect for us because we’d been full on for 3 weeks,
Pros:

Location - away from busier part of the beach. That it was non smoking in the restaurant

Cons:

It would be good to see non smoking around the pool area, perhaps have a designated smoking area on the premises. Not much fun if you’re a non smoker & you want to relax by the pool & someone lights up a cigarette . Hot showers were a little inconsistent - quite often you’d get in the shower, lather up & the water would stop!

Non ci tornerei anche perché il rapporto qualità/prezzo è davvero scarso
Pros:

La gentilezza dello staff, e la struttura si presenta bene

Cons:

La posizione che è nel punto mare peggiore di Kendwa , c’è tipo un porticciolo dove non si può fare il bagno .
Le stanze un po’ datate , le zanzariere erano in alcuni punti rotte , il bagno anche molto datato .
La cucina è veramente pessima, abbiamo assaggiato sia la colazione che era inclusa e sia il ristorante a la carte, non ne parliamo .

Excellent séjour dans un endroit magnifique
Pros:

Superbe emplacement, un peu en retrait des autres hôtels mais une belle ambiance assez intimiste . Très belle situation face à la mer, Restaurant très bien placé, équipe d'animation sympa et francophone

Cons:

La plage de l'hôtel est peu baignable car c'est l'emplacement des bateaux de pêche. Mais il est facile de se baigner un peu plus loin

Pros:

Our stay at the resort was absolute perfection. Starting from our late arrival due to flight delays, when fresh sandwiches, a fruit platter, cold drinks, and a complimentary massage for every family member were waiting for us. The hotel is quiet and intimate, and the staff was warm and welcoming at all hours, making us feel right at home. The food was wonderful, the rooms were clean and beautiful, and all the hotel facilities were well-maintained and high quality—with no mosquitoes at all, not even at the beach or the pool. The evening activities were lovely, and the hotel's private beach is the best in Zanzibar. The surrounding area has plenty of restaurants, supermarkets, and everything you need. On our last night, they even treated us to a romantic chef's dinner on the beach on the house.

We enjoyed every single moment and didn't want to leave.
A huge thank you to Emmanuel, Klaris, Alex, and Majara for moments we will never forget!

Pros:

Breakfast was basic. We had eggs cooked for us daily. Varuety of breads and cereals and hot options.

Cons:

The negative bit we found was the bed was uncomfortable. Whilst the bed and frame looked beautiful, wasnt practical. it sagged in the middle and It had a wood beam at the both edges of the mattress, made it hard to get in and out comfortabke. We complained to staff. They brought in a carpenter to fix the sagging and replaced the mattress. Still wasnt right. Other than that, staff was excellent. Really good hotel. Good for young couples. The Elderly will find this hard to get over the bed frame.

Oké
Pros:

De locatie was op zich oké, levendige omgeving ( vissers)

Cons:

Geen familie - accommodatie, maar 2 kamers boeken noodzakelijk
Vrij klein en basic ‘resort’ en apparaten in de kamer werkten niet ( kluis, föhn en tv, waterkoker)
Beperkte eet variaties, veel hetzelfde
Mooi gelegen alleen het strand voor het hotel wordt door de vissers gebruikt en is dus bezaaid met zeewier en ( aangespoeld ) afval
De prijs- kwaliteit is uit balans
