Idyllic, stunning setting
Pros:

Loved the breakfast, with plenty of choice. All cooked eggs etc. were available for breakfast and cooked just as we asked. We also tried the french toast and waffles. Lovely setting in the restaurant always with a smiling welcome.

Cons:

Nothing - everything was just perfect for us.

Precioso y exclusivo hotel
Pros:

Hotel es un sitio precioso con bonitas habitaciones, muy cómodas, con acceso directo a una playa muy exclusiva. El personal es muy amable y la comida muy buena.

Cons:

Quizás que está un poco aislado y no hay nada alrededor pero tampoco es necesario por qué en el hotel hay de todo

Sehr schön gestaltetete Bungalowanlage an einem der ruhigsten Strände Zanzibars.
Pros:

Die Freundlichkeit und Aufmerksamkeit des sehr sympathischen Personals, die Qualität der Speisen und Cocktails, das Design der gesamten Anlage, der sehr saubere Strand und die gut gepflegte Anlage (Pflanzen, Bäume, Wege), die Gestaltung des Restaurant- und Loungebereichs, die bequemen und mehr als zahlreichen Strandliegen, das gute Licht im Badezimmer. Zur Zeit unseres Aufenthalts war die Anlage gerade relativ frisch renoviert, was einen sehr guten Eindruck macht. Wir würden wieder kommen, der Entspannungsfaktor war groß.

Cons:

Wenn jemand vom Nebenzimmer auf der geteilten Bungalow-Terrasse raucht und sich der Zigarettenrauch im Vorbereich auch der angrenzenden Zimmer staut. Das Konzept mit dem morgendlichen Kaffee direkt im Zimmer ist nett, funktionierte aber nie ganz einwandfrei, auch weil die hier lebenden Krähen sich sofort auf die Milchkännchen stürzten und Chaos anrichteten - besser wäre vielleicht ein indvidueller Wasserkocher im Zimmer + zur Verfügung gestelltem echtem gemahlenen Kaffee. Das zusätzliche Einzelbett im Zimmer nimmt ziemlich viel Platz weg und engt den Raum etwas ein.

Lovely relaxed vibe
Pros:

Great hotel with wonderful white sandy beach, quiet vibe which was perfect for us. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We came here for two nights at the end of our safari to relax, and we certainly did that.

Cons:

The main reason I booked the hotel was because I had read that they feed the bush babies in the evening before dinner. Disappointingly this didn’t happen on either night :( , although we did spot one in a tree later on.
Quite expensive overall.

Little quiet paradise
Pros:

Fantastic staff!! ❤️ Beautiful room. Great coctails and nice food. Pool area and the whole hotel setting is absolutely stunning..
You can even see a bush baby ❤️
Possibility to borrow a paddle board or cayak, reef shoes...

Cons:

Very quiet location. As there's no other options for refreshment the prices are a bit higher and kitchen close from 1600 till 1900.

Pros:

Location overall

Cons:

There was only one water bottle in the room. I requested an additional water bottle im the afternoon, but the receptionist denied and said it's only one bottle a day per room - so in the middle of the night we found ourselves super thirsty.

Second time here and would definitely recommend
Pros:

Exceptionally Beautiful beach location and fabulous grounds/gardens.
Staff are so friendly and helpful

Cons:

Dinner choices need more variety although the chef will try and accommodate any requests.
Cocktail maker/bar tender needs more training as quality of cocktail was poor.
Would have been nice to have had a musician say twice weekly in the evenings

Erholung und Ruhe pur
Pros:

Eine paradiesisch schöne Anlage 🥰 viele verschiedene Liege- und Sitzmöglichkeiten direkt am Meer 😊 Das Personal war ausserordentlich freundlich und aufmerksam! Die Erholung ist garantiert 😎

Cons:

Keine Möglichkeit, ausserhalb der Anlage ein Restaurant zu finden. Dies zwingt einem dazu, das überteuerte europäischgeprägte Essen zu konsumieren. Jammern auf hohem Niveau...
