Would not recommend anyone staying here if you’re expecting a 5 star hotel
Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

Experienced an awful stay at this hotel. The bed and pillows were very uncomfortable, wallpaper in our room was peeling, air conditioning would not cool down the room, and there was a flashing light fixture which could not be switched off and flashed on and off throughout the night. The shower water pressure was nearly non existent.

Fantastic
Pros:

I liked the hospitality and staff service. The cleanest of the hotel and sort distance from Stone Town. The breakfast was fantastic with the legendary coco nuts juice.

Cons:

The internet connection was not good. Due to the road construction/rehabilitation, il was a long detour to access the hotel reception. Sometimes, drivers were lost.

Pros:

The environment

Cons:

The service delivery at the restaurant was very slow and they definitely need a restaurant floor manager to coordinate the waiters.
But the food is excellent 👌

Very slow service
Pros:

I had a quick stay at the hotel, just overnight for an early flight. Though hotel is market 5 stars, it definitely does not feel like one. Unfortunately, the quality and speed of service were poor.

For me and the other guest, there were two large towels (one each) and only one hand towel (to share?). I had to ask for an extra one and it took an hour to bring it.

While I booked a room with two beds, we arrived to see that our room had one large bed. In order to separate it into two beds, we had to wait for an hour.

While we were rushing to leave at 5.00am, it took over 15 minutes for the luggage to be picked up and brought to the reception. On the night of our arrival I told the staff that we need luggage service to be at 4.40. Nonetheless, it did not happen and only after a number of requests, the super slow luggage service arrived. Causing unnecessary stress and pressure.

Wonderful warm stay.
Pros:

Breakfast was great. The green everywhere was refreshing. The staff were very helpful , professional and kind. The rooms are spacious, the view to the ocean was amazing. Due to the space, it was possible to have a run or jog around the premises till the harbour and would end it with a swimming in the pool.

Cons:

Soroundings outside the hotel are not interesting. Not worth the time of walking out to see what else is closeby.
