Categories

Cleanliness
9.6
Multiple reviews explicitly state the hotel is 'clean' or 'modern and clean', indicating strong housekeeping and room cleanliness.
Service
9.3
Predominantly very positive: staff repeatedly described as friendly, hospitable and helpful (named staff praised). There are isolated negatives about reception being arrogant and one report of being ignored at the egg station, so service is rated slightly below top marks.
Location
9.5
Consistently praised for beachfront location, direct sea access and proximity to the airport (~15 minutes). A few guests note it is a bit distant from city centre, but overall location is a strong asset.
Room Quality
8.7
Mixed feedback: several guests enjoyed well-equipped apartments with good amenities, Wi‑Fi and sea views, while others noted outdated bathrooms, worn beds and a temporary extra bed—indicating room quality varies and needs some upgrades.
Amenities
9.6
Many mentions of strong amenities: pool, sun beds, hammocks, 4‑poster/swinging beds, good Wi‑Fi, airport shuttle and well-equipped rooms (hairdryer, iron, safe).
Value for Money
9.2
Overall good value noted (one review explicitly praises price), with high-quality breakfast and facilities supporting a positive value perception; minor room-upgrade comments temper a perfect score.
Food and Beverage
9.7
Very strong consensus on food: numerous glowing mentions of breakfast ('wow' factor), excellent dinner buffet and specific dishes praised. Only isolated, vague critique of 'food.'
Overall Experience
9.6
Overall sentiment is highly positive—headlines like 'Great', 'Exceptional', 'Fabulous' and many recommendations. A small number of mixed reviews prevent a perfect aggregate.
* This sentiment is summarized by AI based on user reviews.

Etsblissement sans charme et sans attention
Pros:

Emplacement très beau maison s y ennuie heureusement qu il y a des piscines car on ne peut pas se baigner dans la mer

Cons:

Accueil desastreux car on a essayé de m attribuervla villa 110 avec vue sur le bâtiment a bateau et non vue sur mer
Service deplorable a chaque fois fois que vous demander quelque chose vous attendez
Le restaurant avec buffet et beaucoup de musique tres forte
L etablissement est ouvert a des agence de style Leclerc ce qui implique une baisse du niveau de la qualité pour economiser

A mixture…
Pros:

When we arrived ,after a no show pick up at the airport ,nothing to do with the hotel ,there was a query about charges. For us ,it was already paid.. Bedroom was huge. Bathroom good apart from the mastic stopping the basin from leaking. Breakfast, …why did the man on the egg station, ignore me in favour of 4 black people who were behind me? Am I neurotic? After being ignored and being head of the queue, I think not. Bumped into the owner ,who seemed a nice man.Would I go back? No. Reception were ranging between helpful and really arrogant. Almost old world grandeur, but the place is only 10 years old. Ok, but not my idea of a good hotel.

Goed verblijf!
Pros:

Ontbijt was goed. Ruime keuze en lekker. Personeel was zeer vriendelijk en avondeten was ook prima. Een aanrader!

Cons:

Enige wat beter kan is de kamers en vooral de badkamer upgraden. Dit is erg verouderd. Ook het bed en de kamer zelf is echt toe aan vernieuwing. Voor de rest geen nadelen!

Delicious Dinner Buffet and Amazing Hospitality
Pros:

I enjoyed the dinner buffet from the hotel restaurant. The food was very tasty, I particularly liked the Avocado and mango salad, the beef stroganof, and the grilled tuna.
Also, all staff were very hospitable, warm and welcoming, and always checked on my satisfaction. I want to thank in particular Jackline, she's a star, very pleasant and friendly.
Thank you very much!

Fabulous hotel
Pros:

We hit the jackpot picking this hotel on our recent trip to Zanzibar. We were impressed with the appearance and layout. It has all facilities. We stayed in a lovely appartment with partial sea view and balcony. It had all amenities hairdryer, iron, safe , well equipped fridge plenty of water and soft drinks. Excellent WiFi.
The food was excellent and the the best asset to this hotel is the staff. Special mention to Chris at pool bar who kept us supplied around the pool. Elia the main bartender was also a lovely young man. The staff in the main dining area were amazing. Breakfast had a real wow factor catering for everyone with amazing coffee station, omelette/ egg station. Fruit, cheeses and anything you could want.
I must mention the more than adequate sun beds, fresh towels, lots of options of hammocks, 4 poster beds overlooking the sea, swinging beds or plain sun beds. The reception staff and manager were also fabulous assisting with taxi transfers and room extensions with flight changes. Definitely recommend this hotel.
