to get started.

Everything was fine, particularly the location is the best in Nungwi! The sunset is the greatest, the sunrise was just too dreaming, and sandbank suddenly appears in front of the hotel in the afternoon!!!

The location and the beach bar / loungers were amazing. But mostly the staff, particularly Pascal, Emmanuel, Moloje and Leah who all helped us to make our stay as enjoyable as possible.

Cathy

The all inclusive was really good. If you want to lay in the sun, look at the beach and have refreshments, this is the place. The staff was also very attentive and accommodating.

It was a combination of African tradition with a modern style, it was also clean.

Everything was Hakuna Matata. People who serve were absolutely friendly, kind and nice to us. As honeymooners, we love their surprises very much and recommand to every couple who would like to come Nungwi Zanzibar. The sea is Indian ocean and has wonderful colors and clean water.

This hotel resort is placed in North of the island in Nungwi and has direct access to the beach. I have to mention the super attention from employees that were really attentive and looking for us to have the most comfortable stay. We went with a five year child and she has a wonderful stay. The swimming pool is fantastic, and we had booked with all inclusive, being surprised that some drinks (like beer are included), so it has been good value. Food and fish was really good for us, and buffet is not huge as we have experienced in other hotels, but quality was wonderful for us. The fish was spectacular!

Breakfast was good and so was the staff in the coffeeshop and restaurant. Though the happy hour drinks hardly had any alcohol!! Had to take them each time back to the bar to pour in the right amount.

I expected from the hotel much more, I mean, it's a Hilton partner. Position is the worst, I don't suggest it at all due to the bad smell that come from the sea and all the vendors in front of the hotel the whole day stressing everyone who wants to relax. Kendwa is the best beach position. I had an All inclusive package which is not very convenient, the quality of the food is not good, pretty cheap. The staff is very nice, they are very welcoming and always smiling and try to understand how they can help you.

“Staff are 4* but everything lacks finesse ”

- • Stayed 4 nights

On arrival to Zanzibar our transfer was not organised as agreed with the hotel. This caused considerable confusion and delay before the 1.5hr journey to the hotel. Once we reached the hotel, tired as you can imagine, reception seemed confused about our booking which was completed via Booking.com. We were finally shown to our room, which was supposed to be “pool view” but was more like garden view. However, the main issue was the overwhelming smell of damp and mould. We returned to reception to request another room, here we were shown to a room 3 doors down which had the exact same issue. Thankfully Moloje was there to assist and managed to get us a room on the 3rd floor in another block. Stating the damp smell in the other rooms was from the recent rains. The room was better but definitely not 4*. Our minibar was empty (which Moloje fixed the next day) but generally the room was shabby, there was multiple cracks etc throughout. On the third morning my friend and I awoke to the sound of crunching on wood. Like an insect of some sort. It was coming from my bed. We looked and could not find it, but made guest relations aware. Overall, the food was good, with a great variety and themed nights for something different. However, the “all inclusive” does come with multiple caveats. There is no alcohol in the room minibar and there is no food available in the all inclusive between 4 and 7. It’s not a big deal but something to keep in mind when booking. Although there isn’t anything else around so all inclusive Is the only way to go. Overall, The staff here are what makes this place enjoyable. The rooms are below par and the all inclusive doesn’t meet expectations. We raised all issues with staff when they arose and they did what they could. But I was disappointed that we were never offered something for all of the problems, like spa vouchers. Especially as there were issues every day of our stay!
The location and the beach bar / loungers were amazing. But mostly the staff, particularly Pascal, Emmanuel, Moloje and Leah who all helped us to make our stay as enjoyable as possible.

“Everything was superb apart from beach boys”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 1 night

The only deterrent is the abundance of beach boys at the beachfront of the hotel. They are loitering and constantly hare adding tourists begging for money and trying to sell you souvenirs. The beach was also full of algae
My partner and I transferred here from a lesser hotel in Kendwa where we did not feel safe at all. The small bumpy roads through Nungwi were uncomfortable but when we arrived at the gates of the hotel we instantly felt safe. There was security checking who and what was in the taxi before we entered and when we got out of the taxi we were greeted by the extremely friendly staff. We received a lovey fresh fruit juice and a warm cookie on arrival and were checked in by a lovely guy called Hamad. We were upgraded to a pool view room and decided to go for the All Inclusive (extremely good value!!) It is a short 15 minute walk to the natural aquarium which was very informative and a nice experience. All hotel facilities were top notch and could not have been made feel more safe. There was so many friendly staff to tend to our needs at any moment

Food was good but not great. Could have been a better selection on the all inclusive package. Proper gin for example or at least one good whiskey. If you’re a beer drinker you will be fine. That being said if I did it all over again I’d still take the all inclusive package - saves you a lot of money at the end.
The hospitality was incredible! Staff always friendly.

Front desk. Very rude. Attitude of take it or leave it. We had booked 3 rooms for our family. We were given all 3 in complete different directions and on request for having them close by, the front desk was very unsympathetic and to the extent that we had to find our own rooms and facilities in the hotel and bags reached the rooms after 2 hours of check in. Extremely unprofessional and not customer friendly. Also couldn't get over the system of wearing a colour band through out our stay. Felt like I was in Disneyland. Mr Sandeep , who had just joined the hotel was very helpful and tried to make our stay as good as was possible. Very small setup and no beach as such to go to. It was a cliff like stone wall with the sea after the wall. Lots of weed in the sea outside the hotel. In all a very rundown hotel with ordinary bathrooms and common areas outside the rooms with paint peeling off. But the worst is the journey from nungwi village to the hotel which is only made of massive potholes never seen in my life. Its 30 minutes of hell ride from the village.
Breakfast was good and so was the staff in the coffeeshop and restaurant. Though the happy hour drinks hardly had any alcohol!! Had to take them each time back to the bar to pour in the right amount.
