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

The beach area has plenty of seaweeds specially during low tide. We booked a room with a pool view. They did give us the room facing the pool but covered by the tree. We wished we just opted for the garden view instead.
The staffs are friendly. The reception welcomed as with cold beverage and freshly made cookies. The Filipina staff was very helpful. She gave us aloe vera for our burnt skin. There were security guards specially near the beach area. The food was great. The breakfast buffet and lunch buffet had many selections. On dinner, they had themed nights. Our favourite was the African night which was on a Sunday night. It was a romantic setting by the beach with a live band. On the other nights, the buffet setting were in the restaurant area.

We did an all inclusive package. We didn’t realise that you could get the ‘better’ cocktails at different bars so bar hopping was a good thing to do because they don’t advertise that u can (the pool bar was limited but at the beach bar you could get spirits etc on the all inclusive). It was disappointing that when the staff saw u had a ‘red’ wrist band meaning all inclusive, they delay the service and u basically have to hunt them down for a drink. Our friends who weren’t all inclusive continually got haggled to buy drinks. We had 2 days were our shower water was cold.
This is a great resort, the pool was great & the cocktails and food was amazing. The restaurant changes the food up enough that it stays interesting.

The massage was not great truth be told - deep massage was not so deep, we were lucky we had a voucher otherwise its very expensive. TV reception is bad but you shouldn't be watching TV on holiday. Also shower in room could do with a curtain as water splashes out onto the floor. Very minor in reality.
Staff are so so kind an make all effort to help you. They will rectify anything that goes wrong. All very happy. The rooms are nice an clean. Hotel is clean an has nice facilities and breakfast was tasty. People all seemed to be enjoying themselves on all inclusive.

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.
