great atmosphere, beautiful and extremely tasty food
TanzaniaThe place is just beautiful and simple, which I liked very much. Access to beach was very easy and there’s also a pool with beach view if you’re not a fan of sea swimming. Everyone I met there was super friendly and accommodating, and to my surprise and excitement they have few adorable and friendly rescued pups 🥰 If you like nice live music, this is the place to be, because you’ll get to enjoy it here every Thursday, I think. Prices at the bar are reasonable and food was tasty. The place feels like home, and it’s definitely hard to leave 🥲
United Arab EmiratesManagement, staff, comfort, environment, location and entertainment.
TanzaniaThe staff were friendly and the room was clean. Food was decent.
United States of AmericaThe owners were nice, friendly, down to earth & helpful.
United States of AmericaThe lodge is beautifully located at the southern end of Jambiani beach. The water is turquoise and the whole scenery breathtaking. Especially at low tide, you enjoy a huge area with shallow water and lagoons - ideal also for kiting (if you have your own equipment). Otherwise, you will find some schools and equipment to rent further down the beach. The lodge is run by Kerstin and her Zanzibarian husband. Kerstin is very warm hearted and takes extremely good care to make your stay as pleasant as possible. And also the staff is very attentive and nice. We really enjoyed our stay at Red Monkey!

IrelandEverything was great at the hotel, it definitely exceeded my expectations. Staff is very friendly and caring, felt like they will do their best to make sure everyone is enjoying their time here. Food is very delicious, there are plenty options to choose from for lunch and dinner. There are only 3 or 4 options for breakfast, but the one with avocado toast is something I was looking forward every morning. Power shortages were handled very nicely - it was pretty rare to even feel one. I seriously fell in love with the place and already looking forward to coming back. :)
