ItalyA small place with intimate unique feel and great restaurant - best seafood / any food we had in 3 weeks in Zanzibar. Worth every penny eaten in a small banana garden. Friendly attentive staff that understand customer service. We booked last minute and have no regrets. Not on a beach per say, but their Bar is and you can walk over in 2 min and enjoy their great food and nice beach lounge. Vert enjoyable relaxed no shoes stay!

United States of AmericaAn extraordinary beautiful place with super friendly staff and delicious food! Everybody working there is really warm and they help you with anything you need. The hotel has a very aesthetic style and is located in a safe area next to small shops and other restaurants. Another plus is that it’s really authentic - in the middle of the local life of Zanzibar.
