Everything! I can’t fault it. Starting from the gate, very warm welcome. Made me and my wife feel and get in tune with the happy mood. Very exceptional service from staff, spectacular amenities and access and good value for money. I felt very happy and can recommend this to anyone with my eyes closed. Made a lot of vacation memories with my wife here.

All the patrol guards and the staff were so nice. We were treated like queen & king. The beach is the most beautiful of Zanzibar. The best snorkeling place of Zanzibar.

A great hotel to stay at.. Stayed for 7 days - had the deluxe double room with sea view, very spacious and amazing view The staff is beyond amazing, lovely and caring, they put time to memorize your name and call you by your name when they meet you or you are having meals at the restaurant - have not seen this in so many other luxurious places. The customer relationship manager Anita, is just on fire - unbeatable energy, always roaming around and checking on guests and asking to keep her busy - with a great smile and sense of humor. The way your room is prepared for sleep while you are at dinner, the bed arranged and ready to get in, a bottle of water and cookies are put next to your bed are just another level of service. The food variety and portions are super! Themed dinners with music and shows! They even offer you late checkout if possible without you having to ask for it - a complete different customer centricity approach. I would truly recommend this hotel - I am picky and I like it :)

The hotel is beautiful and the staff are wonderful, especially Omar. He cared about the smallest details and helped us with everything. He deserves respect and appreciation and provided us with all means of comfort and happiness. The customer service was very good and even the food was very delicious. It was a special experience for us that we enjoyed.

Watching the sunset and the sky change colors after sunset from the end of the jetty was amazing! Lots of variety of foods at the buffets. Beautiful gardens/plantings throughout the property.

    The convenience of having golf facilities just steps away from my accommodation, combined with the service and amenities of the hotel, made for a truly good stay. I would highly recommend this hotel to any golfer looking for a golfing experience paired with the comforts of a luxury retreat in Zanzibar. After all the hotel has the only Golf Course in Zanzibar.

    The view from this hotel is excellent. The bed was comfortable. One could walk down to the beach easily. If you are on a very tight budget, this is an ideal place to stay, do not expect the usual luxuries associated with beach resorts. If you like a rustic feel of an old inn, with weathered walkways, steps and exteriors of the buildings, then you will be at home.

    We spent 2 nights in this place. our goal was to play golf in there. what can I say - it’s a big resort hotel, there are a lot of activities you can do. they have tennis, golf, billiard and mini-golf there are several swimming pools a lot of plans, ocean view is really nice about the room - it’s a big old-fashioned and maybe need to fresh a bit, but clean and comfortable to problem with water pressure (what is normal in Africa) we had all-inclusive, they have enough variety of food you can choose
