The fact that I had limited time. I had to.leave

Location and the breakfast were fantastic. I liked the soup and the fresh fruits

The remote location meant we could not explore other parts or activities in Zanzibar easily. The cost of transportation to town was high. The hotel is mostly for people who want to stay put in one place. Also, the hotel is old.

The property is remote but with lots of activities and entertainment every night. There were 5 resturant offering visitirs many options.

The food portions for dinner were very small, the service was very poor, as it was slow, the staff don’t speak English so well. The power issues on and off, the staff forgot to clean our room.

Breakfast was excellent. No complaints.

Stunning property with enough beautiful spots to enjoy everyday. The staff was amazing and they upgraded us as we were celebrating my birthday! They also had a cake and they sang for me. Shoutout to Silima and many other staff who made our trip memorable.

I don't even have anything to complain, all our complaints were addressed right on time by the hotel. The services were just beyond our expectation

The services were excellent. The team was extremely helpful beyond our expectations. From the booking stage i had to change dates for my personal circumstances and Derrick from the booking department really helped me. I am so grateful. Plus, when we checked in the hotel, we were treated so well. Issa who was with us through our stay did a good job to accommodate us and our stay was memorable. Issa was so thoughtful and helpful with everything we needed. All meals were inclusive and there are varieties of restaurants, with our short stay we enjoyed all the meals offered from breakfast from spice market to pool bar chilling drinking and even snacking to Jetty restaurant for dinner was superb. The sea food was freshly served and delicious. We had a great time.

As always, late check in times( sigh ).

Excellent rooms, service and the all inclusive booking was so convenient.

Earlier check in times would have been perfect.

It was an all inclusive stay with the superior rooms being amazing. However, standard rooms with garden views and partial sea views were also fantastic. Perfect week away.

No immediate beach. You either had to walk for a good 25 minutes or take the hotel buggy to reach Gabi beach - the hotel's private beach. Food was OK.

We were upgraded to a suite so the accommodation was excellent. Two pools - one large general pool and the other a quieter only adult only pool. Beautifully kept gardens. Well equipped gym. Good evening entertainment.

Early check in for travellers with kids would be perfect. Please do consider this for the future.

All good from food to the facilities.

Power/water/AC outages, food, aggressive vendors on the beach , lack of hotel information on arrival and in room, one or two waiters at the Beach cafe did not seem happy in their work. On day 10 I developed a nasty rash on my back - doctors back in UK are still trying to find out what caused it. My wife has conservative tastes in food, preferring English food, and had trouble finding anything she liked on the dinner menus.

Beach, pool, location , mostly friendly staff, security. The recreations organiser, Khatibu, was a real treasure - very friendly, a genuinely nice guy. Likewise Adam who seemed to be at every restaurant we visited. Several pool and beach waitresses, including Neema, were very good.

The transportation logistics have not been handled well from pick up to drop off. some staff were not that experienced.

the location near the beach.

Stayed in February 2025

The service was disappointing. While some staff members were helpful, many—especially the female staff—were incompetent and had poor language skills, making communication difficult. This really affected the overall experience. On top of that, my privacy was not respected—despite having the ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign on my door, a staff member walked in on me at 8 AM. The cleaning staff were also extremely noisy in the mornings, making it impossible to sleep. Additionally, my garbage wasn’t emptied on the second day, which was frustrating.

The resort itself was beautiful, with great facilities, a nice pool/beach with great restaurant options and a spa.

The scenary

Stayed in December 2024

When there is a low tide (and it's roughly half of the day) it is completely not possible to swim. It's not hotel's fault or anything but if you are choosing it because of the nice pictures of the beach - think twice

Stayed in December 2024

Photos and description did not point that the sandy beach is 500 meters away

Excellent service and vegetarian food.
