“After reading so many excellent reviews we had high expectations for this hotel unfortunately for us it didn't quite reach the mark.
Pro's
- smooth & quick check-in (after a pre-check in via email)
- App is helpful to see what's happening/bookings etc
- Hotel grounds/ facilities well maintained & clean
- friendly Staff
- Clean & tidy room
- beautiful setting
- Taste of Asia recommended for lunch
- Excursions are worth booking available through hotel (we did Jozani Forest/Stone Town) We also did Cheetahs Rock (booked directly with facility for this one) highly recommended
con's
- Restaurant food for lunch/dinner is very similar and can get boring
- Bookable restaurants not always available (book in advance)
- We found the lunch food on offer far better than dinner
- no bar snacks when having a drink - nuts/crisp etc - this would have been a nice touch
- Turn downs were hit and miss - sometimes it happened others not - not what we expected for a premium room - especially when there was limited water to drink in the room when the turn down was missed - sometimes really early as well 5pm
-lots of extra charges - all inclusive isn't all inclusive (some cocktails /drinks are extra along with 1 of the restaurants)
Overall we enjoyed our stay but didn't feel like it was 5-star.”

“The hotel was wonderful. A safe place with delicious food and the people are so lovely. Clean and got everything you need.
My only thing would be to make sure there is an all inclusive coconut rum. ”

“Great amenities and variety
Food is a 6/10 - lots of options but some stations were consistent disappointments
Could have issued more information about sand fleas as after a first encounter, limited us from going on the beach again”

“This is a really AMAZING HOTEL for both families or couples. I travelled more than 70 countries; and this was such an amazing spot I stayed. Before selectong hotel I read all comments but some negative ones are not very realistic to me now:
1-amazing staff: from reception to beach, restaurants to gardeners; all are making the hotel really shine. So kind, helpful, and service quality to your front amazingly. In any other country you cannot find such - in EU for sure not
2- food: very very delicious, big variety. Some mentioned that it s not easy to book restaurants which is absolutaley not true; very very easy indeed. If you are searching for Michelin restaurants ; for sure no need to come here; otherwise this hotel is amazing
3-natives by the beach: wheb walking by the beach; there are Tanzanian and Masai people approaching you but in a very gentle way; tryijg to help you walk in return asking you to visit their shops in a very good petsonal distance. All are kind. No need to worry at all even with kids or ladies alone. Also in case there are safety guards by beach.
4- sea and beach: very beautiful amd clean. Even in low tides you cannkt see any trash in the sea or beach. Be careful with sear urchines in low tide after 1km from beach. Masaii will help you
My only comment might be daily trips and spa services; despite of their quality; a bit overpriced even above EU levels.
Overall:
Such a very good price vs service quality. Big thanks to all team and employees. ”

“This is a really AMAZING HOTEL for both families or couples:
1-amazing staff: from reception to beach, restaurants to gardeners; all are making the hotel really shine. So kind, helpful, and service quality to your front amazingly. In any other country you cannot find such - in EU for sure not
2- food: very delicious, enough variety. Some mentioned that it s not easy to book restaurants which is absolutaley not true; very easy indeed. If you are searching for Michelin restaurants ; for sure no need to come here; otherwise this hotel is amazing. Many alcoholic beverages included in all incl; others are normal priced compared to EU.
3-natives by the beach: when walking by the beach; there are Tanzanian and Masai people approaching you but mostly in a friendly way; keeping personal distance; if some are insisting, they stop if you ask them to. No need to worry, even with kids or ladies alone. Also there are safety guards by beach. If you lay in hotel borders, they are not allowed to enter. They try to help you and ask for your visit to their shops for 5-1” euro souvenirs only.dont forget you are staying with 250-400euro/night; be generous. Average salady in Tanzania is 90-100 euro/month
4- sea and beach: very beautiful and clean. Even in low tides you cannot see any trash in the sea or beach. Be careful with sea urchines in low tide after 1km from beach. Masaii will help you
5-rooms r big & clean
My only comment might be daily trips and spa services; a bit overpriced.
Big thanks”

“The entire hotel staff are absolutely wonderful - they are always friendly and welcoming. They are really what makes this place great.
The buffet food was great and our room was wonderful. The rOom and hotel in general were immaculately clean. Even the beach along the nearby coast is crystal clear and clean.
would say the water for showering isn't great but I'm not sure there's a whole lot that can be done about that. The hotel is also quite far from Stone Town/the airport, so be prepared to booka lot of taxis if you have things to do on the west side of the island.”

“estremamente fastidiosi gli indigeni sulle spiagge... insistenti e pesanti... fortunatamente all'interno del resort non possono entrare... diventa davvero difficile farsi una passeggiata sulla spiaggia in tranquillità! ”

“The staff were lovely. A massive shout out to Innocent who served us during our romantic beach dinner and also went above and beyond the following night for beach buffet dinner. An honourable mention to Sufiyan or Sufiyani I cannot remember his name properly but really great service at Bar & Grill restaurant. Hotel amenities were great with good food at both buffet restaurants. Only downside was that they could not guarantee us late checkout, however, the use of the showers and changing rooms alleviated this. ”

“The hotel is well staffed and are always happy to help. The hotel and accommodation is very clean and is constantly kept clean. The pools are warm and relaxing. The Masai on the beach are warm and welcoming but can be a little full on at times, but hotel security are great at moving them along if you want to be left alone.
The food and entertainment are fabulous and range if all inclusive drinks are great. Spoilt for choice with restaurants and food.
I never go back to the same hotel, but this is one I would consider returning back to. ”

“Il resort è confortevole, una buona cucina con 4 ristoranti, camere ampie e pulite. Non mi è piaciuta la spiaggia perche sempre piena di alghe
Eccellenti escursioni con la guida locale 007zanzibar da seguire su intagram per eventuali contatti. Ti fa conoscere la vera Zanzibar a prezzi modici e le migliori spiagge in assoluto ”
