I absolutely loved my stay. It was spacious with beautiful palm trees at the lower area where my room was. English breakfast was served and the food orders took max 30 minutes. It was quiet, serene and the beach beds were not as crowded as the neighboring hotels. It has the best beach area that forms a beautiful pool during the high tide and it was never crowded. Staff were very helpful and payments were paid with card or cash in USD and TZS conveniently. WiFi was a bit weak in the room but overall was accessible across the property and beach area. The room was big enough with all amenities. Pictures don’t do justice to this beautiful and leafy hotel. Will definitely return!

We stayed in one of the bungalows close to the beach, which I would highly recommend. The rooms up near the reception would require walking a steep set of stairs each time you wanted to use the pool, beach, bar or restaurant. Our bungalow was very nice with a front porch to sit on. The front desk staff was helpful with arranging boat tours and taxis. The beach in front of the resort is beautiful and very swimmable. There are great shaded chairs and beds to use while lounging near the beach. The swimming pool was large enough, but could use better maintenance. Many tiles are missing and the stairs do not have a handrail. I slipped on the slippery tiled steps and injured my head and leg.

Rooms need to be checked before check in . My room phone did not work so could not inform them of other things missing not working right away. Safe not working, AC not working for hours one day, missing no disturb sign. Needs a bedside lamp very dark at night. Hot water only last 5 mins. Love the property but these aould be easily fixed if checked

The overall stay was nice. Check-in and Check-out were very quick and straightforward. The room was nice and comfortable with both ventilator and AC, a small minibar. The wardrobe was only a hanger section, so no shelves for you to put you clothes but it wasn´t a big deal in my case. The bathroom had a leak and kept getting wet, but they fixed it throughout my stay. There was no wifi in my room, so because I had to work while there, I had to go to the restaurant area to use the wiFi. The food was decent and with good prices. The service from the beach staff and the bar were very good and friendly. cocktails were ok and the prices were a bit on the highside. It is a nice choice of stay if you want to relax in a big hotel with decent facilities, but if you´re looking to enjoy more the bach and what the island has to have and use the room basically to shower and sleep, you might consider a slightly cheaper accommodation, since this one despite being good, has nothing special.

NIce property but there really isn't anything to do within the property. No swimming pool when you can't swim in the ocean because of too much algea and jelly fish espevcially when it is too hot. Water temperature not well controlled. Could not get colder water for shower even if the hot water is turned off. No free drinking water provided in the room when their water is not safe for drinking. You have to buy yur water even at the restaurant. Restaurant food hit and miss. Breakfast selection not good. Only has egg for protein. They linit the amount of fruits ( ony 1 banana, LOL!) I wont recommend.
