The location was great! Away from the beach boys and quiet. Bathroom had no roof so was open to the whole room and stairs to the upper bed were very steep. Shower was questionable but we had a great time and the staff were attentive.

5 Stars: the view was amazing. The staff extremely friendly and helpful. Rooms very clean! 4 stars: Location. Restaurant food was delicious. 3 Stars: price for the room was reasonable. 2 Stars: drinks at the bar were very watered down. 1 Star: horrrible spa facility. I stopped my massage after 20 minutes because the masseuse was that bad. It was supposed to be a deep tissue massage and ended up being a horrible massage. Every service here is designed to overcharge you. The laundry service was too expensive. You can get wayyy cheaper taxis and tours if you book outside of the hotel. Late check out is $10 an hour. Overall, this is not a bad place to stay at as long as you don’t get any of the hotel’s services. It felt like they prioritized profit over comfort for guests. If you stay here, book all your needs elsewhere and you’ll have a good time at the hotel.

This will not be a repeat visit for me. It started with the front desk. Instead of a warm welcome we were greated with "passports?" The rooms were clean but dated. The free breakfast extremely lacking in variety and flavor. The paid food was decent but overpriced for the area. Hard mattresses. Some of the staff, the women, were great and friendly. We did one onsite excursion with a sunset Dhow cruise which was overcrowded and expensive. The cost of this place is definitely not worth it.

Deluxe room was more of a suite with separate kitchen area, bathroom & bedroom, Large balcony with both chairs and a twin hammock. Not plush by European standards but quite nice anyway. AC was great, wifi was good, food was good. A couple of silly rules, IE outside drinks will be confiscated but a nice stay.

Our cottage was clean with good hot water and A/C. It was a quiet location on the beach. Food was good. The aquarium where you can swim with sea turtles in a natural lagoon is across the road. I enjoyed the hammocks on the property. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Also the management need to watch the guest behavior with the shades and sun beds as during our stay we found some people putting their towels to reserve place and going to use other area of the beach or using the pool!! * The breakfast limited choices with acceptable quality. * The dinner set menu and tasty "compliments to the chef" * The area very rough.

The place is fine for the price. Rooms are basic but functional (hot water, air con etc). The location is a little distant from Nungwi nightlife but most guests are probably looking for that. Breakfast is a little disappointing at most Nungwi hotels but this place is slightly above average in the breakfast stakes.
