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

Sehr schönes Hotel und nicht zu groß. Die ste verteilen sich gut auf dem Komplex. Es war bei uns nirgends überlaufen. Es herrscht überall eine entspannte Atmosphäre. Es gibt immer freie Liegen am Strand oder am Pool. Das Personal st sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Essen ist sehr gut und abwechslungsreich. Sehr Empfehlenswert!

10/10 Exceptional

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!

Service impeccable, personnel souriant, attentionné et toujours aux petits soins pour les clients. J’ai eu un enjeu de santé et j’ai reçu un excellent soutien et toute l’attention nécessaire. Merci à toute l’équipe!
Michel, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Gareth, 8-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Susrat Jahan, 7-night trip

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

We had a great stay at this very nice resort. Staff offers fantastic service, allways smiling and friendly. We booked two connecting rooms for 5 persons, however the rooms had only 4 beds. This was of course a bit inconvenient. Overall, we had a very pleassant stay.
