Friendly staff and great view. Perfect for relaxing. The beach was not my favorite by low tide. But the rest were great.

Beautiful hotel on the beach at the north end of Zanzibar. This beach was quieter than the west side of Nungwi. Less "beach boys" hassling you on the beach.
4.0
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.
2.0
Very nice scenery and nice design of the landscape. But I was met by s cockroach when I stepped in the room. The power went out every day for 1-2 hours and it was not always the hotel wanted to turn on the generator. I got food poisoning at dinner. The hammock infornt of the cottage was nice.

We stayed here for 5 nights.
Its a ti min walk to sentral Nungwi.
This place is great , its a good place to relax
We stayed in the family superior room seaview, this is a big room with a Nice balcony with seaview.
The bed is really hard but it was ok for a few nights for us.
The staff was great , thanks to Andrew in the bar , he is great.

I sent with my family and need two rooms, which we got in a shared appartment. Really nice and big rooms with privat bathroom and toilet. A great place. But a big minus was a generator right besides our room which was really noisy, and the water in the bath was only hot and almost mon existing … besides this … we really enjoyed our stay, great location, nice staff, great service, great breakfast … so 4,5 stars … and value for money.

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.

I stayed for 4 nights and my comments as follow:
* The room was very nice (spacious, very nice view "Mahaba 1", nice AC, hot water and coffee tray)
* The staff very friendly
*the beach is nice, but affected by tides, so the water going away sometimes during the day. 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.

Dynamic ocean front watching the expansive tides come and go under the over hanging deck!
Did not like workers waking me up at 7am with their chatter.... Some requests of the front desk were ignored...😐

Beautiful hotel, private and not surrounded by any other hotels, friendly staff, good food. Lush gardens and great sea views. Plenty to do in Nungwi. Swimming with turtles was amazing! Great experience to watch dhow builders perform their art with wood.
We booked an extra night at the hotel at good rates!

The staff is so friendly. They put nice touches on everything and make sure to constantly check on you. I left at 6am and they packed me breakfast without me asking. They have an on-site your company that provides quite a few of the memorable Zanzibar tours

Interesting bathroom set up in the rooms that werent individual lodges. No privacy due to open glass. Wasnt really an issue for us but could see it being an issue for other people. Everything else though was good, not a bad place to stay by any means. It was quite nice. If youre someone who likes to stay in the room maybe look elsewhere. We arent like that so it wasnt a problem.

Very relaxing ambience - our room Pemba had just been refurbished - new mosquito net, curtains etc and was very comfortable.Small nice pool area - great feeling of being next to the ocean. Relaxing bar area for sitting in the evening - but a happy hour would be good.Some more information about the catering needs to be provided - not enough information in the room.The reception was a bit casual - the account was miscalculated on checkout and the staff tried to say that it was not.
