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.

The upper unit was very spacious, comfortable and spotless. The management and staff are very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast is good and the others meals were very good including great pizza. We extended our stay as we liked it so much. Unfortunately, the beach (all hotels) has a litter problem.

Our stay was very pleasant. The rooms are very clean and the staff is very friendly. The beach is also clean and sublime. We only had one night but will definitely want a long stay next time.

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.

Large room and a lovely balcony with views of sea in distance. Great bar and restaurant area which did get quite noisy at night due to visiting tour groups. Easy to get a sunbed or hammock. Turquoise sea.

This hotel has large clean rooms right on the best beach in the island. Other hotels are far from the sea but this one has the best sunbeds in town with amazing views and an awesome non-expensive bar. Staff super friendly. No WI-Fi in rooms, but u got it at the beach/bar area. We def recommend it!

POSIZIONE OTTIMA DIRETTAMENTE SUL MARE CON SPIAGGIA VEREMENTE FANTASTICA , GENTE DEL LUOGO MOLTO GENTILE.

THE GOOD Lovely location on gorgeous wide beach Nice rooms with a bit of local character THE NOT SO GOOD - Food at the beachside restaurant is pretty poor and overpriced - why they don't fix the service and menu and make it great I can't understand. I'd recommend going next door to Kendwa Rock. - Internet is available at the restaurant and beach (not rooms), but it is painfully slow and essentially useless if more than a few people are using it. Certainly don't rely on it being available. Again, a relatively easy thing to fix to keep customers happy, but the management doesn't seem to care. - Service not particularly good or attentive - They often run out of beach towels - need to sort that issue - Beds are really quite firm to be that comfortable - the fan didn’t adjust (one speed only) - reported at the time - the phone didn’t work either - also reported (and known about but not fixed) - the shower not sealed and flooded the bathroom (reported) Basically the management need to take a good hard look and fix some issues with service, rooms, food and wifi to make it a great place and one of the best locations on Zanzibar

The stay was fine. There was no power when we arrived. Things were eventually sorted but when in Africa everything is pole pole which means slowly slowly! So be patient.

Amazing Beach right in front of hotel. Breakfast wasn’t so good

Location very good!! Beautiful Beach right in front of hotel. Breakfast needs to be improved

The location and beach area is the best. Not crowded, pleasant sunbeds and umbrellas. Wonderful garden. We stayed in building Lulu, which is one of the oldest in the development, therefore a bit worn down. Yet, beds were confi, room spacious, great segregated balcony with fantastic view to the Indian Ocean. Cleaning was okay, we even had an old AC, but did the job. Good value for money.

Spent 5 days here. The rooms were large and comfortable, the personnel really friendly, and the location is absolutely perfect! The restaurant is located at the beach and the food is okay considering the price.

A beautiful place to stay to enjoy the wonderful Zanzibar white beaches. They have a private beach so a very quiet atmosphere abounds! Plenty of space for everyone. Food is great at the restaurant....breakfast buffet is limited, but good. Rooms are nice and clean....bathrooms are a little worn, but plenty of hot water, Flushing toilets and a hair dryer!! Very nice staff.

The Good-Great Spot on Kendwa Beach-Very Friendly Restaurant and Bar Staff-Cheapest Beers on the Beach-Good Security-Clean RoomsThe Bad-Salt Water Showers Can Give the Rooms a Very Unpleasant Smell-The Breakfast is OK But was the Exact Same Everyday (red beans, fried potatoes, little fried bread treats, eggs, fruit, and bread)-The Road to the Hotel is in Horrible Shape-Beds Extremely FirmOverall it is an ok deal for the price but not the best.

The bungalows on the beach are indeed preferable. The beach is gorgeous and wide open and is frequented by the locals for soccer games, volleyball, and trying to drum up business for cheaper snorkeling trips and of course trinkets. The beach Maasai that every resort/hotel employs act as guards, and the locals (the Maasai are not local) know that they are not allowed to come too close to the hotel premises and if you just say no thank you, the hawkers will leave you alone. We did sign up with one of these sketchy snorkeling trips to Mnemba island, and it turned out great (and was $50 less than Scuba Dos). If you are staying down in a beach room, and you are over 30 (ie: dont tend to party until 4am), you might want to bring along some earplugs for sleeping. The dance party (in peak season) with DJ is only one night a week at Kendwa Sunset (Fridays, I think), but the next night and the night after are DJ dance parties at the neighboring hotel, Kendwa Rocks (which has a cover charge for non-guests, btw); needless to say, itll probably keep you up unless youre already obliterated yourself, or you have earplugs.The food is decent, but not as good as at the pricier hotels and at Kendwa Rocks, but its not terrible. The room amenities are sparse. No water; the tap water is barely desalinated, so you really need to buy bottled water -- there are bodegas up in Nengwe where you can stock up for cheaper. Soap bars only. No beach towels. No bathtub.

When I booked this the reviews were quite bad - so after staying in Stone Town for a couple of nights I was a bit worried about this accommodation. NO NEED - We arrived to a great welcome from the hotel staff & were given a room right on the beach - Very clean room and great English type mattress. The room was close to the bar area but far enough away so we were not disturbed. The Breakfast was disappointing as was always cold & the Trainee Staff were quite rude at times but the employed staff were fantastic.
