The room was beautiful, very private, and had access directly to the beach. We enjoyed cycling around the resort. The beach bar, and pontoon bar were great. The activities (paddle boarding, sailing etc.) directly from the resort were a lovely bonus.

The opening hours for the bars and restaurants were quite strict. Bars closed at 6pm, but dinner didn't start until 7.30pm (which was quite late for us who are used to eating early). The diving / fishing on site didn't seem particularly professional or informed. The food was ok, but repetitive (the al a cart meal was actually the same as the buffet just served in a differnt form). None of the food blew us away, and unfortunately because of the location we didn't have the choice to try anywhere else. Drinks were VERY expensive ($17 for one shot of gin +$5 for the tonic as an example).

The place in the middle of nowhere

It is not value for the quality. At that price everything has to be perfect while the quality is little bit more than African standard.

From the time we stepped into the property, we knew we were in the perfect place. Calm, peaceful with the sound of birds to greet you as soon as you walk into the reception. The staff are absolutely out of this world- their kindness was remarkable. I find it hard to mention all the names here, as each and every single member of staff was exceptionally warm and helpful- to find this is extremely rare. Benjamin helped us out in literally almost everything- including arranging for some medication and testaments for our baby girl. Nitin, the bar manager helped arrange a custom baby chair for her as well and checked on us everyday. The general manager himself lent us the baby chair from his house- it was a truly heartwarming gesture.The property itself is green, lush, luxurious and absolutely opulent. Going for bike rides was something we looked forward to as the beautiful Zanzibar breeze lifted us away into a magical world of nature and its bliss. The backyard pool only steps away from the sea was something we absolutely loved as well. Now coming to the food- the food was magnificent and the service in both restaurants more than perfect. Service with a smile all the way! We looked forward to the meals while we walked down or biked down to the restaurant- anticipating what would be on offer that day :) Grill station was OMG ! The dinner entertainment was also carefully selected- not too loud, just right and very very enjoyable! We will miss this stay for a long long time, no matter where we go, there was something uniquely beautiful about the place.

That they were sold out for the rest of our time in Zanzibar- and we couldn’t stay longer. This is just a small suggestion- please switch to paper take away boxes unless you reuse the plastic ones. And for the coconut trees just above the pool- do remove the coconuts from time to time to avoid accidents.

L hotel est digne de complexe occidentaux. Les équipements, les villas, et le personnel sont au top. Malgré des ingrédients de qualités, la sauce ne prends pas.

Renseignez vous bien, l'hôtel est loin, très loin de tout. Les espaces sont larges, et grands, on se déplace en vélo d'un point à l'autre. Mais ceci est aussi le principal point faible. Il.n y a pas d âme, pas d'ambiance chaleureuse, peu d'activités proposées, tout est très cher. Aucun fonds musical au restaurant, un exemple : les qoirs ou il y a un groupe live, il est installé de l'autre côté de la piscine , soit à plus de 20m des clients..dommage, car le groupe est top, mais l'énergie n'est pas ressentie. En bref, tout est de très haute qualité, mais assez mal pensé au final. Pas d âme, pas d énergie, de grandes espaces vides sans vie. Nous sommes partis au bout d'une nuit, même si nous n'avons pas été remboursé du reste de séjour... Je déconseille.

Situation géographique et du bungalow même Très sympa de tout faire à vélo Le bar sur le ponton avec de magnifiques couchers de soleil

Il pourrait y avoir qqs fruits chaque matin gratuitement Et une possibilité d acheter qqs snacks pour ceux qui veulent rester à leur bungalow

Very private and private pool was good to have , staff were excellent

There were ant infestations everywhere and more critters and bugs than we are used to from our prior trips to Africa

the size of the rooms

The prices are too high and on top of the hotel money they also chatge additionally for water , drinks etc

The room is wonderful. The private pool is very nice. The resort is massive with many facilities and activities to pass your time. You can spend your full stay without having to leave the hotel. The food is nice and great variety to choose from. Staff are friendly and welcoming.

The monkeys are a serious issue in this hotel. There are warnings and precautions mentioned in leaflets and on the glass door of the villa. We did not enjoy much of our time in the private pool of the villa as we couldn’t leave snacks outside by the pool. We had daily encounters with the monkeys by the private pool. We witnessed the monkeys entering the villa next to us and we could hear the woman inside scream for a good 10-15 mins before anyone came to help. We called reception and informed of what happened and that the monkeys were outside our pool area too, they said they’ll send security but no one came. Luckily the pool cleaner came and we sent him to help the woman in the villa next to us. We have also requested a secluded private pool as my wife is muslim. However the pool was clearly visible to the neighboring guests from the side of the pool and to the staff from the back as well. The only reason we chose to stay in this resort is the “private” pool but out private pool experience is disappointing to say the least.
