It was generally a very good experience. The beach was very good and so was dinner.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
One thing i wish was better was the Television services. We couldn't watch the news or get any channels we could watch. Only local channels were available and the TV in one of the rooms wasn't functioning well.

Los desayunos impresionantes, el trato del personal inmejorable, las instalaciones perfectas tienen dos accesos a una playa que está siempre vacía.
La habitación era pequeña, no tenía nevera y en general la estética no era muy alla, creo que se podía mejorar en general.

Frühstück war monoton aber dennoch lecker.

Beautifully situated right on the beach and within walking distance to many of the areas attractuons. We had a sea facing room and at high tide you can just about step out of your room straight into the sea. The grounds were so clean and pretty and the rooms lovely and spacious. The staff were so helpful and friendly - nothing was too much trouble. We loved being away from the busy strip of beach around the corner. Also, many thanks to the security guards for gently encouraging the "beach boys" to move on - we felt very safe and secure which allowed us to just relax and enjoy our surroundings even more.
The beds are very hard and uncomfortable. I must say, though, that on mentioning this to management, they immediately put two thick blankets on our bed. Though this made little difference, I do appreciate the effort. Although the breakfast and bar menu was perfectly adequate, the variety on offer can be improved.

La struttura è molto bella e pulita. In una zona tranquilla della costa.
Non vi è una spiaggia ma ci sono degli scogli, in occasione della bassa marea diventa balneabile ma con acqua bassa per un lungo tratto

I had two days to relax and this was THE place to do it. Absolute paradise, stunning views, with good food and drinks available onsite, a nice pool and beautiful beach just a few steps away. The rooms were very comfortable, with good AC and mosquito nets for the beds. The staff was very friendly. I stayed two days but just one overnight due to my fight schedule, so the staff kindly let me store my luggage and continue to enjoy the beach/pool facilities for the rest of the day. They also were able to help me send some postcards!

La vue était bien l’emplacement était à proximité de tout
On a pas aimé les chambres qui sentaient une forte odeur
Désagréable de bois moisi , la literie était hyper dure , Mal isolé porte qui fermait mal, on voyait beaucoup de jours , car les portes ont une vitre en haut donc beaucoup de jours dès le matin , les déjeuners, pas très copieux on pouvait déjeuner seulement jusqu’à 9h30 à 9h 31 on aperçoit les serveurs tout débarrasser on a pas trouvé le serveur très souriant, on avait un sentiment qu’il voulait vite qu’on s’en va souvent le départ est à 10h à 10h05 une équipe est venue pour nous dire de partir donc heures difficilement flexible
4.5 / 5.0
The position right on the sea with a quiet beach was one of the best in Zanzibar. Almost no hassling from local vendors like Kendwa Beach.
The owner & staff were very friendly & accommodating.
We had a loveky studio with 2 beds and a balcony overlooking the sea. The food was pretty good, especially the fresh bread & chocolate cake, and chicken curry. They overcooked the tuna, but in general, it was fantastic & we would happily return
5 min tuk tuk to other restaurants
Pizza Napolitano little restaurant near Mama Mia was incredible
I think the local chefs need to learn that tourists don't eat things like veg & chicken giblets for breakfast. Pity the room windows are small and colored, you can't see the gorgeous views through them.

une vue inoubliable. Le personnel d une grande gentillesse, grande chambre spacieuse., balcon avec une superbe vue. Très beau jardin, on s y sent vraiment bien.
Prix des consommations du bar et du snack vraiment exagérés, même prix quand France.
Un petit rafraîchissement des douches, du mobilier de jardin extetieur serait a prévoir car ils sont vetustes.

Odalar ve otelin peyzaji keyifli.
Erken check in yapacagimizi bildirmemize ragmen otele gittiğimizde odamiz hazir degildi. Iki kucuk cocukla sabahin 5inde oda ayarlamalarini bekledik. Yaklasik bir saat bekledikten sonra odamiz verildi. Odaya gittik ama odamiz kirliydi. Henuz check-out olan odayi vermisler. İçerisi çöp dolu, yataklar kirli kullanilmis ve banyoda havlular yerdeydi. Tuvalet cok kirliydi. Odamiz değiştirildi akabinde. Ilk izlenim kotu basladi yani. Daha sonra otelin restaurantinda yemek yerken garson olarak çalışan Fatima adli calisan disinda bir guler yuz sicak merhaba görmedik. 3 yasindaki cocugum catali yere düşürdüğü icin kendisinden bir daha yapmamasi uyarisini aldik. Asla bir tebessüm yok cocuklara karsi. Only adult konsepti olmaliymis otel. Ertesi sabah kahvaltidan cikarken elinde keki yiyen çocuğumdan keki disari cikaramayacagini soyleyip elinde yedigi yarim olan keki masaya birakmamiz uyarisini aldik. Ve keki aglayarak birakti 3 yasindaki oglum. Bunu yapanda aksam catallari yere düşürdüğü icin bana kizan ayni garsondu. Mr. Mohammed. Bir daha tercih etmem, kimseye de tavsiye etmem bu oteli. Çocuklu olanlara ozelliklede.

Nice and relaxed hotel. Off the main row of hotels/complexes so it is a little quieter. Friendly staff, quick check in, good WiFi. Loads of sunbeds for relaxing.
Food was a little basic, fine for a few nights but same lunch and dinner menu so not alot of variety after a few days of it.
We checked out at 5am and the whole hotel had no lights. Had to come down 2 flights of stairs in the dark with suitcases. Sensor lights would be a good idea.
5.0 / 5.0
The beachfront location is amazing, we didn't want to leave the hotel at all! We spend a week in Mnarani and would have stayed for another month if we could. One of the cleanest hotels we stayed in, in Tanzania. The bar has a pool table, darts, games and a TV where we were able to watch international sports. The staff are amazing, big shout out to Richard who took great care of us in the bar all week :)

location, hammock, friendly staffs,dry room, clean bathroom.
Although my family didn't dare swimming in the sea, the tide is too high🤣. But swim in the pool and enjoy the beautful ocean view is also interesting, especially you have a baby. When it's low tide you can find a lot of interesting little crabs on the beach.
I'm not complain about it. But if the bed were a bit larger with a square mosquito net, the room would be perfect

The staff was so helpful and friendly. The place was under renovation when we got there so we got bumped up to a sea view room which was amazing. The views were to die for. Breakfast was delicious and filling. The swimming pool was always clean and ready to use. You can walk straight onto the beach from the hotel at low tide. We're definitely going back there.

Quiet and peaceful. A little secluded. Great service.
There were ants in bed that came from the flowers they put on the bed. Far from the Nungwi beach area.
4.5 / 5.0
Fabulous hotel. Located slightly outside of the main Nungwi beach however, it’s perfect to chill out and relax. You can walk 15 minutes down the beach to where all of the restaurants are (when the tide is out). The staff are so lovely. Prices of drinks/food are reasonable too.
The AC isn’t the best so it can get very warm inside the room but it’s not unbearable.
3.5 / 5.0
Access to all necessities nearby, literally infront of the beach, the restaurant inside the hotel, beautiful swimming pool and great views if you take the Sea view room.
The shower seemed to have an issue releasing water and just as many have said; breakfast is literally bread and a bit of fruits, the bread seem to be a little “un-fresh”. It could be better to add more options.

The location is amazing and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Thank you Zuberi for your great service and genuine warm hospitality.
small insects crawling on the floor and bed made it a bit uncomfortable.
