If you try to understand the local lifestyle and the circumstances of the poor local people you will realize very quickly that this hotel is a real heaven in this area. After we landed our plane and started to get the hotel we were shocked by the circumstances. The houses and roads are in very bad condition, lots of poor people and rubbish on the streets. But this is Zanzibar, and nobody told you to come here. It was your own decision because you wanted to explore Zanzibar, I think. Even if it is not similar to your own lifestyle. After we got the hotel, the staff welcomed us friendly with a welcome drink. We had some misunderstanding about the half board accommodation because you can choose more possibilities like only breakfast included or half board. We checked the reservation together and it was not a problem anymore. I realized the wifi will not be enough for home office and I told this matter to Mr. Munisi (hotel manager) who immediately sent somebody to buy me a mobile data card. I got that within a few minutes. Btw, we never could ask anything which he couldn't solve. Change money, have an ice cream for dinner, have a food which is not on the menu, call a taxi, need more towels, give me advice for sights or tours worth visiting etc, etc. Specially thanks for him to makes our vacation so pleasant and unforgettable. Other staff are very friendly and helpful one by one, as well. Always pay attention to our needs. We always got professional service. Perfect hospitality. The room and the hotel are very clean. Cleaning every day in the room and the pool (several times a day), the garden. The food was excellent, including traditional and international food. It doesn't matter what you choose, it will be delicious. Thank you CHEF. We felt ourselves completely safe but have to admit we didn't walk in the village, only on the ocean's coast. At the end we decided to cancel our reservation in Stone Town and stay here 4 more nights. it was a good...

Everything was just perfect here: the location, facilities, staff, super fresh (sea)food, atmosphere, the pool, the pergola shades with sunbeds, outside shower and (last but not least) the beach. Very quiet place too. Free wifi everywhere, towels for the sunbeds, drinks served at the pool, you name it. If we make it back to Zanzibar we will for sure come back here.

This is a beautiful boutique style hotel. The staff is very friendly. The beach setting and the rooms are beautiful but the best is the food. We had half board and there were always delicious choices on the menu board. It's not the cheapest place but the food is fresh, nicely spiced, altogether the best food we have had during our stay in Tanzania. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Its also a good choice if want to be close to the dive schools. They provide free pick up from the hotel.

Great large room with an amazing view over the ocean. Idyllic setting. Very friendly staff. Good food for breakfast and all other meals. Highly recommended for a short stay.
