My husband and I were choosing between this hotel and another one. We almost didn’t choose this one because it was new and had very few reviews, but we’re so glad we did – what a hotel! The surroundings were absolutely beautiful, with direct access to the beach. It was the perfect place to completely relax and slow down. The guys in charge of the sports activities were incredibly helpful and really went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Breakfast was also great – it had everything you could ask for, and we didn’t feel like anything was missing. On top of that, the hotel had just gotten its own beautiful boat, which guests could go out on. We loved everything about this place and would definitely come back.

Jag och min fru besökte hotellet under vår smekmånad i Tanzania. Detta hotell var helt nyöppnat och vi var väldigt skeptiska till hotellet när vi först bokade eftersom många av bilderna var genererade och inte faktiska foton... Men vi chansade och fick en superbra upplevelse. Allt var väldigt rent och fräscht och personalen var väldigt måna om att vi hade det bra. Vi blev uppgraderade till ett bättre rum än vi bokat eftersom det fanns tillgängligt och blev även bjudna på saker under vistelsen såsom vin till middagen och extra saker i vår minibar på rummet. Frukosten var bättre än de andra hotellen vi besökte på Zanzibar och i frukosten ingår bl.a. olika kaffesorter, mocktails, äggrätter och tilltugg som man kan beställa utöver buffén som ligger framme. Det enda som kunde varit bättre för oss är ett gym. Eftersom hotellet var helt nyöppnat så hade inte gymmet ankommit ännu men skulle komma inom 1 vecka sa personalen på hotellet.
