Beautiful property, feels unreal, my only disappointment was they got water from the shower, works for 1 minute and doesn’t work again.. breakfast was lovely, feels like the garden of Eden.

Very nice new hotel.

We stayed here for 3 nights during our trip around the island. The hotel is decorated really well and is very aesthetic which gives a good Zanzibar vibe. Nungwi beach is only a 5 minute walk BUT we personally preferred Kendwa beach but this is a 15 minute taxi trip. Rooms are clean and modern with great interior deco. All the staff were friendly and very helpful especially Nusra, she was amazing. We did have few minor issues during our stay but management was quick to resolve it. On our last day after we checked out, we headed out to the beach. The hotel stored our bags for us and when we returned from the beach to collect our suitcases they had a spare room which they let us use to shower and freshen up before heading to the airport which was very kind.
