We had a fantastic two nights here! We chose the hotel since we love pools and the they did not disappoint!

Special thanks goes to Masemo who was easily reachable via WhatsApp and was able to coordinate early check in, transit to and from the hotel, and a special Honeymoon welcome in our room. He made our stay feel truly a 5 star stay ❤️

The food was about what you’d expect from an all inclusive, we got breakfast there a couple times. Luckily the hotels location is close to many other off-resort restaurants so we were able to pretty easily walk north to Nungwi where there were some great restaurant options.

We wished we’d been able to stay longer, we only had one full day and we spent most of it on a boat tour. If we could do it again we’d add another night to enjoy the pools even more!

I stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful time. The place was clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect. But what really made it special was the service.

I want to thank Abdulrahman, who was super friendly and helpful. He always had a smile and made sure I had everything I needed. His kindness and professionalism stood out.

From check-in to check-out, Abdulrahman made my stay amazing. I highly recommend this hotel!

The hotel was nice with a wonderful spa. To me that was the best feature of the hotel. The grounds are beautifully maintained and the staff are friendly. My room was good with no issues. Beware the water is salty so you need to use bottled water.
The food is great with lots of choices.
I won’t lie the service for drinks is quite slow and they often forgot your order. I sort of felt like they weren’t prepared for larger groups. We were a party of 10. On the beach they are selling stuff like bracelets. They overcharge you for EVERYTHING!!! They prefer dollar but try to pay in their shilling.
I did have a great experience and I would probably go back again.

The resort is set on the northwest tip of Zanzibar island, overlooking a stretch of white-sand beach and the Indian Ocean.
