Paradise on earth

What you want in a lodge and more! The experience was prefect! The staff made you feel like the place was built just for you! The food was first class and pretty fancy! If I ever need just need a time to unwind and relax it will be here!

4/10 Fair

The resort is so beautiful and located on one of the best beach fronts of Zanzibar however, the service was terrible one of the worst check in/out experiences they are very slow and made so many mistakes in our bill we had to spend 45min during check out. The rooms cleaning are not really good and I had to go back to them several times to re do the work. The food is below average .. its really a shame that services were not up to the standards of this beautiful property

8/10 Very good

Overall a gem but not the paradise it could be.

Top quality result with understated but top quality accommodation, excellent food and outstanding customer service from all members of the team. I could not rate it overall a top score because one element spoilt the total experience for us. The beach is white sand, with clear waters, but certainly not relaxing much of the time. With good reason the beach is not private. Given that it is one of the best on the island, therefore there are a lot of passing visitors. The hotel does restrict them from coming in to the property. The issue is the conveyor belt of hawkers trying to sell. They stand looking at the guests on the sunbeams, and as soon as you go for a swim, pounce on you. Add to this, impromptu african dance routines (again looking for tips), and jet skis. A great beach for people watching, but not the best a lot of the time for total relaxation and to enjoy the beauty. Not, I would stress the hotels fault. We felt that the whole threat of over tourism is a big problem on the island and needs to be addressed urgently by the Government.

Amazing services added to the property. Eco friendly. Beach amazing. Just when we asked for milk to the room they did not bring it. Food is not that great at the buffet restaurant. Gym is not a gym, some outdoor park that needs work. Security is great at the beach. Service with drinks are great. Evening sunset experience is fantastic. Resort and room and plantation is to die for. My favorite beach in Zanzibar.

10/10 Exceptional

The rooms and property are beautiful and every staff member was super friendly and attentive. The only downside is if you leave the property and take a walk on the beach you are hounded by people trying to sell you crap. One guy literally followed me for miles. I would go back in a heartbeat but wouldn’t leave the property.

10/10 Exceptional

The property was EXACTLY as it appeared on the website. Beautiful grounds, including the spice garden. HUGE bungalows and being surrounded by beautiful foliage. Clean beach and easy access to the ocean. Great staff. Two blue monkeys resident in the trees. GIANT African snails all over. The food was so good. Menus changed often and I was there for one week. Accommodating staff make arrangements to see things away from the property such as tours of Jozani Forest, Stone Town and Prison Island to see the giant tortoises.

Schönste Hotelanlage

Die Hotel Anlage war wunderschön und sauber, das Hotelpersonal war unglaublich nett. Wir würden auf Fall jedem dieses Hotel empfehlen. Das einzige was uns nicht gefallen hat, war dass wir die Softdrinks extra kaufen mussten. Zumindest zum Abendessen sollte ein Drink inkludiert sein.
