It’s a really nice please to stay, great location with proximity to the airport and town. Easy to connect to all the beach areas. The rooms were quite spacious and neat. The staff were very amazing special shout-out to Jacqueline, Nahda, Modesta, Cast and pretty much everyone at the restaurant. Amazingly beautiful view from the rooftop restaurant. Would definitely visit again.
I have a case of food poisoning at the hotel and the manager wasn’t very helpful. Whoever the manager is needs to do better. Internet wasn’t so great, kept going off at different times. Got stuck in the elevator severally cos the electricity kept going off. And there was no mirror in the room I stayed in.

The hotel is beautiful and very modern. The view was exquisite and the location convenient and more quiet than Stone Town. The menu had a bit more options but no alcohol and the food was decent.
Menu could have alcoholic drinks.

Very helpful staff
This hotel will need investment in maintenance or renovation. Many small things, to give just one example: The room doors should close by themselves, but the mechanism only closes the doors almost but not completely.

Cosy Hotel Just Outside Stonetown A hotel with beautiful people and great hospitality. From Mr Ibrahim at the front desk to Mr Collins and Mr Mandela at the dinning area, all the staff were always smiling and ready to help. Not only did we enjoy a variety of options to partake of for breakfast, but also had enjoyed a clear view of the ocean. A cleaning swimming pool and lounging area that is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sunshine and breathtaking sunsets. We wish the hotel and their staff a happy new year and all the best for 2025
As a South African Muslim our standard of cleanliness is very high, therefore I suggest that the hotel pays a little more attention to the finer details. There is also a South African flag on the property which is upside down, I did bring it to the hotels attention and hopefully they change it around. More water in the room would be appreciated due to the heat.

Beautiful ocean view. Great aircon cools the room very well. Sunset dinner in the top floor restaurant was beautiful. Very professional staff. Exceptional food (best I've had on my stay). Breakfast buffet was amazing with lots of variety. Super comfy bed! Lovely big and clean shower.
The windows were stained from the ocean spray, so you don't have a clear view with the windows closed. Not facilities other than gym, swimming pool and restaurant - would appreciate something to do at the hotel. Sunset in summer boils the top floor restaurant. Too frequent room cleaning was interrupting when we were relaxing.

Excellent service.. Staff were very hospitable and often asked for feedback about our experience. They value guest satisfaction and went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable. The location is perfect, close to town but not in the thick of it, allowing a more relaxed atmosphere. The sea view was breathtaking: music selection exceptional. Their best feature for sure is the food. We were treated to scrumptious mouth-watering breakfasts every morning we always looked forward to. Our lunches and dinners at the restaurant were also delicious. I would recommend this hotel very highly and would stay here again when visiting.

The resort was very clean, housekeeping did a very good job. Food wasn’t bad and the staff was very friendly, helpful and always smiling. Thank you Saimon, Hussan and Joyna, seeing your smiling and welcoming faces is golden. Stay blessed
Housekeeping did show up at odd hours to spray the rooms. Please try and replace the shower gel containers instead of topping them up as the one in my room was mouldy and plunger wasn’t working. Also take note of the shower glass as they did not shut completely. And l personally think the resort will be more accommodating with double glazed windows to shut off the outside noise.

The facilities and swimming pool were wonderful. The shower was beautiful and warm. The view from the rooftop restaurant was exceptional and the food was good.
The staff was a bit intrusive and overly attentive. It would've been nice to know that alcohol was not allowed since it's a Muslim chain of hotels.

The hotel called us in advance of our arrival to reconfirm our booking and our requests since we were travelling with young children and or check in was a late night check-in. Check in process was very quick and smooth and the staff who met us were well informed. Our rooms were very clean and the 12 noon check out time came in quite handy. The staff were also friendly and assisted us to obtain last minute transportation to our next destination. Special thanks to Pauline and her colleagues.
Our stay was only for a few hours. Unfortunately, during our visit, the lift was under maintenance hence we had to use the staircase to our floors but the staff assisted with our bags. We also used the staircase the next morning to the 5th Floor for breakfast. Whilst this was quite okay.... the floors had just been mopped and not properly dried which was a little tricky. Once the lift is fixed (may have already been fixed by now)... this would not be a problem.
