Beautiful, small hotel right by the calm beach. Very clean and well maintained. Fantastic pool and delicious food (amazing breakfasts with outstanding home-made jam). However, the best part is the staff. Extremely helpful and professional (but not intrusive nor pushy as oftenly on Zanzibar). Navena is super friendly and one of the best hotel managers I have ever met. Together with the team, she will make your stay very comfortable and relaxing. We highly recommend this place!
Please be mindful that apartments (not villas) have limited view at the sea.

Great service . Wonderful staff . Very helpful and kind managers. Family villa was comfortable ideal for family or two couples. The location is very quiet and beautiful. If not for the work, we will extend another week .
I stayed 7 nights we used the hotel restaurant every day . Breakfast was great, but after a few days, I needed something different than the usual menu .

the apartment was like in pictures, clean, spacious, nice view to the ocean ( just palm disturbed a little bit to much to the terrace)
Food - weak point of hotel ( we had poisoned with food - wife-2 times ( one of them shortly before way to airport, were sick for 12 hours( all way to airport and all flight) myself -2 times while staying- my advice avoid fresh fish and Benedict eggs, other food was good just sometimes to salty or oily, price of local wine overpriced 5 times)

Their villas are amazing. Great place to relax and enjoy your vacation away from touristic beaches and annoying sellers. The staff was very kind and always with a big smile.
Only negatives are the small food portions compared to ther price, the litthle bit expensive transfer rates and the not so good wifi connection.

it’s really nice and cozy located in a quiet place , which I really liked, no noises, no loud music, just nature sounds. so if you want to relax that’s your place. the property is clean , and is being cleaned and maintained throughout the day. hot shower, shower gel/shampoo is all available . the sockets are European, so you need adapter if you brought 3 pin chargers like in UK, I didn’t, but they borrowed me one breakfast is ok, dinner is really tasty and great variety of options the staff are really great, very helpful , honest and positive thank you guys for helping me with my foot! yes, bring the beach shoes with you, don’t even think of coming without beach shoes to Zanzibar.
beach , so there is no private beach , but there is direct access to it from the property. but if you want to swim you need to walk almost to the end of the beach to find the spot for swimming and frankly speaking the beach is dirty, the water is nice and clean and turquoise, but the beach is not.

The hotel was clean, inviting and on an absolutely stunning location on the beach. The facilities were always immaculately kept and we felt able to truly relax while here. The staff really made our experience and all were friendly and willing to work hard to make our stay as relaxing and stress free as possible. Special shout out to David, Mary and Zoe in the bar and restaurant who were fantastic! We had some issues with the air conditioning unit in our room and the management were quick to give us a solution which meant we could continue to enjoy our stay. The food in the restaurant was very tasty, and we thought reasonably priced considering the slightly remote location of the hotel. Because of this we enjoyed eating in the hotel most of the time. The drinks fridge was well stocked however the drinks could sometimes have been a little colder. In terms of activities this hotel makes a great base from which to explore the island, and the hotel was able to book reliable and safe travel around the island. We went snorkelling, swimming with dolphins, BBQ on a sand bank. Overall we really loved the location, the hotel was very clean and the staff really made our stay! A beautiful holiday and we are already looking forward to returning to Zanzibar and this hotel!
We found the beds a little hard for our taste, we would have liked an option to have a mattress topper.

Great place. beautiful Villa. very confortable and clean. very calm area of Zanzibar. great view. The garden and the area around the pool is very well maintained. At low tide you can see the fisherman fishing and woman harvesting the sea weeds. it is a great place to rest by the ocean and the service is great. The breakfast and the juices are so good
There were no sun beds on the beach, so it is difficult to enjoy the beach Clove island is far from the village and from any shops. Taxi is needed all the time.

The accommodation was spacious, modern but characterful and the location was outstanding. The balcony and downstairs terrace area were a bonus and it was great having a fridge and kitchenette. The air conditioning was really welcome, as were the mosquito nets. We were extremely pleased by the accommodation. The pool was a good size, with varying depths which made it suitable for all ages. The planting was very well conceived and perfectly pitched for a relaxed but luxurious Zanzibar vibe. The food was very good (extremely fresh) and there was plenty of variety. The prices were fair and the Happy hour (two hours!) every day was a lovely touch.
It would have been useful to have had some hangers and also more hooks to hang towels, but these were small issues and if we had raised them I am sure the staff would have done everything they could to have assisted us. It would have been helpful to know that the plugs were continental European style, rather than Tanzanian/3 pin plugs as we could then have brought our own adapters. However, this was not a problem as the hotel managers provided us with some to use.

Simply and beautifully decorated, rooms were sufficiently large and comfortable, and you can see the water from almost everywhere on the property. The AC worked perfectly. The grounds are meticulously maintained, the pool was very clean, and you have direct beach access. The food was just ok, but the overall ambiance in the restaurant was very pleasant and the service was very professional--the bartender also prepared good cocktails. The beach is typical of the eastern side of Zanzibar, with significant tides, but beautiful nonetheless. It's a quiet part of the island so there isn't much to do within walking distance, but this was a plus since it meant zero crowds.
