Right on the beach. We stayed in the two bedroom villa which had its own pool. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location is lovely especially for snorkelling and reef walks.

Nothing significant - just two little irritations. We were provided with 1l of drinking water a day. Thereafter we had to pay, so buy water before you arrive - it’s considerably cheaper at the shops! Same applies to tea bags and powdered milk if you want more than a cup a day.

Beautiful location

There is slats in the door where many mosquitos get it at night. The staff close a mosquito net over the bed, but they leave the light on attracting even more bugs to the room. Additionally, the Menus are very limited. There is one 3 options each day, and you can only order off that days menu. I'm vegetarian meaning I only had one option each night and was forced to go else where when I didn't want the option.

This is a wonderful hotel with a local spirit (architecture, shows). The situation is nice, quiet (this place is less crowded than other part of the beach). People working at the hotel are very kind and helpful. A special mention to Joshua. Meals were great and the breakfast amazing. The room (Oyster villa) was fantastic: typical, beautiful, well furnished.

I think the only one drawback is due to the orientation of the coast as swimming is depending on the tight.

We stayed in the beachfront Villa which was perfect for our young family (1 and 3 year old) for 7 nights. It was clean, spacious, private and a great location just a few steps away from the beach! The hotel grounds were very well maintained too. It was very relaxing and peaceful. The staff were were all very warm and welcoming - and our children felt very at home, as did we! Special thanks to all the staff, Tatu, Jyoce, Ibrahim, Jisht- everyone was very kind and helpful. We had a car so we could get around - the property was a good base to visit Nwungi from. We would love to come back and we hopefully will!

Perhaps more options at lunch / dinner, as we stayed here for 7 nights. Sea urchins on the beach - however the hotel does provide special shoes if you want to walk at low tide on the beach.

Lovely location on the beach. Quiet and peaceful. If one desires a bit more excitement or activity, there are places nearby that can be visited. Love that there are free bicycles and swimming shoes available; the bikes are in surprisingly good shape and can be used to ride on the beach or in the nearby village. Joshua, the guest relations manager, was extremely helpful, including allowing us a late checkout on our day of departure. The rest of the staff are very friendly and helpful, too.

The swimming is not good at low tide, particularly because of sea urchins but the pool is a pleasant alternative.

Friendly staff Good location The nice welcome and personal walkthrough of the property The beds were very comfy Personalised touch The dive center is just a 5mins walk so if you are diving its a great location

We asked for a room upstairs which couldn’t be arranged.

The staff were brilliant, our room was spotless, the bed was so comfy I want to know where it's from. The hotel is much more beautiful in real life than It is in pictures.

nothing

Everything was very good. The restaurant had a lot of choice on the menu. Room was very good

A staffmember at the restaurant was very very very slow. But that’s how people in zanzibar are so that’s not a big problem

We had a Wonderfull stay at the hotel with my husband and kids. The staff is super nice and helpful. The location of the hotel is breath taking.

The food from the hotel isn't great, specially if you stay for 4-5 days, a lot of meals are not available and the hotel cannot provide any fresh fish, which is a bit sad when you are right on the beach, full of Fishermans! Breakfast were great!

Breakfast is A La Carte, but they have a variety. Have a special dish everyday for Lunch and Dinner (if you plan to eat in the Hotel.) Very good and helpful staff

Room layout can be better.
