This isn’t just a stay; it’s an all-inclusive Dubai-style experience, and arguably the best villa experience on the island of Zanzibar. The General Manager, Lucas, was fantastic, and Malay and his team at the restaurants offered authentic, top-tier service. This place doesn’t just feel like a luxury getaway—it feels like home.

We loved everything!

The food was well seasoned and plentiful. ALL of the staff were simply amazing. I felt completely pampered and I would definitely return. Lastly, I felt at home.

I would like free shuttle service to and from the airport. Non-alcoholic beverages should be included in all meal packages. Your dessert menu could be more extensive.

I never leave reviews but I have to let people know about this place!! It’s easy to find but the road in could be better. Then you arrive and it’s incredible, the resort and villas are 5 star! You see the beach and how close it is and you never want to leave. The amazing staff have become friends, the owner is a top guy and very welcoming. I’m very sad to be leaving but look forward to coming back. Keith the chef put on a wonderful buffet lunch for guests I had joining me who were also blown away by the service. I highly recommend you choose this hotel if you are looking for luxury!

The road in is 2 miles and a little bumpy but nothing to worry about.

Clean. Lots of facilities. Very good and swift service. The nature around the property and the views are amazing. Big thanks to all the hotel staff for their kindness and hospitality. Special thanks to the hotel manager Ahmed, Keith, Harry, Juma Hassan and Ashura. I will visit the hotel again in the near future.

The place needs more activities and more movements.

Everything was exceptional! All Staff really do their best to make you feel like home. Chef Kieth thank you very much for the amazing food and the great hospitality. Harry & Atif are always there to help with anything we needed. The Villas are huge and a great example of what a 5 stars resort should be like.

Nothing at all!

Everything about this place was amazing. It was paradise! The staff were exceptional, very attentive and the manager was so accommodating. He made sure to provide us with recommendations to enhance our trip when we left the property and made reservations for a boat to pick us up at the property to swim with the dolphins and snorkel. We were traveling with our children and the staff were able to anticipate every need. The food was delicious and the grounds were beautiful. Everything about this place was spectacular!

I did not like the bugs. Lots of ants.

The rooms are amazing.  everyone working there was excellent.

Nothing at all . It was my fourth time in Zanzibar in this area, and this was the best resort .

The blue Lagoon villa was exceptional. The beach was perfect. The weather unfortunately didn't turn out well but the resort made up for it.

The drive from the airport was over 2 hours. The 6km road to the resort was very rough. The TV was not functioning properly.
