Jag och min fru besökte hotellet under vår smekmånad i Tanzania. Detta hotell var helt nyöppnat och vi var väldigt skeptiska till hotellet när vi först bokade eftersom många av bilderna var genererade och inte faktiska foton... Men vi chansade och fick en superbra upplevelse. Allt var väldigt rent och fräscht och personalen var väldigt måna om att vi hade det bra. Vi blev uppgraderade till ett bättre rum än vi bokat eftersom det fanns tillgängligt och blev även bjudna på saker under vistelsen såsom vin till middagen och extra saker i vår minibar på rummet. Frukosten var bättre än de andra hotellen vi besökte på Zanzibar och i frukosten ingår bl.a. olika kaffesorter, mocktails, äggrätter och tilltugg som man kan beställa utöver buffén som ligger framme. Det enda som kunde varit bättre för oss är ett gym. Eftersom hotellet var helt nyöppnat så hade inte gymmet ankommit ännu men skulle komma inom 1 vecka sa personalen på hotellet.
