Loved the pool, garden & super-relaxed environment

Lovely place to stay. Room was basic but clean and cool. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The pool area and garden are just pefect, especially the part under the palm trees.

Excellent family run hotel on the beach.

great stay with the staff and facilities excellent and the location right on the beach. Breakfast was good and they have a basic menu for lunch and evenings, although it does take time to order and arrive. A great little family run hotel at a reasonable price.

Hyggeligt lille hotel, som ligger mellem Jambiani og Paje. Service og rengøring på hotellet var helt i top. Morgenmaden er rigtig god, men resten af menukortet halter lidt. Vi valgte istedet at spise på de omkringliggende hoteller. Stranden har mange sten og tang, så det var rigtig godt at have en pool.

Piscine bienvenue lorsque la marée est basse.

Séjour agréable et reposant après une semaine intense de safari dans les parcs de Tanzanie. Petite structure donc pas trop de monde et pas trop de bruit. La plage est privée, on n'est pas harcelé par les beach boys qui proposent souvenirs ou excusions. La piscine est bien entretenue et bienvenue lorsque la mer s'est retirée. Les abords très fleuris sont agréables. N'hésitez pas à vous promener sur la plage, au nord vers Paje ou au sud vers le village de Jambiani. Le personnel est fort sympathique et les cocktails bien servis !
