Fantastic hotel

Fantastic stay and lovely hotel. Still some building works ongoing but didn’t really impact our stay too much. Great entertainment in evening and food was good. Animation team day activities could be improved as never really tell you what’s on and where and most of the time the activities never even happen despite seeing loads of animation team around the hotel.

It’s far away from the loud streets of Stone Town and the crowded, popular beaches. Tucked away is this quaint resort that has a pool, seaside bungalows, and 2 restaurants. The buffet was great every day with many varied foods. The girl is on the east side and not too far a drive to mist day trip destinations. The staff were very friendly and tried their best to please. Once in a lifetime experiences and then a cozy, comfortable place to come back to…..nice!

The food, the service and the amenities were very good. It is a beautiful property and the staff are so helpful. There was some noise from the construction next door but we didn’t really notice it very much. The company running the diving and snorkeling excursions on the property were very organized and professional. There was entertainment 2 of the 4 nights we stayed. The Italian dinner night on the beach with dancing on Saturday night was a nice treat and the acrobats on the Friday night was great entertainment.

A fantastic hotel with the most exceptional, friendly staff I have ever met. So many to mention but here are a few notable names, Yuseph, Devoth, Victor, Erastus, Kulvert, King, Marwa, Vinoth. They could not do enough for you, and on the exceptional occasion they didn't (probably due to minor misunderstanding of English) they do their damdest to put it right. Buffet food was fantastic with so much available choice for breakfast, Lunch and dinner. Loved the array of fresh fruit, homemade jams and coffee was delicious. Cleaning of rooms and delivery of water each day was great too.Also particularly enjoyed the evening entertainment particularly the the acrobats.
