Bra läge och och skulle kunna vara ett fynd.

Bra läge vid stranden men anläggningen behöver lite kärlek och omtanke för att verkligen vara värd pengarna. Personalen gjorde allt med ett leende och allt genomfördes som på de flesta ställen i Zanzibartempo. Pole pole bör vara ditt mindset för att inte bli besviken. Frukosten var engelsk frukost och höll standardnivå. Tyvärr verkade det ofta bli lite rörigt för köket då ordningen som beställningar gjordes i inte var den ordning som maten kom ut i. Standarden motsvarar tre stjärnor och vill man ha ett större frukostutbud än olika varianter av ägg, frukt och toast så finns det bättre men dyrare alternativ i närheten.

Budget alternative with minimum of service

It was okay, nothing more. Good price, but the food was average and the service was slow. Nice pool area and access to beach. Room was good, but there is no wifi there, only in the reception and restaurant/pool. Be aware it is a non-alcoholic bar, so having a drink by the pool is not possible. Lots of very nice hotels with great bars and good restaurants on both sides.

Vackert beläget hotell med trevlig personal

Fint, rent och välhållet hotell alldeles vid en vacker långsträckt vit strand med trevlig personal. Frukosten var medelmåttig. Middagen startade för sent, 19:30.
