Partendo dal presupposto che se si viene nella zona sudest di Zanzibar si predilige il relax piuttosto che la "movida' del nord, lati positivi del resort sono le dimensioni ridotte e quindi tutto molto vicino e a portata di mano senza trascurare la tipicità del luogo, ristorante/bar alla carta di buona qualità con prezzi giusti, personale cordiale e buona pulizia. Aspetti negativi, nessun servizio organizzato, ne diurno ne serale per intrattenere in qualche modo il cliente e la parvenza di poco sicuro al di fuori delle mura perché immerso in un villaggio di capanne locali. Se scegliete questo è perché volete assoluto relax e meglio senza bambini, potrebbe essere benissimo categorizzato in adult only (questo un mio consiglio per il resort)

Hotellet med den beste maten.

Fantastisk service, og Zanzibars beste restaurant, litt dårlig vanntrykk når alle dusjer på ettermiddagen, men ellers fantastisk og rolig hotell.

Enkel rom i rolig omgivelse

Fantastisk hyggelig personal, maten var bra i Restaurangen som var åpen hele dagen. Rommen er enkla kun med seng, nattbord, innbygd hylle og gratis safe og uteplass eller balkong. Stranden er ikke det beste men det går å bada. All innredning er lokalt tilvirket enkla men helt ok. Likte best at det var rolig og stille på hotellet. Litt tungvint system når man vil ha rommet rengjort då måtte man levere nøkkelen til resepsjonen. Kommer gjerne tilbake.

L’hôtel est incroyable. Il est intimiste, au bord de plage et le personnel est tout simplement aux petits soins. Pour avoir dîner dans plusieurs autres hôtels, je ne regrette aucunement mon choix. Le restaurant est très bien. La masseuse Anna est incroyable. Chambre nettoyée tout les jours si vous le souhaitez. Rien à redire.

Perfekt för avkoppling

Hotellet var helt underbart, god mat, fräscht på rummet och allmänna utrymmen, trevlig personal. Ett extra plus var sällskapsspelen dom hade i restaurangen som man fick låna gratis.
