Hotel was closed for renovations and they didn’t inform us before we arrived. We had to look for an alternative place to stay at night and Expedia was not helpful either with finding another hotel. I would never recommend this place because of the lack of communication and inconvenience caused!

Great pool, but not a great beach

Our family stayed here 3 nights. The pool was great and so was the bar. It is a very secluded, small resort. It would take quite a while, and a driver, to go eat away from the resort. They have various meal packages which include, or don't include drinks. The beach is not swimmable, and not very sightly due to the amount of seaweed. But, if you look beyond the beach to the water and horizon, it's beautiful. They offer a boat ride Mon, Wed, and Fri to another beach to swim. The restaurant is outdoors, but covered. Rooms have individual AC units. We spent most of our time at the pool, or relaxing in a hammock.

You can also find at the hotel a guide how can arrange your excursion around the island at a very good price. We fully recommend this hotel and look forward to returning soon. Mr Christopher

Information about the area

Zanzibar Archipelago, Tanzania

Zanzibar is a semi-independent archipelago located off the coast of Tanzania, composed of Zanzibar Island or Unguja, Pemba Island, and numerous smaller islands. Zanzibar is a blend of Arabic, Indian, and African cultures. There's a wealth of sights to see and activities to partake in on Zanzibar Island. First and foremost, make sure to enjoy the stunning white sand beaches, particularly on the north, east, and south coasts. The sand is as fine as caster sugar. Zanzibar also boasts a number of caves, such as Tazani near Nungwi. Be sure to take a village tour, which are available all across the island. The market in Stone Town, the captivating capital, is one of the largest and most lively open-air markets you'll find anywhere. Zanzibar is as good as it gets. With beautiful beaches, historic architecture, friendly locals, and affordable services, both adventure and relaxation await you.
