    limited dining options
    room maintenance

    The reception team offered a refreshing glass of watermelon juice upon arrival. The two-bedroom suite was well-furnished with premium bedding and other comfort features. The Saturday night dinner by the pool was good, with a chance to enjoy local delicacies.

    The dining options could be better.

    dining options

    Our family had wonderful memories exploring beautiful Zanzibar with the help of the dedicated tour desk here. Plus, we were really surprised with a sea view room. The pool area is perfect for chilling out after a long day.

    In my wife's opinion, better dining options would enhance the stay.

    Lovely modern hotel in Zanzibar with well-mannered staff in a fair satisfactory manner. Nicely furnished room, local and exceptionally good breakfast. Big bed, very early check-in. Location right by the prison island from there, stone town and supermarkets and the coast of Mwemba Island. 5 minutes walk to Sultan's Palace.

    Decent Stay But Room for Improvement

    The view from our room was fine, and the pool area provided a refreshing escape. Although the dining options were limited, we enjoyed the local flavors. Considering transportation arrangements ahead of time is crucial due to the distance from Stonetown. A good place for families.

    excellent restaurant service
    unreliable wi-fi

    The service at the restaurant was excellent. Veronica went out of her way to bring fresh passion fruit for my sister.

    The Wi-Fi was unreliable , challenging to stay connected when we needed it most.

    rocky terrain

    Half amazing, half disappointing

    The staff were attentive. I particularly enjoyed the fine ocean views from my suite with a beautiful atmosphere.

    The location had limited beach access, with rocky terrain instead of sandy shores, making it hard to enjoy the ocean fully.

    rude staff
    mediocre breakfast

    The breakfast was a so-called 'dinner in the morning,' taking forever to get eggs while the toaster malfunctioned. The staff had this alarming laid-back attitude. Rude, really. I had expected royal treatment considering my stay, but alas, just another guest in a sea of mediocrity. Almost gave a good review, but just couldn't.

    friendly staff
    limited dining options

    Yo, we were wowed by the room, super spacious and the bed? Like sleeping on a cloud! The pool got a killer view, perfect for chillin' after exploring. Just a heads up, though-dining could use some serious upgrades. We missed out on some local eats nearby.

    free wi-fi
    helpful staff

    This place suits me perfectly, offering free wi-fi, an outdoor swimming pool, and a fitness center. The staff helped me find a local food delivery number on my first stay, which I appreciated. I highly recommend trying the breakfast-to-go service for early tours. I'm definitely coming back for a trip.
