Very very friendly and beautiful place. Hire the guys on the beach to visit turtles and dolphins. Cheaper and feels very safe. If you want more party, take a cab to Nungwi beach in the north.

Great Hotel with excellent food and service. Facilities are great, outdoor sports, pool and yoga available! Taking one star away for the poor WiFi connection.
Very helpful and friendly service, and they are available all day for any thing you need. The only problem was our room...we had booked a family room on Booking.com, but instead of giving us the room, they gave us a standard room (which of course couldn't suit our needs as it was too small.), so we requested a bigger room, and they managed to find one for us. We thank them for managing to find us a family room, but I am still wondering why they never gave it to us in the first place..They have good food, and a nice breakfast menu. I really like the fact that every day it's a new breakfast buffet so it gives many options if you didn't like yesterday's breakfast. Lovely views too of the hotel. It was constructed very nicely, especially with the nature in mind. The beaches though aren't that great. Filled with sea urchins so it's virtually impossible to swim in them. It was a decent experience staying here. Although some improvements could be made, especially considering the prices per night.
I loved everything about our stay here and months later, I’m still dreaming about the fantastic seafood - the best I’ve had on the island so far 😍 the staff is so super friendly, the beds comfortable, everything super clean and I just felt really winding down and relaxing during my stay. My nervous system and my mind never circled back to work and we were super sad to leave when we had to. Cannot recommend enough!! 😍😍😍
Highly recommend booking an oceanfront bungalow. Amazing spot on the beach. There are only three in the entire hotel and they are booked up early. Go for it if you want the best beachfront experience on the island. We are from New York City. We loved the hotel. It’s well reported that at low tide you’re not going in the sea. It’s the type of property that you are not traveling around to different restaurants. Be prepared to sit back and enjoy it. Everyone was very friendly and the food was surprisingly good.. this is a low rise laid-back blush experience that feels authentic to the island. I can’t speak for the normal rooms. I’ll leave that to others.
