8/10 Very Good! (1 review)
The property was clean and we had a very nice view of the beach. I love the fact that we had a private swimming pool. The staff are super lovely, welcoming and friendly. The food menu needs more choice please. The mattress i was sleeping on was very hard and uncomfortable but i did speak with the manager face to face and him that it needs changing. I think its something they need to look at seriously. The shower room would be nice if it had a glass door so that the water is not everywhere on the floor. overall it was a lovely first time experience in zanzibar and we will definitely come back again.

This was the best resort experience of my life ! The service is incredible ! The rooms are clean and extremely beautiful. The staff are warm, welcoming and always ready to help. The food was amazing . The beach was clean, you also get to do a reef walk with tide times displayed daily. The spa was phenomenal. They also have a tennis pro. I could go on and on ! As someone put it if you can’t relax and leave all your problems behind here …. Then you’ve got problems! I will definitely return !
