On arrival we were immediately upgraded to a sea view room. Location and beach are good. Nice room with great view and air conditioning which is a must. All staff were very friendly. The chef is excellent and we really enjoyed our evening meals I would like to add that the manager Kariem is a credit to the running of this hotel. Thanks Kariem and i look forward to meeting up with you in the future.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Nous n’avons pas pu bénéficier de l’hôtel car Expedia a omis de nous informer que l’hôtel était fermé et la cellule de relogement ne nous a pas recontacte. Nous nous sommes trouvés à la rue et à devoir repayer un nouvel hôtel dans un contexte politique ultra tendu en Tanzanie. Merci encore une fois Expedia Attention à ce jour vous pouvez encore reservé cet hotel sur Expedia alors qu’il est toujours fermé. Nous n’avons pas pu juger l’hôtel en lui même.

The best place to switch off and drift away!

Very relaxed very professionally managed resort. I would return and recommend friends. Friendly staff and very clean. The only thing is the mattress is not so comfortable.
