The hotel itself is nice but the location is very far from everything. We were suppose disappointed that we did not read anywhere about high and low tide. We did not have access to the beach due to this and of course if we knew would not have booked this location. Also shuttles to a different beach has limited time. Food was good but extremely expensive for what you get and we were a big group of 8 the service was not great. Took forever and not everyone ate together.

Strongly recommend!

It is a 5-star feeling, with a feeling of space, mindful of this is Zanzibar and not Hilton in the Western world. You feel there is a strong western management teams that ensure all the little things that you appreciate with a personal touch and connection. Small-medium size resort placed a bit away (1 hour) from tourist centers like Zanzibar city and North main beaches. Yes, the beach is not good, but there is a great one 5 min away connected with the hotel. But you get a feel of space and especially Vladislava and Adella have made the perfect setting for one of the best experiences. You get a feeling of new and clean rooms and a great little resort, amazing restaurant, fantastic pool area and special evening events. Very relaxing feeling all the way - the opposite of Zanzibar Stone Town and North coast. Good value for money compared to other hotels we have seen. You want to top-up for all-inclusive for the days you are not out of the hotel. 80$ and 50$ (non-alco) pp. Not cheap, but worth it. Yes, we strongly recommend this resort/hotel. We were here as a family of 5 in two rooms.

Paradise is right - expect to cry when you leave.

After a little tour of the island hitting busy Stonetown and overly touristy Nungwi, this was JUST what we needed - an actual taste of the tropical island paradise we had wanted from Zanzibar. I am so glad we spent the longest time here in comparison to other places. The rooms are perfect - we stayed in a studio - i imagine the villas to be even better, but we had everything we needed and more. The food was the best we had on the island. Truly delicious! The grounds are magical - so lush and green and the pool is beautiful, with comfy loungers and a great hammock. As other reviews state, there is not a typical 'beach' for sunbathing/swimming, however, the resort offers free transport to another beach 5mins away. We loved the mangrove style beach with its rockpools and we enjoyed several walks along to the other resorts on rocky outcrop - lots of wildlife to be seen - so peaceful and brought out the kids in us we explored. I could not recommend this place enough!

Beautiful hotel, fantastic stay.

Really enjoyed this as a last few days on a hectic trip around Kenya and Tanzania camping and safari trip. This was an amazing relaxing experience in very nice accommodation and setting. Food was amazing and rooms are comfortable and very well cleaned and kept. Staff were very helpful and friendly at all times. Only downside it this is quite remote and takes quite a while to travel to other parts of the island due to low speed limits and poor roads. If you just want a lovely relaxing time in beautiful surroundings this is a great choice!

Nice quiet small hotel

Very small hotel - only room for 38 guests. Pool area is large and spacious - beach area not usable as a beach as tide goes out and you can't sit there, but it's still beautiful as a view. Service was very nice - we had a few problems with our room. All inclusive is expensive for what you get. I would recommend bed and breakfast then paying just for what you eat.

Das Hotel liegt sehr schön und ruhig – ideal, wenn man Erholung sucht. Die Anlage ist gut gepflegt und macht insgesamt einen sauberen, einladenden Eindruck. Wichtig zu wissen: Man sollte sich vorher über die Tiden (Ebbe und Flut) informieren, da das Meer hier sehr flach ist. Schwimmen im Meer ist leider nicht möglich, was etwas schade ist. Das Personal war leider nicht besonders aufmerksam oder freundlich, was den Aufenthalt ein wenig getrübt hat. Insgesamt ein schöner, ruhiger Ort zum Entspannen, aber mit kleinen Abstrichen beim Service und beim Baden im Meer.
