Stunning hotel, very reasonable price. We ended up opting for half board and this worked out well for us. There was always plenty of options on the buffet which were good, we did not find that the ala carte options were very tasty at all. The staff were all so kind and helpful. The private beach was lovely, though unfortunately you still get harassed by beach boys who are generally nice but annoying. The room was always clean, the staff smiling. The pool is beautiful and I love the extra inclusions as well as the little gifts! Godlisten and Rachel were especially wonderful. We would absolutely recommend.

Super schönes Zimmer, mit allem was man braucht. Ein bisschen mühsam war, dass man den Vorhang bei der Türe zum Balkon nicht wegschieben konnte, um rauszugehen. Tolles, gesundes, vielfältiges Frühstück. Personal sehr freundlich, erfüllten uns jeden Wunsch. Ein Kritikpunkt sind die Liegestühle inkl. Matten am Pool und am Strand und die Loungesessel beim Beach-Restaurant. Sehr unbequem und in einem desolaten Zustand, alt, dreckig und zerrissen.

My husband and I booked the Lux Marijani for our honeymoon. We did one week safari in Tanzania and then flew to Zanzibar to stay at the Lux. On arrival the staff were extremely welcoming and instantly made us feel at home. The Lux has amazing staff who get to know you and really make you feel welcome. The food and drinks selection was fantastic and all our tastes were catered for. The hotels facilities were overall ok and we spent a lot of the week at the pool and time in the evening on the beach. The nightly entertainment was always fun and worth watching. The only downsides to mention would be the fact that our room was situated on the ground floor and we had no view as we were surrounded by plants. On the first day, our room flooded and though this was inconvenient, the team were quick to rectify and very apologetic. The gym was quite small and not well air conditioned. There were limited sunbeds around the pool and this sometimes was quite frustrating. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would go back.

I can only rave about the service I received at this property. Everyone is so kind and so observant and so attentive to every single need. They go above and beyond. When I left this morning, they had a gift for me. I had to leave for my plane at 2 AM. They arranged for transportation pack me a breakfast coffee and gave me two gifts with a smile. I almost hated to leave. It was like I was going to be missed by my new family. The beach is absolutely beautiful. There is plenty of space. The villas are nice and big. The property is in pristine condition. I have no complaints. They remember my birthday also saying to me brought me a cake made up the bed with decorations twice excellent excellent excellent!

La chambre avec vue mer était magnifique. Petit cadeau Lux à l'arrivée; Point à améliorer pour la proposition restauration pour atteindre la qualité Lux Belle Mare. Quelques améliorations au niveau de la maintenance (fuite au niveau des menuiseries, ..) Un très bon séjour.
