Guest Reviews
- sandra (10/5): -
- Arun Nadarajah (10/5): -
- Noemie (10/5): Very nice place for family stay - Le lieu est vraiment très agréable, seulement 14 bungalows donc très familial et calme. Les 2 restaurants (sur site et au bord de la mer) sont supers, le staff est très sympa, la piscine propre et agréable, il y a des jeux pour enfants, ... Séjour vraiment super en famille ! Ivana, la responsable, est très attentionnée et vraiment super !
- Yvette (10/5): - Great little resort run by capable management. My friend was experiencing digestion problems, and was immediately provided with tablets (also possible Dr. consultation). Of course it helped resolve the issues. Taxi rides to and from airport, to excursions arranged by the resort, any questions, problems answered within minutes. Breakfast buffet style is varied and plentiful (any style eggs, also ask for "crepes", delicious treat with Nutella). We also had dinner at the resort every night, they have a good chef. I rented a paddleboard couple of times, enjoyed my time on the water.
- Andrea (7/5): -
- Magdalena (9/5): - Kameralny hotel, dostosowany dla dzieci (zabawki, książeczki, kredki), basen, blisko plaża. Domek czysty, klimatyzowany tylko w jednym pokoju. Śniadania skromne, raczej na słodko i owoce. Menu lunchowe w restauracji hotelowej w stylu fast food.
- Antonio (10/5): Staff disponibile ad ogni esigenza - Struttura curata ed intima
- Guy (9/5): - מקום ומיקום טובים בריכה נעימה במקום צוות אדיב בהחלט שווה תמחיר. חוף נקי אוכל טוב במסעדת החוף.
- Nurah (8/5): -
- Natasja (7/5): - Eten prima.
- Reinhold (8/5): Eine Empfehlung wert! - Tolles kleines Resort mit sehr gutem Restaurant.
Schöne Bungalows, mit Sitzgelegenheiten davor, sind um den Pool angeordnet.
Zum Strand, mit hoteleigenen Liegen, geht's über einen sandigen Weg durch ein großzügiges Gelände. Hier gibt es ebenfalls ein Restaurant/Bar.
Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend und inspirierend freundlich, einfach klasse!
Wir waren gerne dort. Der Meeresstrand fällt sanft ab, zum Schwimmen muss man weit raus!
- Wilhelm (10/5): - Le personnel la qualité de l hôtel , l intimité de l emplacement. Rien
- Stoyan (9/5): Чудесен престой със семейството - Много любезен и отзивчив персонал. Настаниха ни още преди обяд.
Всички са усмихнати и готови да помогнат Закуската е хубава, но никакво разнообразие - яйца приготвени по три начина , палачинки и три вида пресни плодове
- Petyr Baelish (8/5): -
- Marusa (10/5): -
- Federico (8/5): Kiwenga Love - Location ottima , ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, colazione abbondante e buona, palestra sulla spiaggia molto piacevole. Mare bello e senza tanti beach boys davanti alla spiaggia riservata
- Enrique (7/5): - Sehr gutes Abendessen im Hotelrestaurant. Zimmer sehr einfach ausgestattet.Geruch im Bad.
- Karel (9/5): -
- Oeivind (10/5): Fint sted å slappe av uten altfor mye mas. - Veldig serviceinnstilt personale, god mat og variert meny.
Ivana (eier av plassen) var veldig hyggelig og pratet mye med gjestene, og var behjelpelig med oss da flyselskapet rotet med bagasjen vår.
- Erik (10/5): Would really like to come again! - Very nice family stay and very helpful staff and owner :)
- Maan Mohammed (9/5): - The location was excellent as it is one hour from the airport. The resort size is excellent for families with kids. The food selection and quality of the food. The staff was so friendly. The bed and bellows were not comfortable.
- Maan Mohammed (9/5): - The location, convenience, staff and cleanliness.
I booked two family rooms. The bed and bellows.
- Requlle (8/5): We enjoyed our 8-night stay, it was amazing and peaceful. - The beach was amazing; We enjoyed the breakfast; but maybe twice in the week you can throw piece of meat or sausage would have been nice. We really enjoyed the snack menu like the Quesadillas/ wraps and chicken wings/ chicken fingers.
I like the way they fried their chips and make rice. Dinners we actually had pizza and the snack menu again.
Amazing staff, they are funny and very friendly. Lameck and his staff and housekeeping Janet are the best. We didn't like that they don't have spices, please invest in BBQ SPICE, CHILLI SPICE ECT. We are from South Africa and we love spice lol.
- Alexandra (10/5): Cosy little resort with a wonderful team - We had a really really really nice time with our nearly 3 year old daughter. The resort is small and quiet, exactly what we needed, and perfect especially for little kids. There is a cute play area by the big restaurant, we had wonderful moments when our daughter just went off there and we had minutes of peace to enjoy dinner😄the pool area is very nice, with a shallow section for kids and lots of toys. There is also a little playground between hotel and the lake, everything within 2 minutes - what else can you wish for.
We had a full board, which had breakfast and dinner at the resort and lunch at the beach restaurant, with the food being really nice.
It’s hard to find words especially to thank Ivana and the whole team who made us feel really cared for, after two weeks honestly it was hard to leave them. Ivana really took care to help us with all the little things we needed every now and then, despite the busy season with lots of tourists. All the team is just wonderful, they are always there happy to help you, and we were happy to get to know every one of them. That we had to leave
- Enrico (9/5): - Posizione, tranquillità, cordialità, spiaggia e mare, bungalow curati e puliti, ottima colazione
- Tiziana lanzoni (10/5): - Struttura pulita vicinissimo al mare . Personale gentilissimo! Top
- Noemi (6/5): Overpriced for what offers - Staff is really something I will remember.. so gentle, nice and always available when we needed help.
Breakfast buffet is abundant, very good, with loads of fruit and you can ask for fresh omelette.
Off-site excursions are organized by one of the best teams I could ever meet.
Good guards are in place at the beach to avoid stress from local vendors.
Air conditioner and fan are a very plus against the heat.
Towels and sunbeds provided for free at the beach.
Available a wide area for kids next to the main restaurant bar.
Taxis are nearby if you want to explore other parts of Zanzibar. The structure is fair, we expected more considering the high price. Rooms are dark, very small, furniture is old and sometimes not so clean. Flush needs to be repaired for good.
Restaurant is good, but a little expensive compared to other beach restaurants nearby. Stray cats meowing all along around tables while you eat is a no-go.
The 'Entertainment' they state is poor (especially for young people) and weekly repetitive. I have seen better entertainment directly on the beach from locals. No entertainment organized at the beach, like water gym, windsurfing, jet ski, etc.
Organization of the place is also poor: there is no dedicated office for excursions, there is no mini-market inside. Even for essentials, you have to go outside.
Coffee is very bad, compared to other structures in Kiwengwa.
Water - as all Kiwengwa - is salty in your bathroom.
- Pekka 1963 (8/5): -
- Giovanni (9/5): -
- Ortwin (8/5): - 7 schöne Doppelbungalows mit etwas harten Betten und einer eigenen möblierten Terrasse die im Halbkreis um den Pool und das Zentralgebäude mit Restaurant gebaut sind. Sehr private und ruhige Atmosphäre mit einem großen Privatstrand mit einem weiteren Restaurant den man über eine Straße vor dem Hotel erreicht. Wer Ruhe und Entspannung sucht wird sich hier sicher wohl fühlen, wer die volle Animation mit vielen Gästen und Kampf um die Liegen braucht, wird enttäuscht sein. Das Frühstücksbuffet war lecker und frisch, abends kann man dem Koch an der offenen Küche zuschauen, wie er die Speisen lecker und liebevoll zubereitet.
Beim Abendessen gab es immer eine Auswahl zwischen Fleisch, Fisch oder vegetarisch mit Vorspeise und Nachtisch nach Wahl. Der Strand ist flach und sehr schön, jedoch gibt es heftige Unterschiede zwischen Ebbe und Flut, so dass man je nach Strandzeit auch mal kein Wasser am Strand hat. Aber keine Sorge, es kommt wieder zurück.
Insgesamt ein gelungener Traumurlaub bei freundlichen Gastgebern. Die Klimaanlage ist im Hauptschlafzimmer, im zweiten Schlafzimmer ist keine Klimaanlage, was die gleichmäßige Temperatureinstellung für die Nacht bei mehr als zwei Personen etwas schwierig gestaltet.
- Martina (10/5): Great atmosphere! - It s a small resort so you get to know all the people and the staff,family feelings Nothing
- Julie (10/5): Lovely place next to beach with great staff. - Great location with great access to beach
- Helena (10/5): - The personnel and the owner Iwona is fantastic
- Junaid (10/5): It was perfect and just what we were looking for. Peace, quiet, on the beach, relaxation. The resort also has a pool. Fo - Location. Its on the quite side of the island. Very family orientated Everything available. The staff are really amazing. Nothing really. All good
- Steinar (10/5): Trolig zanzibars hyggeligste resort! - Flott beliggenhet et steinkast fra stranda. Hyggelig bassengområde ved rommene/resepsjon/restaurant, og tilhørende beach-restaurant og privat strand kun 1 minutt gange unna. Fantastisk personale; hyggelige, hjelpsomme, smilende. God mat i begge restauranter, deilig frokostbuffet. Egentlig ingenting. AC på vårt rom var ikke den mest effektive, og det er ikke luksuriøst på rommene, men rent og ryddig.
- Ida (10/5): Great beach holiday - the friendliest staff !! - This was great! The location was good. The beach exclusively to the property just a few steps away. It was a comfortable stay. And the staff - they were fantastic ! Very friendly helpful and took care of all our needs, including a special surprise for a birthday for one of us.
- Beatrice (9/5): - Il Kiwengwa Bungalow Boutique Resort è il posto perfetto per chi vuole vivere Zanzibar in massimo relax, con autenticità locale e senza troppe pretese. Il rapporto qualità prezzo è eccezionale per il servizio che si riceve e il personale e i gestori sono gentilissimi e pronti a soddisfare ogni richiesta. Il ristorante sulla spiaggia è buono, ha una vasta scelta di piatti e prezzi adeguati. Per le escursioni il resort si appoggia a un’agenzia esterna professionale che può organizzare tutti i tour includendo il pick up. Lo consiglio davvero a chi vuole vivere Zanzibar in modo autentico e non troppo lussuoso, senza rinunciare però a un’ottima qualità e un buon servizio. In alcuni punti il Wi-Fi non funziona alla perfezione
- Maria Eleonora (8/5): - Struttura, accoglienza, cibo Wi fi instabile, alghe in spiaggia
- Tamara (7/5): - Struttura intima persona premuroso e pronto a soddisfare ogni richiesta, per andare in spiaggia bisogna superare unastradina purtroppo quando siamo stati noi era pieno di alghe e il mare non si vedeva per ore, la zona lettini in spiaggia non è ben mantenuta e nessun tipo di intrattanimento diurno e serale, menu alla carta poca scelta in mezz pensione
- Giorgia (9/5): Bellissima struttura dove mangiare e rilassarsi in compagnia di uno staff speciale! - Lo stile della struttura mi è piaciuto molto, ed è per questo che inizialmente lo abbiamo scelto. Staff super disponibile e accogliente! Beach bar ottimo per pranzi e cocktail in spiaggia! Colazione ricca e preparata al momento. Unica pecca (ma che per noi non è stato un problema) é che il wifi non era funzionante per un giorno intero.
A volte di sera saltava la corrente, ma poco dopo tornava, non causando problemi.
La camera dove abbiamo soggiornato era pulita, ma ad esempio la rubinetteria era un po’ arrugginita/con calcare, la porta del bagno non si chiudeva bene. Ma per noi personalmente non è stato un disagio.
- Loustaunau (10/5): Enchantée - Personnel adorable. J'ai trouvé le lit un peu dur, mais la chambre était très propre. Les repas sont délicieux au gout et à la vue. L'hotel est très bien situé, aux abords d'une plage magnifique avec restaurant aux pieds dans le sable. J'en suis enchantée et le conseille vraiment! Les bungalows permettent de se sentir dans un cocon. A taille humaine, ce n'est pas un gros complexe désagréable, tout le contraire! TOUT. Le personnel, les repas
- Markus (8/5): -
- Sandra (10/5): Kõik oli suurepärane. Hommiku söök väga maitsev. Õhtu retorani toit imeline. Tube koristati igapäevaselt. Personali oli - Hubane, bassein maja ees, majutus asutuses oma rand. Kõik oli supper. Kuid suurepärane oleks kui majutus asutuses oleks riidepesu võimalus.
- raffaele (9/5): -
- Alison (9/5): - The staff went out of their way to help you, they were all very friendly and happy, and could not do enough for you. The room was cleaned every day, the pool was always spotless and we felt safe & very lucky to have stayed there. The beach was lovely and the buffet breakfast was very varied and delicious. The bungalow was smaller than I thought.
It was also quite a long way from any tours and so a lot of long taxi journeys.
- Uta (8/5): Sansibar für Anfänger - Viel Platz im Bungalow für 2 Personen.
Terrasse mit genügend Sitzplätzen und Wäscheleine für nasse Schwimmsachen.
Trinkwasser ausreichend zum Nachfüllen steht bereit.
WIFI die meiste Zeit überall, selbst am Strand erreichbar. Im Bungalow war nur ein Stuhl. Das Licht war eher ein Dämmerlicht, statt richtig hell. Insbesondere auf der Terrasse war es nicht möglich, nach Sonnenuntergang zu lesen oder zu schreiben.
- Daniela (7/5): Relaxent - Le personnel,tellement gentil et serviable
Qui te fait ressentir que tu es le bienvenu L’odeur d’humidité ed de refermer
- Malak (8/5): -
- Victoria (6/5): - Неплохое соотношение цены и качества Указано что есть частный пляж. Да, так и есть, но нет упоминания, что он находится через дорогу на другой территории. Номера также немного уставшие. Ожидания и реальность немного не совпали
- Ines (10/5): -
- Tanja (8/5): -
- Larouche (9/5): -
- Andreea Oprea (7/5): -
- meierchen (9/5): - Cosy with Pool, free water (can fill up your bottles for free); good breakfast incl. cooking Station; very short walk to "private" beach area incl. good restaurant
- xavier (8/5): - Le cadre, les repas et l ambiance Le fait que nous sinon desservi très vite pendant les repas alors que mô compagnon n avait pas fini
- Remy (9/5): Super séjour en famille - Hôtel adapté pour les enfants. Personnel très sympathique, excellent petit déjeuner. Deux restaurants dont un avec les pieds dans le sable. Internet dans les chambres ne fonctionne pas
- Olsion (9/5): Polecam hotel i z chęcią mogłabym wrócić. - Pobyt w hotelu adekwatny do ceny, z piękna plaża, leżakami i barem. Obsługa bardzo miła i pomocna, zawsze uśmiechnięta i radosna. Jedzenie było przepyszne, brawa dla kucharzy i kelnerów. Pokoje wygodne, powinny być odnowione, chociaż jedynie tam śpimy wiec ok.
- Sarah (10/5): - L’accueil, l’emplacement, le restaurant (petit déjeuner et dîner très bons).
Cocktails délicieux
Accès à la plage
Centre de kitesurf/wing Rien
- chantal (8/5): Logement, piscine sont propres, la plage est à côté. - Nous avons réservé un logement avec deux chambres.
Il y avait bien deux chambres, mais l'inconvénient nous devons passé dans la première chambre pour aller dans la deuxième chambre. Pas de porte a la première chambre. Lorsque nous ouvrons la porte d'entrée, on arrive directement dans la chambre.
Lorsque nous partons à deux couples, manque d'intimité.
- Gerhát-herbály (10/5): -
- Andreas (10/5): Vi var meget glade for at være på stedet med børn på 4 og 6 år. Rigtig gode forhold for børnefamili. - Rigtig behageligt og venligt personale. God morgenmad. Lækker pizza i Beach baren. Hyggeligt børnehjørne med tegnegrej og spil, og legeplads på stranden. Sengene noget hårde og WiFi lidt ustabilt.
- Aankomend pensionado (8/5): Korte vakantie op Zanzibar - Fijne locatie met de mogelijkheid naar het strand te lopen. Het terras bij de kamer en bungalow gaf ruimte.
- CRAIG (9/5): -
- Angela (8/5): - Das umfangreiche Frühstücksbuffet, die fußläufige Strandlage mit Strandhandtüchern, Liegen und schattenspendenden Sonnenschutz. Die Anlage ist dank Mr Brown sehr gepflegt und sauber! Leider gab es nur wenige Möglichkeiten lokale Gerichte in der Anlage und außerhalb zu essen. Das Bett war sehr hart, aber besser als zu weich!
- Marjolaine (9/5): Exceptionnel ! - Le staff du KBB est d’une gentillesse infinie , toujours souriant et prêt à nous rendre service. C’était un plaisir d’être à leur côtés durant chaque jours de nos vacances.
Le petit déjeuné est copieux et la nourriture est bonne.
La piscine est agréable et la plage est à 2 minutes à pieds. Les chambres sont humides lié au climat tropical de Zanzibar et le matelas un peu dur.
- Mark (10/5): Zanzibar holiday - It was a beautiful setting the beach the sea the staff , zanzibar was a very beautiful place will definitely go back , the trips we went on where brilliant, and the safari well that was the high light , and I got to say a very big thank too ivana she sorted it out and wasn't even in work , so if you got any trips you want to go on , she's the one too see very helpful 😀 .the staff are fantastic and you won't meet more helpful people very very friendly which is a massive help 😀 😉 . Going home back to work
- Alberto (10/5): Hakuna matata! - Il villaggio è davvero bello, con casette in tipico stile di Zanzibar!
Il personale è sempre carino, cordiale e sorridente, in perfetta sintonia con la “ filosofia “ dell’isola. Unico suggerimento potrebbe essere di organizzare qualche attività nella zona della spiaggia
- Sophie (10/5): - Je suis toujours étonnée de lire les commentaires négatifs pour des futilités et surtout me dire que les gens feraient mieux de rester chez eux
Tout était vraiment parfait .
Le personnel est d une gentillesse incroyable, toujours attentionné et soucieux de vous faire plaisir.
La chambre toujours nettoyée de façon impeccable et mention spéciale pour janette qui tous les matins avait un sourire incroyable et remplie de petites attentions.
Le restaurant est excellent et mention spéciale aussi au chef qui fait une cuisine raffinée.
Le personnel de la plage aussi est très très attentionné.
Merci également à sa manager qui est présente et prête à vous aider .
On se sent vraiment bien et paisible .
Un grand merci à toute l équipe pour nous avoir fait passer un excellent séjour.
- Rossella (8/5): Buono, struttura ben tenuta, personale valido, cibo niente male - Il personale sempre disponibile e cortese..il cibo molto buono..."all''italiana" diciamo (anche xchè il proprietario è un italiano)..i bungalow mooolto carini, ben tenuti..la spiaggia ben tenuta, curata, insomma davvero un'esperienza nell'insieme positiva. Purtroppo e mi dispiace davvero tanto dirlo l'insistenza dei beach boys in spiaggia. Quasi nn ti fanno fare vacanza. Anche se nn possono entrare nella spiaggia privata insistono, ti chiamano. Ci dovrebbe essere una regola non possono stressare così i turisti..parlo di quelli che vendono non di quelli che fanno gli spettacoli.
- Nelly Gavako (8/5): - The location is perfect. The food in the hotel's restaurants were varied and tasty. The staff was hospital The furbiture was old
- Cedric (8/5): Séjour agréable - Personnel très attentionné et souriant
Les plats proposés sont bons et copieux
Belle piscine pour la taille de l’hôtel Le matelas …(une vrai brique)
- ALFREDO (7/5): - Location molto ben tenuta, staff gentile. Bella spiaggia. Colazione carente. Contrariamente a quanto letto in precedenti recensioni non è più presente il ristorante gestito da italiani, il ristorante attualmente è di livello modesto.
- Anne-Marie (10/5): A little quiet paradise on a stunning beach, I felt home, taken care of and was able to recharge my batteries in only fo - A lovely cozy resort with beautiful bungalows, lovely staff, nice pool area, an outstanding breakfast and a pretty beach area. 4 days of paradise home away from home. That the neighbours had needlessly their aircon on almost constantly.
- Mark&Selly (8/5): Serene and chilled..!! - It's a beautiful setting and chilled vibes.. you need nothing more than a good book and a few lazy days to spare! It's on the beach in Zanzibar - what's not to like!!
- Juliette (10/5): - This hotel was very nice! The food at the beach bar was delicious. It was a very relaxing location. The staff were very friendly and helpful!
- Rachel (10/5): Our stay was relaxing and enjoyable - So clean, peaceful, beautiful grounds. Staff so helpful and always smiling
- Katarzyna (10/5): Perfect stay at a dreamy beach - Wonderful place with the most beautiful, safe beach, perfect water and comfy sun beds, great beach bar/restaurant open until late. Delicious food. The kindest, most helpful hotel staff. Close to a few shops, pharmacy and ATMs. Best hotel out of 4 I’ve stayed at in Zanzibar, great value for money. -
- Nicolae (8/5): -
- Josef (10/5): - Wenn alles gut geht, gehe ich wieder in dieses Hotel.
- Karoline (10/5): - Super entspannte kleine Bungalow Anlage mit eigenem Strandbereich, grosser Pool, 2 gute Restaurants und tollem Frühstück.
- Trotamyndos (8/5): - Esta a 1 km del centro pueblo. No a 600 m Es bonito pero un poco caro
- Traveller783012674 (5/5): Basic not boutique, overpriced for what you get - Pros - very quiet atmosphere; felt very safe; comfortable verandah with couches at each bungalow; line for hanging wet beach clothes/laundry outside; air con and ceiling fans in room; big king size bed with firm mattress (my preference). Food was reasonably priced (for Zanzibar) if you do a la carte - the half/full board option wouldn't suit me, would probably be good for families though.
The private beach area was well maintained and a blessing to be protected from the disgusting "beach boys" harassment and sexual inuendo / constant attention seeking. Beach was very clean and daily cleaned / maintained by the staff. Ability to refill water bottles daily for free.
Pool was very clean but time of year meant it wasn't warm enough for me to swim, so didn't try it.
Fly screens on windows in the bungalow a huge plus.
Staff weren't pushy about booking activities/tours as they can be at other hotels. Cons - Room is very very basic especially for the price range (A$240/nt), without things a "resort" would usually have e.g. robes/slippers, bathroom amenities, nice soap, vanity kit, shower cap, iron /ironing board, mini bar etc. Maybe I was paying high season pricing? Bathroom and floor tiles in need of cleaning and/or replacement. Also oddly only a sheet on the bed, no blanket. They provided one immediately when requested, but it was just a quilt no cover and smelled like it hadn't been washed for a while.
Got gastro more than once and this is after 2+ months travelling in Africa, not new to the cuisine. Some staff super friendly but most spent more time on phones or chatting to each other. The place was nearly empty (max 2 other bungalows filled) for most of my stay, so they weren't rushed off their feet. Also found it odd that the owner + friends permanently reserved a table in the dining room and ate meals at the same time as guests, but never spoke to or interacted with guests; haven't experienced that before after travelling to 30+ countries and having worked in the industry.
The in between - like everywhere in Tanzania there were short power cuts, that's life. Also the wifi was average, but who comes to the beach to sit on their phone?! The beach is a few mins walk away, across a road, not a hassle at all but some might be bothered by this, also no rooms with ocean view (didn't bother me at all). There's no gym, just some random equipment by the beach, but didn't bother me either. Food service is incredibly slow for lunch/dinner (like 1hr wait for a bowl of pasta), but experienced this many other places in Kenya & Tanzania, no big deal.
Overall I'd suggest this place has potential with renovations, staff education and price reductions.
- Antonio (8/5): -
- LaColorada (7/5): Hotel con hermosa playa - Muy linda la zona de playa y la piscina.
El bar de la playa está bien servido y tiene buena comida y jugos.
Tiene una zona con mesa de pool, libros y juegos que mis hijos apreciaron mucho.
Muy buena la cena africana con show de Masai. El manager del hotel deja mucho que desear, por suerte el resto del personal (sobre todo el del bar de la playa) son muy alegres y disponibles.
Las habitaciones son muy oscuras y con mala iluminación.
El servicio de masajes es de muy bajo nivel.
- Patricia (9/5): Sehr schöner Aufenthalt, gerne wieder. - Alles war sehr sauber .
Das Frühstück war sehr gut. Die Zimmer waren schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen.

- Robert (10/5): -
- Laura (10/5): Relax - Struttura nuova, pulitissima personale gentilissimo e disponibile, a pochissimi passi dal mare con spiaggia privata con bar e lettini disponibili.ottima colazione abbondante e varia .
- Luca (8/5): - The fact that they had their own secure beach entry without being directly on the beach front. the beach bar/restaurant was well stocked with good food and drinks.
The Resort restaurant was really good as well. Some of the vendors along the beach , mainly the "fake maasai" were a bit too intrusive with some of the young ladies tanning. A better watch/guard is probably needed to avoid some ( not all) clients to get annoyed.

- Martha (10/5): - Everything is great, especially the staff. They are very nice and attentive! Breakfast was amazing. The beach in front is beautiful! It is a family resort which was perfect for us! I loved everything
- youssef (10/5): - I had an amazing 3-night stay at this hotel in Zanzibar. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, the room was very clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere was just perfect. The restaurant was excellent, with delicious food every time. A special thank you to Ivana, the manager, who does an outstanding job to make sure everything runs so well. I truly enjoyed my time here and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Zanzibar
- Armin (4/5): -
- Raffaella (9/5): - Gentili, disponibili, sempre accoglienti e sorridenti. Sempre pronti a risolvere ogni possibile domanda o necessità. Posizione ottima. Ottimo spazio per rilassarsi nella spiaggia privata.
Lettini distanziati. Ottimo cibo. Tutto eccellente ci torneremo.
- George (10/5): Best African resort we have been to. ..... including others in Zanzibar - Too little space to say how good this place is. It is perfect. Great for kids. Staff are fantastic. Food excellent. Beach is clean and ideal with a Beach Bar for snacks and drinks. The Manager is truly excellent in his customer service and dealt with any little issue promptly and more than satisfactorily. Usually after 5 days somewhere I want to move on. Not from here. There can be nowhere better. All was very good
- Albane (7/5): C’était ok pour le prix - La plage privée
L’intimité
Le repas du soir était bon
Le personnel souriant et à notre service
Très bon accueil Les chambres : odeurs d’humidité car pas possible d’aérer
Service un peu long le soir
Descriptif un peu mensonger sur booking sur le centre de remise en forme : ce n’est pas une salle de fitness : seulement quelques équipements disposés sur la plage
Le wifi ne fonctionne pas dans les chambres
