The hotel is situated in a stunning location, right on the beach with breathtaking sunset views and nearby dive tours. While the rooms are spacious and clean, they do lack some furnishings and modernization. The dining experience offers a buffet with a decent variety but could use more local dishes, and the service can be hit or miss at times. Overall, it’s a charming spot for those who appreciate nature over luxury.

Our stay at the resort was mixed. While the beach was absolutely stunning with pristine white sand, the accommodations left much to be desired. The room was basic and did not meet 4-star standards, and the service was occasionally lacking. Despite the downsides, we had some enjoyable experiences during our holiday that made up for the shortcomings.

Rooms

The bungalow we stayed in was very basic, with a small fridge but no safe in the room. It had some issues like a mosquito net with holes and a bathroom in need of refurbishment.

Service

The service was generally okay, but I was disappointed that they initially offered complementary water during meals and then suddenly stopped, making us get our own from a distributor.

Amenities like the dive school next door were excellent, but I wouldn't recommend using the resort’s scuba diving facilities due to outdated equipment.

I had a really disappointing experience at this resort in Zanzibar. The location could have been great, but it was overshadowed by issues like cleanliness and a lack of basic amenities. I struggled with power and water shortages during my stay, which made it uncomfortable. I wouldn't recommend it at all, especially considering the price we paid.
