My husband and I were choosing between this hotel and another one. We almost didn’t choose this one because it was new and had very few reviews, but we’re so glad we did – what a hotel! The surroundings were absolutely beautiful, with direct access to the beach. It was the perfect place to completely relax and slow down. The guys in charge of the sports activities were incredibly helpful and really went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Breakfast was also great – it had everything you could ask for, and we didn’t feel like anything was missing. On top of that, the hotel had just gotten its own beautiful boat, which guests could go out on. We loved everything about this place and would definitely come back.

Jag och min fru besökte hotellet under vÄr smekmÄnad i Tanzania. Detta hotell var helt nyöppnat och vi var vÀldigt skeptiska till hotellet nÀr vi först bokade eftersom mÄnga av bilderna var genererade och inte faktiska foton... Men vi chansade och fick en superbra upplevelse. Allt var vÀldigt rent och frÀscht och personalen var vÀldigt mÄna om att vi hade det bra. Vi blev uppgraderade till ett bÀttre rum Àn vi bokat eftersom det fanns tillgÀngligt och blev Àven bjudna pÄ saker under vistelsen sÄsom vin till middagen och extra saker i vÄr minibar pÄ rummet. Frukosten var bÀttre Àn de andra hotellen vi besökte pÄ Zanzibar och i frukosten ingÄr bl.a. olika kaffesorter, mocktails, ÀggrÀtter och tilltugg som man kan bestÀlla utöver buffén som ligger framme. Det enda som kunde varit bÀttre för oss Àr ett gym. Eftersom hotellet var helt nyöppnat sÄ hade inte gymmet ankommit Ànnu men skulle komma inom 1 vecka sa personalen pÄ hotellet.
