Beautiful hotel on the beach at the north end of Zanzibar. This beach was quieter than the west side of Nungwi. Less "beach boys" hassling you on the beach.

8/10 Very good

A pleasant if overpriced option
Deluxe room was more of a suite with separate kitchen area, bathroom & bedroom, Large balcony with both chairs and a twin hammock. Not plush by European standards but quite nice anyway. AC was great, wifi was good, food was good. A couple of silly rules, IE outside drinks will be confiscated but a nice stay.

Nice staff, beautiful location but food for breakfast is not up to the cattiness of the location. Also restaurants price is a bit higher if I compare to other surroundings restaurants and average prices internationally

Our cottage was clean with good hot water and A/C. It was a quiet location on the beach. Food was good. The aquarium where you can swim with sea turtles in a natural lagoon is across the road. I enjoyed the hammocks on the property. Staff was friendly and helpful.

ood but...
I stayed for 4 nights and my comments as follow: * The room was very nice (spacious, very nice view "Mahaba 1", nice AC, hot water and coffee tray) * The staff very friendly *the beach is nice, but affected by tides, so the water going away sometimes during the day. Also the management need to watch the guest behavior with the shades and sun beds as during our stay we found some people putting their towels to reserve place and going to use other area of the beach or using the pool!! * The breakfast limited choices with acceptable quality. * The dinner set menu and tasty "compliments to the chef" * The area very rough.

The place is fine for the price. Rooms are basic but functional (hot water, air con etc). The location is a little distant from Nungwi nightlife but most guests are probably looking for that. Breakfast is a little disappointing at most Nungwi hotels but this place is slightly above average in the breakfast stakes.

Dynamic ocean front watching the expansive tides come and go under the over hanging deck! Did not like workers waking me up at 7am with their chatter.... Some requests of the front desk were ignored...😐

Beautiful hotel, private and not surrounded by any other hotels, friendly staff, good food. Lush gardens and great sea views. Plenty to do in Nungwi. Swimming with turtles was amazing! Great experience to watch dhow builders perform their art with wood. We booked an extra night at the hotel at good rates!

The staff is so friendly. They put nice touches on everything and make sure to constantly check on you. I left at 6am and they packed me breakfast without me asking. They have an on-site your company that provides quite a few of the memorable Zanzibar tours

Interesting bathroom set up in the rooms that weren't individual lodges. No privacy due to open glass. Wasn't really an issue for us but could see it being an issue for other people. Everything else though was good, not a bad place to stay by any means. It was quite nice. If you're someone who likes to stay in the room maybe look elsewhere. We aren't like that so it wasn't a problem.
