The hotel offers simple yet really comfortable rooms situated in a stunning garden with palm trees providing shade over the pools, and it boasts a unique location right opposite of Mnemba Island. The rooms are nicely decorated, spacious, and feature proper netting for the beds, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep without any mosquito disturbances. Although the rooms are a nice size and well-decorated, the price could be considered slightly high.

I felt like I had my own little bungalow in this hotel, with private, comfortable, and clean rooms and a hot shower in nature. The staff were lovely and welcoming, but there were some issues with the booking information and service at times. The location offered stunning views over to Mnemba island, but the lack of hospitality from some staff members was noticeable. The dining experience was excellent, although a bit pricey for Zanzibar standards. Overall, I had a relaxing and pleasant stay with a few hiccups along the way.

The staff were friendly, and we even got to borrow snorkel equipment for free during our stay. However, the location being far from any medical support was a bit inconvenient.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms offered great ocean views and comfy beds but were too hot and a bit humid due to the tropical weather. The service was exceptional, especially Nicholas the bartender who made delightful cocktails. The location was stunning with amazing sea views, but it was a bit remote. The dining experience was memorable but a bit pricey for Zanzibar standards.
