Colin M., 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The hotel was wonderful. A safe place with delicious food and the people are so lovely. Clean and got everything you need. My only thing would be to make sure there is an all inclusive coconut rum.

What a wonderful island and hotel. No complaints at all, fabulous holiday. Now to start saving up to return
Tania, 11-night trip

8/10 Good

Great amenities and variety Food is a 6/10 - lots of options but some stations were consistent disappointments Could have issued more information about sand fleas as after a first encounter, limited us from going on the beach again
Meaghan, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The entire hotel staff are absolutely wonderful - they are always friendly and welcoming. They are really what makes this place great. The buffet food was great and our room was wonderful. The rOom and hotel in general were immaculately clean. Even the beach along the nearby coast is crystal clear and clean. would say the water for showering isn't great but I'm not sure there's a whole lot that can be done about that. The hotel is also quite far from Stone Town/the airport, so be prepared to booka lot of taxis if you have things to do on the west side of the island.

Thomas, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

The staff were lovely. A massive shout out to Innocent who served us during our romantic beach dinner and also went above and beyond the following night for beach buffet dinner. An honourable mention to Sufiyan or Sufiyani I cannot remember his name properly but really great service at Bar & Grill restaurant. Hotel amenities were great with good food at both buffet restaurants. Only downside was that they could not guarantee us late checkout, however, the use of the showers and changing rooms alleviated this.

Lovely staff couldn’t do enough for you, good food could do with some more protein for vegetarians, could do with some more staff in the restaurants. The tribes on the beach are annoying security need to warn them away more.
Craig Tyler, 9-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It far exceeded our expectations! The staff are extremely friendly, always attentive and keen to fulfill every wish. The choice of food is extensive and local specialities are the cherry on top pof the cake. A lot of love and commitment is put into the events for the holidaymakers (dinner on the beach, dinner around the pool, music shows, sports activities and much more! It was an absolute dream holiday!
