El lugar es mágico, bungalows directamente en la playa, el agua del mar cristalina y preciosa. Hay varios tipos de bungalows el nuestro no tenía aire acondicionado, solo ventilador, pero también los hay con aire más caros. La wifi no funcionaba, la estaban arreglando.. Yo volvería encantada.

Dåligt att inte få ta med sig snacks in på hotellet, speciellt eftersom man inte kunde köpa nåt snacks där.

The location is great. The staff are friendly. The accommodation needs a refurbishment and new linens. The Palm restuaraunt service is very slow and each time we sent our food back because it was cold there was ko improvement.

Great pool! But all roofs are covered with plastic because of deferred maintenance. Killed 4 Cockroach in the bathroom, not the small ones! Nice garden and beach, you can walk easily to other restaurants in Paje on the beach.

Il Resort si trova in una buonissima posizione (Paje) leggermente più arretrato rispetto alla spiaggia privata con lettini e ombrelloni in legno. Questo fa si che gli alloggi non siano a ridosso della spiaggia (a differenza di altri resort della zona). Davanti alla zona reception c'è una piscina ben riparata dal vento. La spiaggia è controllata di giorno e notte dai Masai. Il ristorante è fra i migliori in zona sia come offerta sia come qualità, di conseguenza i prezzi sono un po' più alti degli altri. Noi abbiamo alloggiato al secondo piano della villa (una caseggiato Bianco con vista spiaggia). Letto comodo e provvisto di zanzariera, cassaforte con chiave nell'armadio, aria condizionata. Ho messo 3 stelle anziché 4 per due motivi: 1) Nonostante la villa costi un po' di più degli altri è davvero spartano ed da l'impressione di trasandatezza anche se pulita, il mobile per i vestiti non utilizzabile perchè le mensole sono in legno grezzo (neppure levigato) con il rischio di rovinare gli indumenti. Gli asciugamani della doccia, anche se sono stati cambiati quasi ogni gg, hanno tutti una riga di ruggine (probabilmente del cavo dove vengono appesi ad asciugare). Basterebbe un po' di cura di questi dettagli (che sono alla portata di Zanzibar a mio parere) per essere all'altezza del costo leggermente superiore. 2) Abbiamo prenotato il transfer di ritorno per le 5 di mattina ma il giorno della partenza il taxi non si è presentato

Rien de m’a plu ma chambre était sale les serviettes avaient des taches ne sentaient pas bon. Au sol ils y avaient des dizaines de fourmis qui se promenaient. 2 araignées sur les murs, 2 lézards dans les lampes de chevet. Autour de la chambre des palmiers coupés la zone était complètement à l’abandon. J’ai passé une nuit horrible

Cristal resort ligger jättefint på stranden intill havet. Utsikten var fantstisk. Överlag trivdes vi mycket bra. Vi kan tänka oss flera mindre förändringar för att få det fantastiskt. Tex hade vi en liten uteplats vid vår bungalow, men inga möbler. Där skulle vi gärna suttit i några sköna loungemöbler.

The place is on a breathtaking beach like a postcard. Too difficult to get to and prices for drinks and food is a little high. Not many rooms with AC. Friendly staff.
