Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was delightful! The rooms were very comfortable and always clean when we came back from our day, although the walls didn't do much to block out noises from the neighbors. The service was friendly and professional, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. The location was perfect, right on the best beach with a great mix of calmness and nearby restaurants and nightlife. The dining was satisfying with local dishes and fresh fruits. Overall, a great value for money.
I was thrilled with the hotel's amazing location, being right by the sea and with easy access to various restaurants. The rooms were inviting, with views of the pool and ocean, which I absolutely loved. The service was so kind and generous, especially from Baraka, the Masai security staff, who ensured our peace of mind throughout our stay. The dining experience, while not middleuropean, offered tasty local dishes and fresh fruit. The facilities were top-notch, contributing to a memorable stay.
The hotel is nested quietly among the palms on the beach, offering clean and spacious rooms, super friendly service, and a location that balances proximity to the best beach in Zanzibar with easy access to dining options. Dining was sufficient but could be more diverse. The pool always remains clean and beautifully lit in the evening, and the internet coverage is superb everywhere, even on the beach.
The hotel is situated right at the beach, offering a peaceful location just a short stroll from the vibrant atmosphere of Nungwi village. The rooms were very spacious and clean, providing a comfortable stay. The service was exceptional, with a helpful and accommodating staff. The dining options, however, fell short of expectations. Overall, a great choice for those seeking a relaxing beachfront stay with a few dining considerations.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were big, spacious, and clean with a nice little veranda and mosquito nets provided every night. The staff was smiling, friendly, and very accommodating. The location, right at the beach but away from the crowded areas, was among the best in Nungwi. The dining was basic but filling, and the facilities were great.
