Jambiani hotellia

Plussat: We stayed in a lovely spacious apartment and could see the sea from our bed. The walk along the beach to breakfast was a great start to the day. There are some really chilled restaurants on the seafront which we enjoyed, but 4 nights were enough.

Plussat: The views onto the ocean were incredible

Plussat: Apartment was just perfect. Very comfortable, peaceful and 2 swimming pools. We were lucky to be the night when there was movie night so we could enjoy cool evening with free popcorn and watch everything from our private balcony :))) Stuff and managers are just great. They told us so many useful things. What to do, where to go, where not to spend too much money, which transfer take etc. I will definitely recommend this place to all my friends and everyone.

Miinukset: The ocean view is a side ocean view but still enough and beautiful.

Plussat: breakfast, proximity of restaurant to villa, swimming pool, villa views over ocean, free bikes and snorkels

Miinukset: Would have loved more activities (kayaking, paddle boarding)

Plussat: Easy access to the beach, quiet and peaceful, hosts were very accommodating when we wanted our own private bbq even gave us a free upgrade when we arrived and allowed late checkout.

Miinukset: Nothing :)

Plussat: Spacious,the balcony.bed netting,view,goods we ordered were there when we arrived

Miinukset: Aircon did not work,and neither did fan work properly Dinner menu lacked many choices

Plussat: Staff is the best. Very helpful with any question you might have. Great kitchen. Clean, beautiful, relaxing.

Plussat: Excellent welcoming, amazing location and extremely frendly staff ! Top notch spot

Plussat: While I hope people continue to ignore the remote beauty of Jambiani, the villas are a hidden treasure for those seeking secluded comfort. The staff should be paid even more as they offered exemplary service always offering a power adaptor or a Spanish omelette or recommendations for fishing. The chef even friend the fish I caught earlier in the day. The suites are quite spacious and comfortable. The pool the perfect way to end a day. I absolutely will stay here every year when I’m Zanzibar.

Miinukset: Even though I can’t think of anything I dislike, travelers should be aware Jambiani is a quiet, secluded fishing village and a solid 60-75 minutes from the airport. Taxi will cost $60-75 but the location and serenrity is so worth it.

Plussat: Just perfect location, friendly and welcoming staff, super clean room, cozy beach bar, sound of waves - everything was so perfect we didn’t want to leave!

Plussat: The staff, the atmosphere, the view, the food, the location, the lack of annoying tourists. It was a fabulous stay for us.

Miinukset: The only negative aspect is that there was no swimming pool or AC. everything else was brilliant

Plussat: The staff was smiling all the time. The hotel has all the positive vibes. The dinner was delicious, you have to try coconut crusted fish.

Plussat: Very friendly staff!!! We can recommend going on a sailing / snorkel tour on the traditional sailing boat with the captain! Relaxing ambience, good drinks and beautiful beach. We highly appreciated the social & environmental commitment of the hotel in Jambiani (report 2017)

Miinukset: Lighting in the room could be better and in the evening the coming smell from the restaurants kitchen to our room

Plussat: Very good place on the 1st line of the ocean; Restaurant food were good; Big rooms with king size beds; We stay with friends in a good room with 2 double size beds; You can order a transfer to/from airport; It has some extra services and list of entertainments as snorkeling, yoga etc.

Miinukset: Our room was too dark;

Plussat: We loved the homemade breakfasts, the ocean views and the friendliness of the staff. It was helpful that there were tours available through the front desk-Captain Zappy was great!

Miinukset: The Beach Boys were annoying

Plussat: Everything except the food quality

Miinukset: Food

Plussat: Very friendly staff and great location

Plussat: The friendliness of the staff was amazing. The view on the beach was nothing short of beautiful. The food (African dishes) was really good at the restaurant and so affordable.

Miinukset: Our room was next to the cuisines so we could really smell it. The early morning was also quite noisy. Although it’s not directly related to the hotel but more about the surroundings.

Plussat: Friendly and professional staff. The peaceful vibes of the neighbourhood. The beach at low and high tide. The seaweed on the beach is natural and it is a clean beach. I hope the villagers will continue to pick up plastic garbage.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Clean, bright and small hotel - it feels like a boutique hotel and not a resort, which is rare for Zanzibar. Fantastic pool and excellent food. Huge beds and fun bathrooms.

Plussat: The place was just awesome and so worth for the money !!! So quiet and just insanely beautiful !! Definitely will come again ❤️

Miinukset: Everything was perfect

Plussat: Lovely hotel, beautifully decorated, really pretty garden, loved the bed ( slept like a baby )... breakfast was nice, can't comment on food as we never ate there ( found the food to be a bit pricey compared to local restaurants ). Staff was really nice and helpful, overall we had a wonderful stay.

Miinukset: Toiletries in the bathroom could be better

Plussat: The best part of our stay was really the attentive staff. They could help with any request and made the property feel like a home or private villa rather than a hotel. I would especially like to thank Mohammed and Sayid who were fantastic at what they did. During our stay it was my girlfriend's birthday - for which they helped organise a dolphin trip at late notice the day before. As well as a birthday cake at no extra charge for that night. Jambiani beach is a great part of Zanzibar, it is enjoyed by both locals and tourists, and the town is safe and interesting to walk through. We had come from Bwejuu days before where the beach has a lot of litter and the only locals were trying to sell you stuff.

Miinukset: The only critique is the excursions are a little pricey so can get cheaper through booking elsewhere. As well as the 5% charge for card payments can be quite larger if you are paying for the entire stay there.

Plussat: We arrived in paradise

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Uzuri Villa was absolutely beautiful. The location, the facilities, the food and the staff. We loved everything about it.

Plussat: Really great location, amazing property and surrounding grounds, everything's done to the high level.

Miinukset: Considering everything else, the food (lunch/dinner options) did not live up to the high standard of everything else. It was a bit bland and, if you stay for longer than few nights, you get bit tired of it.

Plussat: Great location and ambience. Wonderful resort. Helpful staff. Great beach. Excellent pool.

Miinukset: Service could have been more attentive, pool „bar“ not always staffed. Time to get drinks served sometimes pretty long. But hey, pole pole. We are at Zanzibar.

Plussat: Location in Jambiani in the SE of Zanzibar, swimming pool, proximity to beach, beautiful grounds, stunning post & beam, palm thatch architecture especially in the reception, restaurant and bar building. Great staff and food.

Miinukset: Breakfast could be a bit slow from the kitchen, a buffet breakfast would help.

Plussat: The place is just a little paradise ! The duplex bungalow was wonderful & positioned right next to the swimming pool and surrounded by sand. The hotel is located on jambiani beach which is incredibly beautiful as well. Bar at the pool / restaurant (Swahili diner was excellent) / breakfast was as well meeting expectation. We would highly recommend this place for someone looking for a quiet inspirational place.

Miinukset: The only thing I have recommend is to review the price offer for Taxi & activities - expensive.

Plussat: The place was cool and sandy, it was right in front of the beach and short walk to nearby hair braid and restaurants. Also about an hour walk to Paje beach which isn’t too bad. Cute little boutique shop and friendly staff.

Plussat: The location is perfect, far from tourist traps, and the resort is very clean and perfect (beds, rooms...) the staff is very kind. The swimming pool is hot and clean and the activities catalog very easy to have access

Miinukset: Most of the staff (waiters more particularly) doesnt speak english good enough so it was difficult to get understood and we sometimes had order mistakes. The food is, correct but prices are quite high (similar to Europe).

Plussat: We loved this place, sands everywhere, you live there like home with barefoot! The possibility to eat in different places a'd great swimming pool is a plus! The beach is also very nice with lagoons very close. People are nice but like everywhere in Zanzibar.

Miinukset: The food was good. Breakfast could be improved. The room door could also be better as pretty difficult to close and no curtains so obliged to completely close the room so nobody see us from outside.

Plussat: Everything was perfect at Nur beach hotel. We enjoyed so much the peaceful atmosphere, the marvelous pool with direct views to a beautiful tidal beach, the tasty breakfast and the friendly hotel&restaurant staff who were always open to help you.

Miinukset: Only thing to comment is that there was no hairdryer on the room and the one in reception was out of order.

Plussat: Awesome spot, great food and very cool rooms.

Plussat: Everything was perfect. We did like the hotel The view was awesome

Miinukset: Waiting time at the restaurant

Plussat: Excellent location right on the beach. The rooms are clean and the food is great. The staff also helped us organize one of our trips at a reasonable price. We even took a "beachboy" on a boat trip to the reef though not too many things see underwater. Definitely need to try the wind kiting, they look very professional.

Miinukset: Nothing. We event took nights walks on the beach and every time we felt very safe, even if it was off season.

Plussat: We arrived and Omar great us from the entrance and explain all the activities and facilities of the hotel. He was very nice, kind and helpful and all of the staff of the resort as well. The place was looking much better in real than on photos. I felt in love of the atmosphere and the beach in front of the resort. We had a kite surf lesson there. We went for a walk on the beach and also if you are lucky for uncloudy morning you can see the sunrise at 6 am. Close by there is a bar with life music. I love my stay in this place and for sure I would love to be back someday.

Plussat: The location was great, the beach was almost at our doorstep. The staff was super friendly. The hotel area was decorated really nicely. Breakfast was good.

Miinukset: The mattres was a bit too Hard for our comfort. The bar/restaurant was a bit overpriced. And we saw a rat scurrying away under the roof. Could use a separation between the toilet and the bed.

Plussat: Friendly owners and staff Relaxed garden Nice swimming pool Beautiful beach

Miinukset: WIFI couild be better

Plussat: I check a standard room, and as I went in low season, they upgrade me to AC room, and bigger . The staff was great and helpful. Nice pool, front to see. Dinner at night was very good, specially the crab soup, and prices adequate. Breakfast, not buffet, but good.

Miinukset: My room needs a change of mattress.

Plussat: The place was very nice, just in front of the beach in Jambiani. Kobe house is a wonderful place with a pool and the ocean. The staff was very nice and the breakfast was amazing. Our room was perfect: clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend 100%.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Rannan läheisyydessä. Altaasta plussaa. Ruoka maittavaa.

Miinukset: Altaalla ei juurikaan henkilökunta ollut paikalla ja palvellut. Syrjäinen sijainti.

Plussat: Very nice place with Privacy and helpful people, the place is the best for the couple

Miinukset: The bed is a little bit wobbly

Plussat: Wonderful staff, lovely gardens and pool. The most stunning beach at the end of the garden. Perfect

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: PERFECT! Loved everything about Kobe House! The location is simply beautiful, the grounds are taken care of but still wild-- not perfectly manicured into losing all character. Plants, trees, sand. Lovely little pool, if it was summer we would have used it daily, for sure. Perfect stretch of beach. We found it so interesting to walk forever when the tide was out, so it wasn't a complaint for us. Locals were lovely. Suzanne the receptionist was THE BEST! So helpful for everything, and just nice to talk to. Room was quite comfortable and still had that Zanzibari character. Breakfasts were delicious and plentiful. Location was great, especially if you have a bike to explore both directions. If back in Zanzibar we will absolutely stay here again!!

Miinukset: one suggestion - Lunch and dinner could include more vegetarian options.

Plussat: Everything. The place is amazing, the staff is super friendly. they even upgrade my room without asking more money for it. The location is superb! I totally recommend this place.

Miinukset: nothing to say. everything was very good.

Plussat: Jambiani beach is such a beautiful beach just outside Kobe House. There are loads of beautiful restaurants around and lots of great activities. The location is ideal. The food was great and so were the staff. We loved our stay here.

Plussat: Friendly waiters and local staff. Good for family.

Miinukset: Noisy room near the main road and a bite far from the beach. No good coffee for breakfast.

Plussat: its was a real pleasure to be in this hotel, the staff was very very kindly, room was clean and calm, the food was delicious , the beach is near and very nice...thank you all for your hospitality

Miinukset: rien

Plussat: Food was really good and the decor was nice. Staff was very friendly

Miinukset: plenty of staff, but lack of authorized personnel (the owner often absent, so no possibility to discuss any issues during her absence)

Plussat: The staff is very nice and friendly. Also, the rooms are very clean and nicely refurnished. We enjoyed our breakfast and the dinner was always a pleasure! Additional great thing about this hotel is that they organize whatever you need or wish. For example we needed someone to come and pick us up at the ferry station as we arrived at Zanzibar -- no problem! Also, we were interested in doing some tours (Safari Blue, Stonetown) -- no problem! Everything was organized by the hotel. We felt welcome and well taken care of at this place. Of course, sometimes it was a little loud in the mornings, but I am sure that every place on the island has the same problem. Thus, we were very happy that we decided to go to this hotel. Next time when we come back to Zanzibar, we will definitely stay at this hotel!

Plussat: Hosts, staff, bungalows are great. It is very clean with a nice pool and sunbeds so you can chill out by the pool while you are waiting or after you come from the beach. Breakfast and restaurant at Seconda Stella were great. It is probably the best pizza on Zanzibar island. We were dining every evening at Seconda Stella, everything we tried was great: seafood platter, octopus, pizza. They also have nice European wines and good cocktails.

Miinukset: It is not on the beach, you have to walk 10 minutes through the village which is nice during the day but during the night there is no street light and no people around. Also, for tours, it's better to book on the beach. Prices of the tours offered by hotel are expensive, double priced respect what you arrange alone walking the beach with local guides.

Plussat: The location turned out okay. Beach was a walking distance. The premises were clean and well kept the food was awesome and the staff and owners were great and accommodating. Enjoyed our stay very much.

Miinukset: Our stay was great. Though got to know it was not on the beach side after making the booking and could not cancel as would've been charged.

Plussat: It was a quiet area and you could walk on the beach either way to other villages

Plussat: View is good from the restaurant at night.

Miinukset: The room and the bathroom are old and not clean at all.

Plussat: We love Mbuyuni, because it’s simple and cool. It’s s right on a beautiful beach, lively but quiet, has all what you need to enjoy it and relax, great food and drinks, plus a nice swimming pool to chill out at low tide

Miinukset: Nothing. But you could add some balls to play volley and soccer on the beach and few bicycles to ride around

Plussat: Very beautifull area trees all around, quite and peacefull. Staff very kind. I walk in the beach to jambiani and to paje i didnt saw a place that i rather to stay. I just found somethimes to quite, a bit of music during day and evenings will be perfect.

Plussat: Excellent location

Miinukset: No kettle and basic ammenities

Plussat: Very nice place! Very nice staff!

Plussat: All the staff are really nice people and very helpful. Excellent cuisine and cocktails for a good price compared to all other places around. All facilities are clean and charming. Highly recommend this place as a little piece heaven and a fantastic place to rest. Thanks again for the great week!

Plussat: We stayed here for our honeymoon and had the most wonderful and romantic time! The room was gorgeous, and so peaceful. We loved the pool, the beach front location (we took our powerkite out most mornings at low tide and had a blast!) and the chilled out nature of Mbuyuni. I particularly enjoyed lounging in a hammock with a book. The staff were excellent - really friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was tasty! The lunch and dinner food served in the restaurant is AMAZING, e ate there every night!! We'll definitely be back!

Plussat: Nice rooms, great food, lovely pool with plenty of different seating options along the beach.

Miinukset: Could only swim in the sea at hightide. If rooms had a fridge and kettle it would have been perfect.

Plussat: Ruoka

Plussat: Rooms were clean and nicely furnished - with good air con! Overall pretty grounds with good pool and terrace down to the beach.

Miinukset: As a single traveller, there wasn’t much activity for socialising.

Plussat: Good location, tide charts are left on restaurant tables every morning so you can plan your day. Food was really good too, better when it's not busy, my meals were burnt at really busy times but excellent otherwise. Real Italian espresso is available, but costs as much as beer or wine. Pool is big and water really warm. Staff is friendly and accommodating, hotel transfer was easy to organise and on time, all in all an excellent stay. Best thing is you don't need any money during the stay, they put everything on the hotel bill and you pay during checkout.

Plussat: The whole place is just gorgeous. I had most amazing room with Ocean view and private place for sunbath. The food is really nice and tasty. Great drink bar and the pool:)

Miinukset: I think that shower tray should be changed or at least refreshed.

Plussat: Good location, clean and the hotel looked very nice. Staff were friendly and helpful

Miinukset: No hairdryer No activities that were advertised e.g. cooking lessons, yoga, darts, art classes etc but they do have 2 movie nights and a band 1 night within the 5 nights we stayed there. Expensive for a hotel without the additional touches

Plussat: Good and friendly staff, nice pool

Miinukset: It is between Paje and Jambiani, so always a Taxi or longer Walk along the beach is necessary which is imbossible during high tide. Beach itself is mostly stones, so no good swimming. European prices for african standard.

Miinukset: Not good organized. Coctails really bad. Music was 3 songs playing all the time (local ones -really now? ) Charged extra when using credit card - nowhere in the property was mentioned. Smelly accommodation.

Plussat: Relaxed, no hassle, comfortable but still African...

Miinukset: Only the fact that we had to leave.

Plussat: Stuff, location and food were excellent.

Miinukset: Bungalows on the beach are very old and have bad smell.

Plussat: Wonderful location on a not too busy part of the beach. Area is very much a mix of locals & tourists - I hope the balance continues to stay the same and not too many hotels get built. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Plussat: Perfect location, friendly staff, great food! We enjoyed our stay!

Plussat: Beach at hotel, restaurant - variety of food, drinks and friendly servers, receptionist is accommodating & helpful.

Miinukset: Not a 4 star by far, maybe 2 star. Very basic room, no amenities in room, mosquito net had 20 holes - beats the point of the net, flooring poor quality, bathroom poor, no plug points for chargers - had to reach behind bed at ground level to find a point among the dust. Cockroach and big ants in room, Run down facilities - need to be renovated. We were happy to leave & forfeit non-refundable payment but got a refund - thank you.

Plussat: Sea View Lodge is a great place with a superb beachfront location with a very nice illuminated pool and great beachfront relaxing area. The food in the restaurant is very good. The staff is friendly and helpful. Rich and tasty breakfast with lots of choices from eggs, omelets, sausages to fresh fruits and yoghurt.

Miinukset: If it weren't for details in the room (#7) the overall score could be higher. Such as the untight shower head spurting water all around the shower but not the direction wanted, the light switches at the terrace which give an electric shock when touched, the mosquito net at the bed with holes in it, water leaking into the room when heavy raining, stucked terrace door that only a strong man man is able to open... Generally, the room makes a bit shoddy impression which you would not expect in a "boutique" type of hotel for 100 USD a night. The á la carte menu offers good quality for a price that is well over average. There is a 5 % surcharge when using credit card.

Plussat: Nice view and the staff in the restaurant only was nice and they did a great customer service.

Miinukset: When we reach the hotel, the reception was so dirty , the floor was full of dust . No concierge services to carry the luggage . We booked a room on the beach however they said that the roof felt down and we cant give you this room , we was upset about it since they gave us a Different room which is not sea front . We didn’t pay first since the receptionist said that she will talk to the owner first , the owner came later on and he reduce 10% from the original price which is the real value of this room since it is not a sea front room and he didn’t even apologize for the experience he just said what we will do the roof felt down . The room that we got was not ready so we waited for 30 minutes to prepare for us a room . The floor of the room was dirty , no blow dry , no mirror inside the room , the water is not working we asked for maintenance twice . There is no blanket for bed , just a bed cover and that is it . So totally i am not happy with the experience that i had there , and i don’t recommend it as a relaxation place .

Plussat: Rooms and the hotel overall is nicely decorated, blends in nicely with the surrounding nature. Right by the beach. Tide is out in the day time and comes back in around 4 pm (at least during our stay last September this was the case). You can enjoy walking in the Indian Ocean and taking pictures of the amazing view during day time and enjoy having a dip in late afternoon. There is a pool to take a dip any time, too. The staff is very friendly and nice. All the food we had from the restaurant was lovely, especially the sea food. We did snorkeling with a little dhow in low tide, sea was turquoise and amazing however I was not amazed with the coral. the overall sailing experience in a tiny handmade wooden dhow makes it an experience anyway. There is a little fridge in the room, AC and hot water working well.

Miinukset: The rooms are rather dark in the night time, perhaps the lighting not efficient.

Plussat: the location on the beach is superb, the beach itself is beautiful the restaurant is quite nice even though the portions are a bit small the fact that we don't have to wear any shoes at any time is wonderful, there is sand everywhere the pool area is nice and the children loved it

Miinukset: the bedrooms were very basic which was a disappointment super basic furniture, no decoration some lights were not working, in the room as well as in the bathroom ; we had electricity issues during our stay, we had no functional bedside lamps meaning we could not read at night the bed mosquito nets were full of holes, mosquitoes could fly through

Plussat: For people who REALLY want PEACE AND QUIET , this place is a paradise. It is quite a distance into town, but if you like walking, this is not a problem. The food was good and AnneLisa and her staff were charming and helpful

Miinukset: Jambiani is about 20 mins away, when walking on the beach. However, when it is high tide, it is not possible to walk on the beach and you have to walk a part of the way on the Main Road, and it is longer. (And not pleasant)

Plussat: location, sea views and relaxed atmosphere

Miinukset: water pressure in shower

Plussat: LOCATION: Location is secluded and is perfect if you want to disconnect from the rest of the world and just relax. The hotel has access to a secluded beach which was empty every day. However this comes at a price: amenities are a 15-20 minute walk away. THE FACILITIES: The bed is confortable and large. The room has good storage space. The outside space (day beds, hammocks...) are great and very confortable. FOOD: We only had breakfast at Zanzest, and it was filling, falvoursome and overall good. Cannot comment on dinner service, but from the menu the prices seem in line with other restaurants in Jambiani.

Miinukset: STAFF: The staff at Zanzest are polite and correct. However we did not feel the Zanzibar hosting that we have felt at other places in the island. FACILITIES: This is where Zanzest could do with the most improvement. The shower pressure was really poor. We let a memeber of staff know about the issue, they came to see what the pressure was like, but nothing improved. Also no toileteries were provided, not even hand soap. Everywhere else where we have stayed in Zanzibar, has provided simple toileteries which helps when youre travelling light. The electricity was intermittent especially during the night, meaning the fan would stop working and the room got quite warm. A safe in the room would be a necessity, especially as you leave the keys in the hotel when you are out. Lastly, if you reserve a room with a bath (as stated on room decription) dont expect to be able to use this as a bath as water pressure is too low and no plug for the bath hole is provided. But I guess this is in line with the environmentally friendly outlook this hotel has.

Plussat: Staff where very warm and welcoming Good food Breakfast was good fruit,tea coffee, eggs cooked to your choice..cake fresh juice.. Location was beautiful and quiet the beaches are beautiful you can walk for miles Friendly local people Village not to far to walk to.

Miinukset: We booked a garden chalet..on arrival we found it way to small my husband 6ft and he struggled to stand up right. Old fan in room...two cockroaches as soon as we opened the door...very stuffy no room for luggage ...very dark .... We upgraded to the hot tub room on the front. This room was better but the room was full of ants...the cleaning staff left us ant spray... The bed was covered in small flies when we woke in the morning.. Dull lighting in the room... Could do with an overall re refurbishment ... Room was not value for money.

Plussat: Zanzest was quite and relaxing! Perfect to enjoy the wild atmosphere of the southern part of Zanzibar. We simply forgot what time and day was. Despite it was the peak of high season, we had often the impression of being almost alone, which was absolutelly positive for us. Food was absolutelly amazing ad the location excellent for a relaxing holiday

Miinukset: I couldn't see negative aspects of my stay, but it is really depending on your expectation and on what you are looking for. Here I saw an authentic environment, much more than what you can find in a fake 5 stars resorts. Hence , if you are looking for clubs and excitement this is not the right place. If you need air conditioning and WiFi wherever you step this is not the right place. I would absolutelly advice to be keen on unplugging from city-life facilities and living a Zanzibar experience at Zanzest.

Plussat: The management and staff were wonderful, friendly and very welcoming. The beach is beautiful and even though it was peak season we still had the beach to ourselves most days. The food was amazing and prices affordable.

Plussat: 1. Very friendly owners 2. Quiet 3. Nice view and hotel territory 4. You can hear ocean at night 5. Food in the restaurant is good...but more expensive relative to other good restaurants there in Zanzibar

Miinukset: 1. Room is very simple and quite old, definitely needs renovation, doesn't correspond to its price of $145 per day 2. No hot water, water pressure is low 3. Ants in the room 4. Far from the good beach (10-15 mins on feet), hotel's beach can be used only while very high tide and anyway water is full with seaweed. 5. Very dim light in the evenings cause weak power generator and also several times a day this generator is switched off, as a result - blackout (in all the hotel & restaurant) 6. Waiters are super slow in the restaurant, especially in the mornings. We sometimes were going tours in the mornings, and specially for these reasons got up earlier to order breakfast like 1 hour in advance to be in time for tour transfer, but they couldn’t give breakfast during this 1 hour! And even sometimes they gave not a full breakfast. At dinners waiters often for some reason try to take your food while it still not finished.

Plussat: Very friendly staff, went out of their way to get us an early breakfast in the day we left. The hammocks and “swinging beds” around the property were a nice place to relax when not playing in the ocean.

Miinukset: The rooms were quite dark, which made it difficult to do things at night in the room. As many places in Africa, water pressure and temperature in the shower seemed to be a bit of a game of chance.

Plussat: The location is great and the swimming pool was very important, because at high tide is almost impossible go to the beach and with low tide there is no water. The room have A/C and a fan. The staff is very nice.

Miinukset: Our room was near a bar with loud music until late. In 3 days we just have one hot shower, we talk with the staff and they said that after praying they will fix, but never happened. The room needed some maintenance as well. The mosquito net didn't cover the bed, the shower has no curtain so the whole bathroom stay wet. The window from the bathroom was broken, there was no amenities in the room. The fridge need some maintenance because wasn't working and was all full of rust. Was missing one door at the wardrobe. At check out we've try to pay by card and the guy from the reception didn't knew how to work with the credit card machine, we've figured out how it works and teached him. The restaurant wasn't very good.

Plussat: Right on beach. We loved the big thermos of delicious masala tea.greaat time snorkeling in old wooden boat.

Plussat: Outside it is a nice hotel. Nice beach. Beautiful sunrise and moonrise. Close to the village.

Miinukset: In front of our rooms only one broken chair. Moscito nets full of holes. It could be much better with just a few chairs and table to rest beside your room.

Plussat: I liked generally almost everything some staff are good others it depends with the mood that day.

Miinukset: Bathrooms and toilets are not scrubbed well on some days so I cant blame any specific person I believe it depends with who is on shift on certain room on specific days

Plussat: Haji is one of the best owner I've met! He's always there any time for you and help you with evrything you can imagine! The hotel is front beach and so nice with a clean swiming pool and real well located (many bars, beach restaurant and shops around). You can book your tours from the hotel (or taxi or whatever you need!). Great staff, good simple food and Kids friendly! I highly recommand the place! :)

Plussat: Location is good with direct view on and access to the beach. Pool is nice. Friendly and helpfull staff. I actually did not check if payment with credit card is possible.

Miinukset: The place is rather uneventful, which means that for dinner and drinks you would better move to more atmospherical neighbours. No soap / shampoo / bath foam is provided. Quality of the food is not too great. Overall the place could do with a bit of refurbishing / upkeep.

Plussat: The ocean is 3 m away from our room. We fell in love with it. The location is amazing! Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Breakfast is quiet poor to be honest. Food and beverage department should improve.

Plussat: The staff were extremely pleasant and helpful and responded to any requests very promptly. The bungalows were really lovely and extremely comfortable. The cleaning staff and waiting staff were very hard-working and efficient. The location was beautiful and the beach was a wonderful place to swim. The pool was a really good size with a deep end and was very well maintained.

Miinukset: The evening buffet was very disappointing, especially for a non-meat-eater, and I thought was very poor value for money. The resort does not serve alcohol or allow guests to bring alcohol to their table at dinner time. I really think this should be made very clear at the time of booking, as most Western visitors would assume that they could have a beer with their meal. I think the catering generally needs a very thorough review.

Plussat: Staff were super nice and friendly. Beautiful quiet beach. Great food at the restaurant. All in all a great experience.

Miinukset: Rooms can be improved. Bathroom / shower were old.
