Breakfast was lovely
A lot of lizards come in and out of the room however the staff are very helpful if you need help to try and get them out and i guess it comes with the location. not a big issue

8.0
It was a very quiet, peaceful, and friendly place. The staff was perfect, and their management was full of interest. The view is fantastic. The blue and green meets each other
This is a wild environment. Therefore, there are several insects and animals. If you are not afraid of them, no worries, go ahead.

We loved that the staff anticipated our needs and preferences. Nothing was too much trouble. They didn't mind deviating from the set menu to accommodate us when possible.
A few board games and cards in the villa to entertain ourselves with as a family while relaxing and enjoying the relaxing afternoons.

We loved how this lodge was very small and intimate, perfect for relaxing. Athough most of the rooms were fall, at times, we felt as though we had the whole place to ourselves. The facilities were well looked after and our room was just stunning - it was tucked away from all the other villas with a large veranda with two sun beds and chairs. There was an excellent variety of food and drink available at the lodge and the restaurant setting was just stunning. All staff were very friendly and made us feel at home. Esther, our waitress, was amazing!!
The location is a little bit out of the way, which wasn’t a bad thing as it only took 20 minutes to reach stone town, but there wasn’t much else available near the resort.
7.0
The facilities are breathe taking and the constant change of ocean views is a plus as there are low and high tides in the area.
The selling point are the beautiful sunsets every evening on the restaurant deck or the pool area near the bar. There are also locals near to the area that bring a lovely ambience in the evenings when they return from work and play beach soccer or take a swim at the beach.
The only unexpected challenges we faced was the lizards that become room mates lol but not harmful at all and the additional charges for water as there aren't local shops near by to buy water and water in the rooms isn't enough considering the heat in Zanzibar.

We loved the staff who was working in the hotel. We stayed for 9 days and we really loved everyone working there. The rooms are really nice and big and the cocktails were delicious!
You cant really go on the beach, but its not too far to go to Kendwa or Nungwi where you have the best 2 beaches in the island.

The prices of the restaurant
7.0
the decor or the hotel was amazing, clean and aesthetically very beautiful. the staff where really nice and sweet (except the management on the first day where very insensitive).
1. the cleanliness of the rooms was not at level with the pricing if the hotel.
2.living room did not have AC.
3.the towels where too thin for the location and weather.
4. management (manager) was rude during the first day and we has just arrived in the morning, and not willing to tell us approximately when the room will be ready so we where stranded for and hour or so, waiting for the room to be “cleaned”, where have informed the management before hand on our arrival time.
5. moreover we had to pay extra for an additional person (250$) a night even when we told them before hand about this, and they didn’t raise it as an issue.
6. hotel very far from everything, (there is no beach near the hotel, just a cliff and rocky shore).
7. restaurant, was below average.
8. no phone or tv in the room to contact the reception.
9. restroom in the hotel had old shower head, and water was spilling everywhere.

white linen and nice bathroom. the food was amazing and the staff were helpful
the property is adjacent to a small port /harbour with stagnant water. As a result there are a number of mosquitos on the deck - however we were provided with insect repellent

Amazing view and staff
6.0
the views from the pool and from the restaurant are amazing, and the hotel is very pretty and well decorated. Gives calm vibes.
firstly we got to a room that was the most far from recepcion, restaurant etc. The room was beautiful but had two problems, did not had wifi, so we had to complain about it a few times, until they changed our room and we could clearly hear people praying and singing a few times.
when they changed the room the wifi was ok, but we could still hear the singing and praying (one of the praying times is at 5:00AM) but we heard it a little less than in the first room.
9.0
The place is really nice with spectacular views. The staff is super helpful and polite. They tried to help me with everything and made my days there better.
The internet is not working in the room and couldn't use my phone at all in the room. Also the restaurant menu is very small and for vegans they don't have many options. Fries & salad only. Also you can't find other restaurants near by.
8.0
Breakfast was nice but rather small portions
More portions for the veggies, also the honey toast tasted a bit odd but maybe we weren’t use to that flavor
