The location and vibe of the place was really nice.

No telephone/ hair drier/ kettle inside the room.

pool

lack of info about the price of yoga only 2 Vege options for breakfast

very spacious rooms, very clean with view over the pool and the beach. The private pier with the Jetty Bar over the water is the perfect for sunset and cocktail. the swimming pool is very pleasant and the food is exquisite. very copious breakfast with tasty fruits and hot options. I’d come back any time.

We were on a family break and enjoyed very much bith the hospitality and the facilities. I would recommend it anytime without hesitation!

I loved how the rooms where very distanced from one another and the eco-friendly gesture to have the opportunity to refill our water bottles at the reception. The food was tasty and most of the staff were very helpful with a positive attitude :) one even taught us how to play BAO.

The location was far from shops and restaurants. It was also difficult to get back to the hotel on the beach when the tide was high and it did not seem very safe to take the road either.

incredible staff, amazing location

would like to have a greater supply of local foods

Food.

There is no fridge in rooms ! Very bad bottom of ocean infront of hotel's beach. There is no wifi on 2nd and 3th line rooms. There is no place to get ice after midnight. There is not money count machine on reception and you have to wait too many when pay.

Great view, quiet location, jetty bar is great, kind staff

Very poor,, limited WiFi, breakfast was good but the same everyday, pool was not too clean due to the lot trees and bushes, many ants on the terrace, there was some bad smell in the bathroom, and in the room as well

everything was nice

nothing to say

We like salt water in the pool, very nice and friendly staff. We have to mention Gertruda and Jonass, who been so so nice to us during our stay. The food in the resort was aslo very delicious but the menu could be bigger, boring for stay longer that 1 week.

We should be in 4* resort but the room was definitely not that level. We had very old room which need renovation. Main door and bathroom door creaked, both toilets were broken and leaking. The bed need more that 2 small pilows. The cabinet door can not be closed. The next thing is renovation works during our stay on the room next to ours which made a big discomfort for us mainly when you are travelling with small kid.

The location, food and staff

To much sellers on the beach (not a hotel problem)

Beautiful location and friendly people.

The water stopped briefly.

EVERYTHING! My stay was fantastic from start to finish. It was my first time in Zanzibar but everyone made my stay easy and enjoyable. The spa ladies, reception, housekeeping and restuarant staff were amazing. My room was perfectly located so I had both sea and pool view. Sunrises are to die for on the jetty. Honestly everything really was great. The room was large and always kept clean with daily housekeeping and evening turn down service to spray the bugs away plus fresh water. Staff always had a friendly smile, engaged in banter and made me feel at home and not alone. Internet was amazing. The massages were to die for. The bed was very comfortable and large. I stretched out and everything. Good wardrobe with lock safe for valuable. Accidentally didn't lock at times and nothing went missing. Aircon was great. It's not 5 star but it does a pretty good job. No TV in the rooms but you really won't need it. Some evenings have entertainment like live dancers, movie night, dj performances on the jetty as well as yoga on some mornings. There's a gift shop. Hotel is on the long stretch of beach joining Paje and Jambiani so lots of options for meals at other hotels and lots of excursions salesmen offering various adventures. The hotel does offer these as well if you prefer. About 5km of beach to either Paje where there's a great supermarket, local market with paintings, crafts etc and the main town with everything from ATM, bakeries, salons, ice cream parlours etc or go the other way to Jambiani. Most hotels have night events if you want to try something else out. Spice island hotel and resort is just well placed.

I have a terrible palate but I managed to eat most things or find something I preferred which the chef accommodated well. So this isn't a complaint but rather a compliment as my needs were met as best as possible. I booked on bed and breakfast basis so I could have options but ate at the hotel most evenings after all.

good localization and personal

insects in room, no Wi-Fi in room, generally not a 4stars hotel

Good, serene location. Personnel very helpful, make everything you could feel yourself happy.

Few day's Wifi was not working. Most of the days the connection was quite good still.

Room very clean Pool very big and the deep end deep enough to do some serious diving. Found the whole complex to be huge with lots of space. You could easily have 200 more guests as the pool area and restaurant would be big enough. Loved the Pizzas at the restaurant Nice vibe here here the management team are attentive and bend over backwards to make your stay wonderful. Wildlife in the resort is pretty cool to see lizards walking around the well kept gardens. Also spotted an elephant shrew.

More crows not enough tropical birds

Hospitality, Jetty Bar, Atmosphere, swahili night, towel service, room cleaning, room space.

Minor details (hard pillows, noisy flush)

The staff was friendly and helpful The jetty bar and view The free bottles of water in the room The swimming pool area The location right between Jambiani and Pajé

No hairdresser in the room The breakfast could be improved

great professional service

no gym

The warmliness of staff

I loved the jetty area for the awesome view. The room was dirty. It was not cleaned before check in and had to make a request during the stay for it to be cleaned. There were no basic amenities like water kettle and tea/coffee items. There were no slippers, no wifi, no television. And the sockets are not common African sockets. They were European models!!!

pool area separation from public beach - very secluded and peaceful very pretty

limited food menu, invest in a pizza oven to compete with other restaurants
