Very private and private pool was good to have , staff were excellent

There were ant infestations everywhere and more critters and bugs than we are used to from our prior trips to Africa

the size of the rooms

The prices are too high and on top of the hotel money they also chatge additionally for water , drinks etc

The room is wonderful. The private pool is very nice. The resort is massive with many facilities and activities to pass your time. You can spend your full stay without having to leave the hotel. The food is nice and great variety to choose from. Staff are friendly and welcoming.

The monkeys are a serious issue in this hotel. There are warnings and precautions mentioned in leaflets and on the glass door of the villa. We did not enjoy much of our time in the private pool of the villa as we couldn’t leave snacks outside by the pool. We had daily encounters with the monkeys by the private pool. We witnessed the monkeys entering the villa next to us and we could hear the woman inside scream for a good 10-15 mins before anyone came to help. We called reception and informed of what happened and that the monkeys were outside our pool area too, they said they’ll send security but no one came. Luckily the pool cleaner came and we sent him to help the woman in the villa next to us. We have also requested a secluded private pool as my wife is muslim. However the pool was clearly visible to the neighboring guests from the side of the pool and to the staff from the back as well. The only reason we chose to stay in this resort is the “private” pool but out private pool experience is disappointing to say the least.

Privacy of private pool. Quality of food. Range of food options.

Beach was difficult to walk on barefoot due to crabs and other sea litter (seaweed etc).

This resort is wonderful! Amazing villas with private pools, magnificent infinity main pool, mesmerising gardens! The staff are going over and beyond to make you feel comfortable! The villas are spotless, all design detail well thought! Buffet breakfast and dinner were fabulous!

The beach in front of the resort is very beautiful but due to tides it is not worth to swim when comparing to other beaches you find in Zanzibar

from the service to the food to the location everything was complete perfection! I highly recommend anyone visit in Zanzibar to check out the residence! You will not be disappointed!!!!

Clean and nice rooms

my visit took place during tide time. Sea was so bad and dirty. I booked six nights. Booking eas non refundable. Due to mu itinerary schedule, I stayed 4 nights and 5 days but i paid 6 nights. My booking was 7 to 13 may. I checked in on 8 may 6 am and checked out 12 may 11 pm. I paid both early check in and late check out. Hotel could make me a favor and they might have refunded me one night, but they did not.

Dinner at this place is superb. pool is very nice. the beach is nearby.

WIFI was very bad. you have a pool in your villa with zero privacy. don't try early check in. it is far away from any touristic attraction. and better book all activity by yourself and not by the hotel.
