Wonderful Pool Villa directly at the beach. Amazing food and nice interior. Great pools and charming open air spa. Amazing people. Parking for our car and nice architecture. Highly recommend.

The hotel is right on the beach and is very peaceful and relaxing, perfect if you’re looking for a quiet and secluded getaway. However, if you’re looking for more things to do around the hotel, it might feel a little boring, as there isn’t much around.
The staff are extremely kind, welcoming and helpful. The food is excellent — breakfast, lunch and dinner were all very good. They are also very flexible with both meal times and requests to modify dishes. The only downside is that the service can be a little slow, but honestly, when you’re on holiday, it’s quite acceptable.
The room was beautiful, spacious and tastefully decorated with a lovely local touch.
A few things could be improved: the Wi-Fi is very slow, especially in the evening, and unfortunately the beach was not really accessible because of the large amount of seaweed. We also organised an excursion through the hotel which wasn’t managed in the best way, although the hotel later offered us a discount to make up for it.

The staff made this hotel stand out. They kept saying, "Everything is possible," and they meant it! They went out of their way to make us feel welcome. I want to commend Rashid, Stella, Masoud, and Hallelujah for their outstanding service in the restaurant and bar. The cocktails and snacks were excellent, and we loved sitting in the beautiful terrace bar where we could look out at the ocean. We found it a great place to get work done! (We were traveling for work.) The food was excellent. We did not agree with the reviewer who said that the portions were small -- far from it! We had more than enough food, especially during breakfasts. We also did not experience shortages of butter or beer. The cottages were large and tastefully decorated. We particularly loved the hanging swing lounger on the verandas of our cottage. We thought the housekeeping staff did a very nice job of tidying up our room each day, as well as providing turn-down service in the evenings. Christina and Philomon at the reception were always friendly and helpful. Finally, I want to acknowledge excellent spa service.
The hotel was undergoing some renovation while we were there, so there was quite a bit of noise during the day. However, the workers didn't start until everyone was awake, so it was not very disturbing in the end. The hotel is more rustic than some travelers might like, but we found that was part of its charm. The only thing that I didn't love were the "hustlers" on the beach. Whenever we tried to walk on the beach, we were inundated by people trying to sell us things. That said, everyone has to make a living, so we were able to politely decline and were then left alone.

We eventually reached an agreement with the hotel management. At first, we wanted to leave because the villa did not meet our expectations. In the end, the management offered us a complimentary transfer to our next hotel, a boat trip to Mnemba Island, and free dinners included during our stay. This made the overall price feel much more reasonable considering the condition of the villa.
The restaurant staff were exceptionally friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our stay.
The food was very good, with a nice variety and consistently good quality.
We booked the exclusive villa for four nights, but many of the advertised features were completely missing, including the hammock, wardrobe, daybed, and table.
The villa clearly needed renovation, which was also confirmed by the hotel management.
Several facilities were defective, including lights, showers, and water taps, which negatively affected our stay.
For the price of the exclusive villa, we expected everything to be complete, functional, and exactly as advertised. Unfortunately, this was not the case.
