Perfect place for those who prefer quite places and meditation. Very nice personel, and if some services are different from big international hotels - you will appriciate this homemade slowliness and eccept the natural rhythm of life. Not the place for those looking for animation or discotheques. Other referencies contain enough information, what I would add is about snorkeling. I... More

We spent 7 nightsin February in beautifully furnished rooms with an awesome view to the ocean. It was very relaxing, the place is not crowded at all, offers great food and fruit juices, and has a very friendly and helpful staff. There were always free sunbeds by the pool, and everything was very clean. On most days we did not... More

Ras Michamvi feels like the end of the world. Its isolation makes it a little piece of paradise. The visual setting is unmatched. Two beaches are yours and yours alone. The incredibly attentive and helpful staff will set up snorkeling trips, cab rides down the beach 20 km to the beautiful beach at Jambiani, laundry services - whatever you need.... More

Nice small hotel ingreat location at end of peninsula. Nice rooms and swimming pool and 2 good beaches. While staff friendly and helpful, the quality of food served at the restaurant was very mixed, and lacked fresh seafood. Service was also slow in the restaurant - few alternatives to eating at the hotel all the time was a bit frustrating... More

While the resort is a bit remote, it's definitely worth the schlepp. The rooms are basic but very clean and spacious with great beds and fresh flowers every day. The pool is lovely, overlooking the Indian Ocean and the service is excellent. And the landscaping at the hotel grounds is really nicely done. The food is also good. If you... More

This hotel was exactly what we wanted after trekking up Kilimanjaro. We had 3 wonderful restful days where we were treated like royalty by the very friendly efficient staff. A beautiful setting overlooking the Indian ocean with lovely soft white sand. The food was excellent with Hassain the restaurant manager looking after us well. Our room was clean and comfortable...

The hotel is fairly isolated with its own strip of beautiful white sand beach and within walking distance of the bigger Coconut Beach. It also has a nice pool. Our ride to the hotel was late, but the problem was corrected quickly. The room was big with nice beds and a large bathroom. Tasteful and simple decor. It was great... More

My daughter and I stayed here for three nights in March 2011, obviously an off-season period as there were only a handful of other guests and they had decided to renovate parts of the hotel, including the restaurant. All meals were thus served poolside. Notwithstanding the constant electricity cuts (to be expected in Zanzibar and many hotels put in their... More

This is exactly what we hoped to find on Zanzibar: Solitude, quiet, beautiful views, great service, large clean romantic rooms, monkeys 5 meters from the dinner tables. Of course there is the traditional African service difficulties: Power shortages, ice cream shortages, red wine shortages, etc., but that's a part of the charm in my opinion. As long as the staff...
