My husband and I stayed at Red Monkey Lodge with two friends for two weeks in February 2013. The three others wanted to kite and I wanted to really relax. We all had the best vacation ever. We were welcomed warmly and found the service to be very good all through our stay: everybody was very helpful and caring. The... More

We stayed at Red Monkey in February 2013 and it was amazing! We weren't just blown away by the breath-taking views, the friendly service and the lovely bungalows but also by the way its owners clearly care about the local community. You can feel that there is a lot going back into Jambiani which is also noticeable when talking to... More

Our family spent two weeks in march at the Red Monkey and we loved it!!! We traveled the island for two months and when we came to Red Monkey it truly felt like coming home. The lodge is right on a cliff facing a small forest strip on one side and the beautiful beach on the other side. The bungalows... More

Me and 3 buddies had a great time at Red Monkey Lodge. It's a small cozy lodge on the beach, and its in a really nice area. We spent 4 nights here and we had a blast. There were events going on all the time, and we really enjoyed the Monday Jam session, with good musicians, great food and drinks... More

I stayed here with a friend and we had such a nice time! Really reccomendable. Nice staff and lovely surroundings. Jambiani is a nice little village with great hospitality. If you are interested in surfing there is great oppotunities for that. It is easy to get a taxi to drive other places and the people working there is willing to... More

A great place recommended by other expat colleagues. At the furthest end of Jambiani Beach a great spot for unwinding and literally getting away from it all. A bit overpriced but very charming. The rooms were large and comfortable in a cool funky design. The nearby village is a little noisy. So don't plan on sleeping in but the beach... More

We stayed at a sister property to Red Monkey - Bahati Villas, managed by the same group. The staff were excellent, Rama in particular was very nice. We had to leave early because our daughter wasn't well, and the owner Mark was very understanding and cooperative. The property is quite nice, and provides a great setting, especially for a couple...

Stayed there for 2 nights and enjoyed it! The property itself is beautiful and very special, overlooking a beautiful beach. The rooms have a "Flinstoness" touch, which is charming. Despite overlooking a beautiful beach, be aware of the fact that it is at the most southern end of Jambiani and that the walk into the heart of Jambiani is one... More

We booked Red Monkey for two nights in January 2013. The hotel - at least when we stayed there - was booked almost exclusively by the kiters. I almost think that we were only two non-kiters staying there at the time. There was nothing wrong with the kites, It was actually fun watching them, but my thought was that maybe... More
