The Hotel organize different excursions but I prefer to relax and enjoying the place. Definitely a very nice hotel, the location is just perfect and the restaurant is very good. I will come back very soon.

“Great place for relax!”

Reviewed February 3, 2013

I stayed 2 weeks this January. The place just opened and it's great, the staff is really nice and welcoming. The room had a huge terrace facing the ocean and a swinging chair where I spent several hours reading and sleeping.
We went to Stone Town a couple of times and we did a few excursions organized by them but for the rest we stayed at the hotel.
