Our expectations prior to arrival was that this was a smaller family owned boutique hotel. This wasn't quite the case. However, the lovely staff was very accommodating, food was above average and we have nothing in particular to complain about really. But for couples (on honey moon like us) looking for an exclusive personal and romantic resort, this didn't quite meet the requirements.

To be honest, the beach that I've heard so much about was a disappointment.

Absolutely awesome ! Fabulous location, great food, beautiful beach, turquoise water, great staff and a terrific selection of Cuban cigars. If you can drag yourself away from this place, Zanzibar itself is very interesting, the culture and the people were fascinating. We may have to make a special trip back here before we croak.

If you prefer a luxurious resort that is flawless - this is the place. This is a great "international" place and does not leave that much taste of Zanzibar, or Africa, in your mouth since it is very polished and it could be situated anywhere more or less: Gran Canaria, Phuket, India - you would not see a difference. But a very nice and comfortable place with great pool and beach all taken care of by splendid staff and management.

Loved this place although it´s a quite big resort. Nicely decorated comfortable rooms and public areas, fantastic service, great food especially at lunch and breakfast. Nice beach and poolarea. Don´t miss a treatment in the spa! I´d love to go back.
