I had a 8 nights stay at this hotel with a friend of mine. It's located about a 15-20 minutes drive away from the Zanzibar airport. You can book a transfer from the airport to the hotel, which is the easiest way to get there. My e-mail conversation with the manager Mr. Hussein before the stay was friendly and informative... More

But, when it came close to leaving we requested and extra night as we just did NOT want to leave. The hotel management... More

This was one of the nicest places I have ever stayed. I booked in with a friend for 2 nights only and ended up staying for the whole week. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, the food was absolutely delicious and the hotel was idyllic. Easy access to Stonetown (10 min taxi or very cheap ride on the bus!),... More

The Resort is tucked away in the arms of nature. The surrounding sea and the greens was a perfect spot for me and my husband who share a very busy working life. It gave us all that we needed for a peaceful, beautiful and enjoyable holiday. The hospitality we experienced was amazing and the Manager was extremly warm and friendly.... More
