It's worthwhile reserving a room from this resort, which is situated near the airport and managed by a Finnish General Manager Jaana. Using her own example and vision she is developing an international level resort destination, which is already now "good enough". We travel a lot, so we have ample destinations to compare with. I believe that this Resort can become a
5 star destination. Service is already now mostly very good. From the finnish point of view, one could detect some small cultural differences, such as what means "now". In Zanzibar it seems to be a relative concept, but issues were dealt with. One area to be developed is the cuisine, but it was nice to notice that all feedback was well received and things were rectified immediately. Even the sizzlers were given another grade of spiciness, milder, as an option, so that the flavours were coming out better and we were not sweating anymore as much from our foreheads, necks and face...
The best that the resort can offer is service. Jaana with her staff really fulfilled all the customers' needs. Guided tours, connecting flights and so forth were handled professionally. We also had a pleasant surprise, it's possible to book a private boat trip to the nearby sand bank island in the middle of the Indian Ocean, where it was lovely to snorkel and swim. It was also positive to notice the cheap flights from and to Dar, Nairobi and Mombasa. Many thanks for the excellent experience Jaana and staff!
