My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon after a week’s safari across Tanzania. From the minute we stepped foot on the island we felt at home and completely relaxed and it was everything we wanted after a week of moving from camp to camp. Everything here was perfect from the food, walks on the beach, snorkelling, fishing the people and a to top it all a candle lit dinner for 2 under the stars on what felt like our beach!!!

Amazing place and still when we look at the pictures now they bring a smile to our face.

my wife and I spent 7 days here in january in a superior suite. It is indeed a fantastic resort, not the european 5* standard but made up for by the situation. All rooms and suites are basically a safari tent with over-arching thatch roof. Ours was well equipped plus mini bar, tea/coffee, mosquito net, coils and spray; 2 way radio for room service, hair dryer, ceiling fans, bath robes, umbrellas, torch, UK three pin sockets etc etc. Not all rooms are as well equipped. No TV, radio, phone or wifi but internet PC in the shop. We felt the extra for the superior suite was well worth as we had a plunge pool (with kingfishers)and direct access to the beach. Also large decking area and day rooms with an upstairs seating area in the jungle canopy with monkeys coming and going.

After our safari we spent 6 nights at this small and personal resort. It was pure relaxation!

The atmosphere is very laid back. The charming, attentive and friendly staff go out of their way to please, nothing is too much trouble. It’s once more about people who make all the difference: Hannes, William, Liz and the whole team make the place what it is.

The food was excellent (and we are not that easy to please). We enjoyed excellent three course dinners every night, a Swahili night and a phantastic BBQ on the beach. On our last evening we had an exquisite private dinner on the beach, which was a very nice touch! Lunch we ate at the restaurant by the infinity pool where we spent most days. A snorkelling trip to Misali island and a sunset cruise were also great fun.

We had a standard room which is a tent. The accommodation is comfortable but not luxurious.

It was our second stay and we would definitely go back a third time!

Our jaws dropped upon being shown our "room": an overly spacious room housing a king-size bed, fridge, living area, and marble-tiled bathroom with double shower, and outside a deck with plunge pool, a covered lounge area, an upstairs deck with sofas, and a private section of beach! I felt embarrassingly like the "rich and famous".

The property also has a 2-tier pool with bar, a TV/games room with pool table, a large dining room visited by black-faced monkeys, plenty of lounge and bar area, and a professionally run PADI dive shop. Food was first-rate, staff were friendly and went out of their way to be helpful with our requests for earlier mealtimes and always had vegetarian options.

The snorkeling around the resort is so-so: we saw 3 lionfish, puffer fish, baracuda, but there's not much coral to speak of. However, on a picnic day-out to Misali island, we snorkeled from the beach and the coral is jaw-dropping: sea fans, staghorns, soft coral, purple tube coral,... TONS of colourful, varied coral like I haven't seen in years. Our second day out to the island we snorkeled from the dive boat and saw huge schools of little fish, as well as a turtle and sand ray. There are no large fish to speak of. Misali Island is a protected marine park, but just beyond its limits, the locals are seen out fishing every day. However, it's worth just to see all that pristine coral.

Beautiful stay to a fabulous Africa vacation.
