    Liked the place, it was relaxing and worked for me. The location of the hotel was secluded, so close to a lush garden setting, and Matemwe, Nungwi. Also, the distance to Kiwengwa Beach was only 1 km. Had a superb stay here.

    We had a great time staying at a peaceful and relaxing hotel in Zanzibar. The location was ideal for our snorkeling trip to Matemwe and Nungwi, and we loved the nearby beach with its tidal changes. The room was comfortable and clean, with a spacious bathroom and breathtaking views. The service was exceptional, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We enjoyed a delicious and filling breakfast every morning, and even had the chance to play the traditional game of Bao.

    We were slightly disappointed by the slow service at the restaurant.

    I had an incredible stay at this hotel! The location on a cliff provided me with an amazing view of the colorful ocean changing with tides. The rooms were comfortable, and I loved waking up to the breathtaking views and relaxing in the garden with many sun beds available. The staff were welcoming and helpful, and the breakfast served was delicious.

    No improvement needed, everything was fantastic!

Secondly, the staff were exceptional and always went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Thirdly, the rooms were beautifully designed in a traditional African style, and the gardens were lush and peaceful. Lastly, the breakfast spread was delicious and provided the perfect start to our day.
