    We really enjoyed the delicious buffet. Overall, the food and service were outstanding. We especially appreciated Efrazia who with her kindness and big smile brightened the day. Everyone in general was gracious. Even making a cake and singing for my birthday. Delightful.

    Shame that the 2nd restaurant wasn't included within the all inclusive package

    Super friendly staff, comfortable rooms with amazing ocean views. Food quality was excellent at the restaurant, good variety too. Safe environment and well placed to explore other parts of Nungwi Beach.

    One downside was the evenings. Music only three times a week. If there was music, it was all over by 9:30 PM. There wasn't much around the resort, so we had to go to bed early. Such a shame. We booked through Booking.com, and they advertised live music. And evening entertainment. Unfortunately, we didn't see any of that.

    Wonderful stay. Very friendly staff. Beautiful location. Clean room.

    We paid for a sea view room but the room we got could be described as a partial sea view at best which I was really disappointed about. We did get moved the next day to a room with a better (elevated) sea view. Be aware some ‘sea view’ rooms are ground level and are set back from the sea. Not the hotels fault but every time you leave the boundary of the resort you are hassled non stop by people selling things - can’t take a walk along the beach without being followed and constantly ‘sold’ to. The hotel have security on the beach to stop this within the resort ( thank goodness) but it is Very off putting when you are out and about and unfortunately means I am unlikely to visit Zanzibar again.

    Lovely facilities, staff were really excellent. Cocktails and food are excellent. We were all inclusive which I would highly recommend.

    There is not much to do around the resort, especially at night. At the resort there was some live music on 2 of the 7 nights (weekend) we stayes there and it quit at 21.00-21.30 (which is quite early in our opinion). Not much of a party. Only one bar open after 7 pm. We found the staff at the swim up bar more friendly and more fun than the staff at the beach bar.

    The resort is beautiful and luxurious. The staff is very attentive and helpful. We had a great time at the swim up bar by the pool. Shout out to bartender Raphael for taking good care of us! Also the location with the private beach was very nice. Beautiful sunset views guaranteed!

    I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this resort! Everything exceeded my expectations – the hotel is beautiful, with excellent facilities that offer both comfort and relaxation. The à la carte restaurant was a delightful surprise – delicious food, beautifully presented and impeccably served. A big highlight was Miss Elif, the manager – such a warm and professional presence. We had a lovely conversation, and thanks to her, I got a dream room with a stunning sea view. It made a huge difference in my overall experience! I wholeheartedly recommend this resort and will definitely return!

    There are a lot of people trying to sell tours, literally waiting in the stairs to the beach. This is not the hotel fault, but it is still annoying and the beach is not that private (they do have security people, but they can only do so much).

    The hotel is amazing, the pool, room and restaurant are very nice and the same as you see in the pictures. Every facility was clean. The food and drinks was really good, especially the cocktails.

    GREAT HOTEL BUT BAD WIFI
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Queen Room with Garden View
    • Stayed 4 nights

    The main issue is the unreliable Wi-Fi, which made it difficult for me to stay connected during my 5-day visit. For anyone who requires a stable internet connection, I would suggest looking elsewhere; personally, I wouldn't stay here again. This appears to be more of an infrastructure issue, as the tech guy came to my room at least three times, even at late hours, to fix it. Clearly, improving the Wi-Fi would make a big difference. This also indicates the hotel's awareness of the problem, given previous reviews and their readiness to send a tech guy even at late hours.

    I would both recommend and not recommend this hotel, depending on individual needs. Wifi is the major problem (see below). That said, I was very pleased with the rooms, service, management, food, and drinks. For guests who don’t require dependable internet access, I would definitely recommend the hotel.

    Fantastic location, service quality needs to be better

    It seems that the management is going through some sort of transitions. Hence, various cracks surfaced in service quality. In one of the days Internet in the room went off and it took 4 hours to get it fixed, however, the main problem was lack of clear response from the front desk. The transmission quality of television channels in the room was awe fully bad. The waiting time for any meal at the restaurant was long and the bar was not well stocked..

    The location is amazing. The facility was clean and comfortable.The food quality at the restuarant was good, however, the waiting time was too long. Not sure if hunger made it taste better or not.

    The furniture is old, and here and there damaged. It has wooden floor and with everything else from wood keeps the moist very high and it gets a weird smell. The breakfast is not too great for a 4 star hotel, especially that you have to pay for any drinks that you want besides water (e.g. coffee). Dinners are better but not great either, however sometimes they have good food. The mattress is terrible, woke up with back pain every morning. A bit disappointing for a Marriott chain hotel...

    The location is nice, front beach hotel enjoying the beautiful turquoise water views.
