Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was filled with ups and downs. The location was ideal, right in the heart of the resort with stunning surroundings, but some cleanliness issues and lack of dining flexibility left room for improvement. Overall, a mixed experience with moments of delight and disappointment.
Staying at this hotel was a true delight! The rooms were impeccably luxurious with beautiful views, well-maintained gardens, and a thoughtful Zanzibar decor. The attentive service added to the experience, making me feel pampered and well looked after. The location by the clear blue ocean was breathtaking, offering the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway. However, the dining options were somewhat limited, and improvement could be made in this area.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were clean and spacious with a great shower and a lovely patio area, and I highly recommend booking the suite with the sea view for an incredible experience. The service was top-notch, although there was a slight hiccup with unwashed cups and towels. The location was fantastic, perfect for watching the sunset, and the dining options, especially the made-to-order cooking stations, were impressive. The facilities were well-kept, and overall, it was a fantastic experience.
I felt like I had found a hidden paradise at this hotel. The rooms were beautiful and super clean, although one sunbed was broken. The service was incredibly nice and accommodating, particularly from the friendly restaurant staff. The location was perfect, with the main infinity pool facing the clear blue ocean and stunning gardens maintained by a dedicated team. The dining options were abundant and satisfying, ensuring I never went hungry. However, there were some missed opportunities that could have made it even better.
The hotel strives to satisfy guests with close proximity to the main restaurant, including a mini bar despite booking an upper-class room. The service was exceptional, personalized by standout staff members like Frederik at the Beach Bar and Herieth in the Oceans restaurant. The location is stunning, especially for sunsets, but bathroom lighting needs improvement. The dining experience offers great main-course dishes but may become repetitive over time. The hotel provides various facilities, ensuring a fantastic and relaxing vacation.
