I stayed at this hotel during a quick tour, and while it had some merits like clean rooms and beautiful ocean views, some aspects were disappointing. The location is not very safe for walking around, and the dining options left much to be desired. Overall, it's a decent place if you just need somewhere to stay before heading out, but it's not ideal for a longer visit.

I recently stayed at this hotel during my travels in Zanzibar, and while I enjoyed the stunning ocean views and clean rooms, there were several downsides that impacted my experience. The location is quite remote, making it tricky to access nearby attractions, and the dining options were less than ideal. Overall, it has its charms but could use significant improvements in several areas.

I stayed at this hotel for one night during a quick tour of Zanzibar. The rooms were generally clean and comfortable, but the path to the rooms was quite long and dark, which made navigating to dinner somewhat tricky. The views from the restaurant were lovely, and the staff were pleasant enough. However, I had a disappointing experience with the food, and the overall comfort could be improved.

I spent one night at this hotel during my tour and while it had its highlights, there were several areas that need improvement. The rooms were clean but basic, and the location felt a bit uninviting. The views from the restaurant were lovely, but the dining options left much to be desired. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway and don’t mind some discomfort, it might work for you, but I would suggest considering other options in the area.

I stayed here for just one night as part of a tour in Zanzibar, and while the views from the restaurant were absolutely lovely, there were several drawbacks to my experience. The rooms were clean but somewhat outdated, and the food didn't impress me at all. The location felt a bit unsafe to venture out, although the hotel made transportation easy. Overall, it's a decent place if you're just passing through, but I wouldn't recommend it for a longer stay.
