We stayed here at the end of 21 days of safari and then a few days in Stone Town and it was the greatest two days of the trip. It's near the airport, so it's perfect to cap off a trip. The room was steps from a small private beach. It's not near anything but it was gorgeous and spotless and luxurious, which is exactly what we needed before the grueling trip home.

1st look its great but

Posted 4 Apr 2024 on Hotels

First impressions this place looked great but sadly not so. The room was shabby, the AC was either freezing or off. The shower a trickle. The bed was hard. The staff spoke next to no English, the restaurant staff none at all, waited an hour for a sandwich, breakfast was even worse. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere at the end of a dirt track, there is no chance to walk anywhere for food or a drink. The AC leaked water all over the tiled floor and the patio sliding door was falling apart. It didnt shut so no way to secure the room. There wasnt any patio furniture. The decked areas were lethal, the planks so distorted, uneven and boards barely sitting on joists. The waterside at the back is all stone apart from mangrove there is nothing and although its not the hotels fault with the tide out it stinks. The wifi was terrible to the point it wasnt worth bothering. We booked here to enjoy our last day before a tea time flight the next day, I couldnt wait to leave for the airport
