    beachfront bungalow
    beautiful views
    three pools
    bathroom refresh

    We were thrilled to get an upgrade to a beachfront bungalow, and the views were breathtaking. The three pools were perfect for relaxation, especially with the beach access and sun loungers nearby. Just a heads up, the bathroom could use a little refreshing, but it didn't ruin our wonderful stay! 😊

    stunning views
    friendly animation team
    limited dining options

    The beach bungalows were perfectly situated for stunning views, and our family had an amazing time exploring the nearby Stone Town, taking in its vibrant market life. The animation team was especially friendly, making our days filled with laughter and fun.

    In my wife’s opinion, the dining options should improve for families with children.

    friendly staff

    would absolutely stay here again

    Stunning beach with amazing views and three pools where drinks are super affordable. Our room was clean and had a private pool with cooling air conditioning. The staff were super friendly. special shoutout to Mary at the ice cream shop who made my daughter's day with daily donuts. The spa had awesome massage options too!

    stunning view
    spacious layout
    friendly staff
    pricey buffet
    limited dining variety

    The view from our Junior Suite Beachfront was stunning, with warm ocean breezes and a spacious layout that made it feel like a home away from home. The beach was just a few steps away, perfect for lazy days in the sun. The staff was incredibly friendly, especially Mary at the ice cream shop, who brightened our afternoons with delicious treats.

    The buffet was a bit pricey for the quality.

    overpriced buffet
    poor food

    The beach bungalows provided amazing views with direct access to the ocean. The food at the buffet didn't meet expectations. it felt overpriced for quality. Enjoyed the live music and entertainment staff who made our stay lively.

    great hospitality but small room issues

    The staff were really friendly and made me feel welcome throughout my stay. The hotel is super clean and well-maintained, showing attention to detail. I loved the garden view, which added tranquility to my mornings.

    However, the room felt smaller than expected.

    overpriced buffet

    The Indian dishes were a delightful surprise and a highlight of my culinary journey! The staff were also incredibly friendly, especially Mary at the ice cream shop—she made my daughter's day with her tasty treats. And let's not forget the beach bungalows, which were perfectly situated for stunning views!

    The buffet wasn't exactly bang for your buck at $35 a night!

    i really appreciated the stunning views from my junior suite and the incredibly friendly staff who were always ready to help, making my city strolls to nearby beaches and parks feel special and inviting during my two-night stay.

    ocean view
    evening shows
    cultural experience

    Stunning Beach, Uninspired Dining

    The ocean view from our suite was spectacular, perfect for morning coffee. Evening dance shows added a cultural touch. However, the dining experience fell flat, resembling bland cruise food. Tips for future guests, explore local eateries outside the resort for better meals, and don't miss the beach sunrise!
