Poor
The taxi drivers, nice cool people
Not worth the money cause the resort/hotell doesnt have much to offer for the value. The staff was friendly but there was so many miscommunication and the all inclusive was not clear about what was included. You couldnt even use the beach cause the water was so far away during low tide. When it was high tide, we were afraid we were gonna hit the rock cliff. Dont accept free evening a la carte. It took us over an hour for just the appetizer. Then they changed a la carte for kids, they didnt get to choose from the same menu as us adults even tho we paid same price for our kids stay, as adults. Felt like we were robbed.
Even the pool are much smaller than what it was shown on the picture. Always bugs in the water.

Very Good
Nice location, good food especially in the morning and the staff was very nice. The room was comfortable and big. Something extra: we received one dinner at the a la carte restaurant which was lovely.
The location is ok but it gets very warm at the pool because it's situated between buildings. This place is more for families and people of certain age and the price is a bit high.

the location
no ocean views, old hotel repainted to look new but very old. Food is very average. definitely nit worth the money spent. it says also on booking.com that it is beech front, but in reality it is NOT on the beach, it is close to the beach. rooms overlooking the pools

Location is good - set back a little from the beach but with easy access. Rooms were basic and the main pool was enjoyable to sit around.
Dont opt for full board!
The food was appalling in the buffet; very little selection and most stations were empty. For breakfast, we were not warned about the birds stealing food from the table and the waiters were then rude towards us when this happened. We ate out of the hotel for all meals.
The rooms are very basic and there is little to no privacy from people walking as there are no curtain nets be the curtains were practically see through.
Staff werent really helpful and lacked effective customer service.

We love Zanzibar and have been many times but this was a new location. It was steps from the beach, it had a variety of pools to choose from, the staff were super helpful and attentive. On the day we left, our flight was late in the day. We checked out of the room and not only could we store our bags upfront, but they had a room where we could shower and change clothes before heading to the airport, all at no additional charge. Talk about service!!
My only complaint was I was hoping for more of the traditional Tanzanian foods at breakfast. What they had was great but some chapati and mandazi would have been even better.

We were very pleasantly surprised, and we got a lot for our money.
Perhaps the beach area for the hotel could have been signposted better'.

Poor
I can't point out anything I liked about the hotel
1) Food, no variety in the buffet. Left with very few options. Both dinner and breakfast. 2) payment. We had to do 3 transactions due to hidden charges. We paid via card, this was charged at 5%, there were other taxes that had not been disclosed. 4$ per night. 3) location. The hotel environment is very dirty and alot of noise during the night. Music comes from the neighbourhood. 4) beach, its full of idle locals and traders. Making it very uncomfortable 5) staff. We met very discriminative staff. They gave priority and preference to the white guests.

Its basic but comfortable
Its basic and expensive considering the environment. All the island is pretty poor and outside the hotel the condition is pretty bad

The room was nice. The location is great and the staff are friendly.
The breakfast and dinner for half board does not give value for money. We paid $150 per person but the serving and the choices were so limited.

The hotel is good. The food buffet was good quality
Food buffet had limited choice.
The hotel beach is small and does not have sunbeds for all the guests.
The road to go to the beach is dirty and full of rubbish; wven if this is not hotel responsibility it would make sense for them to clean it.
We traveled with 2 kids aged 6 and 8 and the hotel is not offering any entertainment for them. One of the staff members was not polite and kids friendly at all, the children were playing with the water tap in the beach area( cleaning some shells from the sand actually) and this guy called Egon approached them in an aggressive way asking to leave immediately and notplay anymore..
Also during dinner time there some tiny lights on each table and the kids changed the color from white to blue, the same guy tokd them to stop because every table should have the same light colors, zero flexibility!!
The hotel is good but the price is for a 5 star which it isn't. So it is overvalued.
Thank you for your information!
