"Pros: Very nice little resort on a serene faraway corner of the island. The food was great, the room was cozy with nice views and "Beachcomber Style" decor. And the best cocktails we had in Zanzibar! We booked half board which was a good deal, as their all-inclusive package is quite overpriced. Note that the place is really isolated, there is not much to do around, but I think that is the charm of it. Cons: The first day we had no water in the room, which they fixed when we complained. From then on we had brackish water coming from the tap, which was rather unpleasant. They offer free activities, like SUP, but it was so deflated it was impossible to use it. We also tried to do the free dhow cruise they offer but the lady at the reception told us we could only go on the day when we were leaving already. The beach is beautiful but not very ideal for swimming as during low-tide the water is miles away, but even during high-tide it is very shallow and there are lots of sea urchins. The check-out experience was very disappointing as she tried to make us pay for a bill that was not ours and "miscalculated" the final amount and almost overcharged us by 100,000TZS. After playing around on the calculator for 10 mins it was impossible to figure out how she came up with the final amount is USD, which was again higher than should have been, so we did leave with the feeling that they tried to rip us off. When paying by card they charge extra, which is a common practice on the island, however decent hotels don't do it." ~Brigitta

"Pros: We liked the freshness of the daily breakfast, the over all menu options for the dinner and the excellent customer service. The room was lovely and clean. Bed was a little hard for me but that is just personal preference. In particular the managers we met were all fantastic, very friendly, polite, informative and welcoming. Cons: For us as a family with a 6 year old there was limited things to do at the resort as it is very small and secluded and would perhaps suit a couple better than a family. Also the pool was very cold and not heated ( which seems to be the same all over Zanzibar) and so was not great for swimming ( unless your brave). The beach is not one of the best and the sea not great for swimming." ~David
