We loved everything about the hotel. Our room - a junior suite with a beach view and balcony - was gorgeous and very large. There was a view of the ocean from every room, including the shower, and the room was very clean and comfortable in every way. The restaurant is also excellent as is the bar (better cocktails than most places in East Africa). Our favorite dish was the ceviche, but everything was great. The pools, lobby, lounging areas were all beautiful as well. Also appreciated the friendly and helpful staff, who arranged activities including a snorkeling and dolphin trip to Mmemba atoll. The hotel also offers excellent massages onsite and a free yoga class twice a week. We just loved everything about this hotel and would happily return here. ##### Julia Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ailsa Jun 28, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities No hot water ##### Ailsa Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nobuyuki Jan 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely and cozy place Stunning. Beautiful location and attentive staff. Highly recommended. 素晴らしい滞在でした。スタッフがとても親切で、あらゆることに迅速かつ個別に対応してくれました。目の前に白浜のビーチがあり、いるかと泳げることで有名なムネンバ島はすぐそば。潮の流れを見て午前6時にヴィラの目の前から出発するプライベートツアーをアレンジしてくれ、混雑前にいるかと泳ぐ夢が叶いました。こじんまりしたヴィラですが、敷地内は花に溢れ、食事も美味しく、スパも心地良かったです。家族で滞在する欧米人が多く、アットホームで静かな雰囲気を堪能しました。 ##### Nobuyuki Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Finn Arne Jun 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nydelig sted med god mat Rolig og trivelig sted med veldig hyggelig personale. Vi hadde halvpensjon og var veldig fornøyd med både frokost og 3-retters middag. Leilighet med sjøutsikt var topp. Eneste å trekke for var at aircondition i vår leilighet var litt svak. ##### Finn Arne Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Ingrid May 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Hyggelig opphold, med trivelig personale. Juicen var utvannet, men ellers var maten god. Vanskelig å bade i havet, men nydelig strand. ##### Ingrid Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jorgen May 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Mycket fint bemötande på hela hotellet. Frukosten begränsad med liten variation. Stranden fantastisk. Nära att gå in till lokal bebyggelse. Perfekt start på våra tre veckor på Zanzibar då vi bodde på ytterligare tre ställen. Mycket nöjda ##### Jorgen Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ALINE Sep 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Très bel endroit.

Personale gentilissimo e sempre sorridente. Soggiorno da favola! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kerstin Oct 5, 2022 Liked: Staff & service Die Lage, der Strand und der Meerblick haben uns sehr gut gefallen. Das Personal war stets hilfsbereit und freundlich. Insgesamt ist das Hotel allerdings renovierungsbedürftig. Angefangen bei den dreckigen Auflagen auf Liegen und Stühlen. Diversen wackeligen und unsicheren Klappstühlen, in die Jahre gekommene Ausstattung der Zimmer. Der Waschtisch in unserem Bad leckte die ersten drei Tage, so dass ständig der Boden nass war. Das WC war ebenfalls locker. Das Frühstück war sehr eintönig. Ei in vier Varianten mit Bohnen, Würstchen, Tomate oder Bakon, Pancakes, French Toast mit Banane Honig, und Joghurt. Jeden Tag nur Toast, das in der zweiten Woche nach Geschirrspüler schmeckte und süße Teilchen...wer's mag sowie ein Obstteller ohne Abwechslung. Keine Marmeladen, Wurst oder Käse. Keine Cornflakes oder Müslis. Der Restaurantküche fehlt es in diversen Teilen an Professionalität, da die Qualität der Gerichte je nach Tageslaune von gut bis noch ok war. Die Wartezeiten am Mittag waren, trotz wenig Betrieb, extrem lange bis zu 45 Min. Das Hotel verdient höchstens 3 Sterne. ##### Kerstin Stayed 14 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stéphan Jan 10, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Superbe Personnel très sympathique, nourriture bonne et endroit idyllique sur une très belle plage éloignée du tourisme de masse ##### Stéphan Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Royal-Zanzibar-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h5563953.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunrise Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Dar-Es-Salaam-Hotels-Sunrise-Beach-Resort.h16382901.Hotel-Information) > > [EST Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-EST-Hotel.h26593486.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandals Ochi - ALL INCLUSIVE Couples Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Sandals-Ochi-ALL-INCLUSIVE-Couples-Only.h604152.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d178315-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Residence Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Kizimkazi-Hotels-The-Residence-Zanzibar.h4261204.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Melia-Zanzibar.h1407257.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Jambo.h75595198.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Midtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Midtown-New-York-Hotels.0-n6203489-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Kiwengwa-Hotels-TUI-Blue-Bahari-Zanzibar.h4532516.Hotel-Information) > > [Z Hotel & Z2 Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-The-Z-Hotel.h3675918.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti](https://www.expedia.ca/Serengeti-National-Park-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Safari-Lodge-Serengeti.h2949601.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-Riu-Palace-Zanzibar-All-Inclusive.h5361523.Hotel-Information) > > [Africa Safari Selous](https://www.expedia.ca/Selous-Game-Reserve-Hotels-Africa-Safari-Selous.h8446485.Hotel-Information) > > [Konokono Beach Resort and Isaraya Over Water Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Michamvi-Hotels-Konokono-Beach-Resort.h3881687.Hotel-Information) > > [Brubru Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Moshi-Hotels-Altezza-Lodge.h19686862.Hotel-Information) > > [Gran Melia Arusha](https://www.expedia.ca/Arusha-Hotels-Gran-Melia-Arusha.h34865479.Hotel-Information) > > [Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ngorongoro-Conservation-Area-Hotels-Ngorongoro-Serena-Safari-Lodge.h903728.Hotel-Information) > > [Turaco Nungwi Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nungwi-Hotels-DoubleTree-Resort-By-Hilton-Zanzibar-Nungwi.h3300267.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Cranbrook](https://www.expedia.ca/Cranbrook-Hotels.d6058315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Le Mersenne Zanzibar, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Michamvi-Hotels-Le-Mersenne-Beach.h65725614.Hotel-Information) > > [Bluebay Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Bluebay-Beach-Resort-And-Spa.h1867044.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Thunder Bay (YQT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yqt/toronto-to-thunder-bay) > > [Flights from Kingston (KIN) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/kin/yyz/kingston-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yeg/toronto-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Lagos (LOS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/los/calgary-to-lagos) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Abbotsford (YXX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yxx/vancouver-to-abbotsford) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/lax/vancouver-to-los-angeles) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Calgary.d178245.Car-Rental-Guide)
