Each member of the staff are welcome you with all of their hearts, are there for you when you need something. They care, they always have some nice words. The hotel's cat, Caccola is lovely and she is also part of the staff :) As a repeater, I can say that the hotel is worth the money you pay - you can get upgrade if you can only book B&B to half board, or even to all inclusive - you have several possibilities. The dining area is one of my favourite places of the hotel, since it is next to the beach, during breakfast time you can enjoy the view. The breakfast offers you several options, there are sweet, as well freshly baked meals you can order. The menu for the lunch and even for the dinner is a great idea - you can choose what you prefer to eat. You can even combine the dishes of the dinner menu, which is always varied and offers different type of food. Some nights the hotel offers special programs, like suaheli dinner - which was absolutely a must try and a great experience, or live music. Vanilla is fantastic! The hotel is situated on the marvelous beach of Matemwe which offers you a calm and relaxing beach holiday. If you like long beach walks, enjoy the sun and take some beautiful pictures, this is the place you need to stay. The village is close to everything by car. Makuti Tours which has a desk at the hotel reception, offers you great tours to get around the island.

Perfect location, super friendly staff. Attentive but not overbearing- a true hidden gem! Food was to an extremely high end european restaurant standard. A tranquil secluded setting, a relaxed and informal oasis. Perfect for the discerning traveller or couple looking to relax. Quite calm with style is the vibe. Grounds and cleaniness immaculate.

My wife and I loved the proximity to the pristine white-sand beach. The staff from the manager to the pool caretaker was remarkably professional and friendly. They attended to our needs and provided with an exceptional service.

We did not like the spa, the employee was not as meticulous as the rest of the team that took care of us in the hotel. I would say she is the only weak point of the hotel.

It was not the first time in Zanzibar and in this lovely hotel, and it always turns out to be the best choice from many perspectives. I should stay in another hotel for a couple of days (Sunbay was fully booked, which I can totally understand :)), but after 2 days they called me that if I prefer to go back, there is a room for me. I absolutely agreed to come back, it was also a nice experience. Thank you!

Location is perfect ! Staff are lovely and friendly , good location for seeing the island

Mattress bit hard but ok

Th property was absolutely amazing. From the moment the arrived Marco and staff greeted us with huge smiles and really enthusiastic energies and though we were old friends. The location, the pool and the beach were heaven. The bicycles were great to go for little cycles.

The mattresses were a little too firm. Not an issue for me at all, but just a minor downside.

A nice little hotel on a quiet pristine beach. It was clean, comfortable, with nice pool and beach area. A wonderful team running the hotel, from the front desk, to restaurant, cleaning crew to manager everyone went out of their way to help and make you feel welcome. Would stay here again.

the food at a restaurant could use improvement

The place of the hotel, the rooms, the garden and the beach were all fantastic. We had all inclusive accomodation, the staff also took care of allergies. They organize tours that are exciting, for good price. There is a shop where you can buy souvenirs. We loved each moment of our stay. Thank you!
