Property was beautiful. Staff fabulous. Great welcome from the host Sharon. The lodge rooms are in the middle of nature - enjoy the monkeys, bush baby and Aardvarks!! Beach walks at low tide are a must as well as swimming at high tide. Happy hour is great if you’re travelling alone - it was all superb! Thank you

6/10 Good

PROS: The hotel is on beautiful grounds with a lovely pool and attended by friendly staff. CONS: The food is really very bad, the bedding and pillows should be burnt, and they use an incredibly unsafe and outdated credit card system. OVERALL: There are so many cool and interesting places to stay on Zanzibar. I'd opt for somewhere else.

Very quite and tranquil beach
The beach was full of shells that I've never seen before, in such a huge amount, it was so beautiful. The ocean is not so great to swim in, you need to wear shoes and a lot of seaweed is there, but the beach is just amazing, it's so quiet and tranquil, just to fully relax. The baobab tree has this platform with the awesome view, it's so quiet and beautiful. The whole hotel complex is a unique beautiful garden with monkeys, it's amazing. Our bungalow was great, it had an outdoor shower which was so cool! It also had a bathtub indoor. The bed was very big and very very comfortable. When you open the door and go back to bed and just enjoy the view you feel like in heaven! You could also go on top of the bungalow and hang out and enjoy the view. The sun loungers were very comfortable as well. Lisa was very friendly and helpful there! The food, in particular the dinner was super super delicious! Was a great place to stay!

Nice reclusive resort on the beach
we had a nice room right by the beach. however we came during the low season, and the bed sheet was covered by small bugs and mosquitos after having been changed for a long time. understandably, we were the only guests at the time. we had really good service at the resort and enjoyed a nice quiet day on the beach.

Beautiful location, wonderful friendly service
A wonderful place to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle. The cottages are set up like in old-style Safari pictures, with four-poster beds draped with mosquito nets, fans, and thoughtful touches like candles in case of power outages, and a laundry basket should you need it. Staff was friendly and helpful, really personable. I was there during end of summer low season, so it was almost like having the place to oneself. Lovely pool and beach access on multiple sides, and dinner can be had on the beach at night - what a great way to experience nature in all of its soothing loveliness. I honestly can't say enough, because there was a surprise around every corner - a family of small monkeys near my cottage, birds of every kind, butterflies everywhere, crabs carrying their homes down the path, salamanders, fish, and bush babies. Thank you for a great stay. I hope to be back one day.

Abgeschiedenes Paradies
Wie viele Unterkünfte auf Sansibar, ist auch diese Anlage von einer Mauer eingegrenzt, was jedoch nicht auffällt, da der riesige grüne Garten dies verdeckt. Diese weitreichende Anlage ist auch das Zuhause verschiedener Affen und anderer Tiere, die völlig unaufdringlich sind, aber das Gefühl von Dschungel vermitteln. Wir hatten eines der Häuser in vorderster Reihe und konnten vom Bett aufs nur 10m entfernte Meer blicken. Die wenigen Häuser stehen in zwei Reihen - Meerblick und Gartenblick - und "beherbergen" immer zwei Zimmer. Da die Häuser in etwas Entfernung stehen, vermitteln sie das Gefühl von Abgeschiedenheit. Andere Gäste sind also etwas entfernt. In der Umgebung gibt es nicht viel zu entdecken ("nur" Safari Blue); aber wer Ruhe sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Das Personal war sehr freundlich, insbesondere die Bedienungen im Restaurant. Das Essen war gut; inkl. Candle Light Dinner am Meer. Wir waren in der "Nebensaison", sodass maximal 10 Gäste in der Anlage waren - super zum Entspannen. Wir haben danach noch einige andere Hotels auf Sansibar gesehen bzw. bewohnt, und wünschten uns so manchen Abend zurück! War ein toller Aufenthalt!

Ruhiges Refugium mit starker Essens-Einschränkung
+Das Hotel war während unseres Aufenthalts um die Weihnachtszeit absolut ruhig. +Viele Sitzgelegenheiten ermöglichen ungestörte Entspannung. +Die Anlage wird äußerst gut gepflegt. +Das Personal fragt eher einmal zu viel nach den Wünschen der Gäste, als zu selten. +Die Tauchlehrerin Mag ist kompetent und vertrauenswürdig, die Tauchschule verfügt über gutes Equipment, nur manche Neoprenanzüge haben Löcher (das ist meiner Erfahrung nach aber normal). +Das Essen schmeckt gut mit wenigen Ausnahmen. -Beim Essen ist man sehr eingeschränkt, abends gibt es nur ein Menü und das ist teuer (30 USD), keine Alternativen à la Carte. Es gibt eine Mittagskarte, aber auch die wird ab und zu durch sehr teures Buffet (20 USD) ersetzt. Wir sind manchmal nach Stone Town gefahren und haben in den Forodhani Gärten Essen gekauft. Samosas lassen sich prima einpacken (10000 TZS für 10 Stk.). -Gerade das Weihnachtsessen war nicht gut, das Lamm war sehr zäh und auch die anderen Gänge fanden wir nicht überzeugend. Blöd war aber auch, dass man uns nicht gesagt hat, dass das Essen teurer ist als sonst (40 USD). -Der Zugang zum Ozean ist zwar schön, aber zum Schnorcheln ungeeignet. Es geht seicht abwärts und die Gezeiten sorgen für trübes Wasser, Fische sind Fehlanzeige. Dazu muss man dann Schnorchel- oder Tauchausflüge nutzen. Allerdings kostet das Leihen von Schnorchelausrüstung 8 USD, was ich für übertrieben halte. Auch die Tauchpreise sind im Vergleich sehr hoch (235 USD für 4 Tauchgänge).

Idyll på Zanzibar
Idyllisk og fredelig beach lodge sør i Zanzibar. Romslige bungalows med sittegruppe utenfor. Veldig hyggelig og behjelpelig personale! Man blir plassert forskjellige steder til middag hver kveld, fint å få spise på stranda til bølgeskvulp og talgelys. Maten var også veldig god. Utmerket valg for alle som ønsker avslappende dager i vakre omgivelser.
