True feelings+ Exceptionally wonderful and relaxing holiday!
Clean; welcome was best out of many hotels we've stayed in!!!!😁🤩💯👏
Staff were 'onpoint' with a seamless and warm service. Treating guests more like special family members.🫶
The guest representative couldn't be...− Time was too short; could have stayed another week!😉 Need an onsite ATM though 🏧💷

Lovely hotel, but not given the room type we booked and paid for, and not honest about the reason.+ Large rooms, comfortable beds, good food. Quiet location yet only 10-15 minutes from Stone Town. Lovely pool area and great restaurants.− We were told the hotel was completely full and they could only give us a room on the 1st floor (we had requested top floor). Then we discovered that the room they gave us was an Executive and not...

+ Staff was extremely polite and helpful upon arrival...and we were upgrade to a larger suite to fit our family. We had a very early flight the next morning, which there were no issues using the provided shuttle. They even packed breakfast to go for us...− While the lobby and grounds are beautiful and manicured, the room itself is a bit dated. As we were only staying one night, it wasn't a huge deal. However, I would say the size of the presidential...

Superb hotel+ Beautiful hotel with beautiful beach. Room was lovely and bed was super comfortable− Not many sunbeds for such a big hotel. Nothing nearby so if you want to shop or eat out you need to get a cab. We were there for two days at the end of a busy holiday so that suited us perfectly.

Excellent stay by the beach+ This is a perfect location if you are looking for luxury stay. Mind blowing views of the ocean, surreal sunset evenings make this a must place to stay. The staff is very friendly, chefs go out of their way to make something you like. Pool is just amazing...− Can’t think of anything
