The hotel is located on the best beach in all of Zanzibar, offering stunning views and a convenient location close to the beachside. The rooms are cozy and clean, but some might find the balcony in the bathroom rather than the bedroom a bit unconventional. The service is top-notch with attentive housekeeping and laundry services available. The dining experience is enjoyable, especially with live music to accompany your meal.
