Jambo!
Just wanted to share few thoughts on the stay in the hotel. We spent here a week, from the view, weather, food and drinks to most importantly amazing and super friendly personnel it was one of the best holiday ever! Everyone is going above and beyond to make sure you feel welcome. Our first time in Africa and for sure not the last one. Rooms are clean and AC working really well, there are some hiccups with WiFi but hey, during vacation it is not a big of a deal. Beach is really beautiful and if you do not want to be bothered by beach boys, there are guards to help you out, so you are safe at all times! Food and drinks are good but our favorite was for sure Zanzibar night with traditional dishes, simply delicious. Lots of entertainment if you are interested, from dance shows to aqua aerobics, etc. What really stood out for us was amazing friendliness from people working in the hotel, always with smile, genuinely helpful and extraordinary nice towards even difficult guests (some people should never leave their house as apparently they do not know how to behave in public☹️). We wanted to thank to everyone of you guys, big big Asante Sana to Joyce, Gredy, Edina, Kadija, Jabu, Ezra, Mbaraka, Luth, Zaawadi, chef Oscar, Rama and many more whose names I just don’t remember (sorry guys!) You made it really special 🫶🏻🌺highly recommended and we hope to be back soon😍

Great hotel with an amazing beach and amazingly friendly and professional staff. The positive vibes make it an even more relaxing experience.
Positive note for people with food allergies: even at the buffet the kitchen staff will help you out and make sure you can enjoy your vacation without worrying about potential food issues

Wonderful people, magical place. I had the pleasure of staying at the hotel in October.
I had a large group of almost 100 people with me. I was surprised by the amount of kindness, smiles and excellent service. Delicious cuisine, everyone will find something for themselves. The hotel is very clean, has a beautiful setting in a palm tree garden. The beach is well organized. I spent an extraordinary time there and met unique people. Thank you to the amazing manager Mr. Dass and his team: Ahlem, Saadia, Fatma, Mike, Abdul, Kumar and the rest for their wonderful hospitality.
Do you want to relax in paradise while feeling at home? The answer is simple - Bluebay! ♥

During our stay at this hotel, all the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and accomodating- nothing was too much trouble, and the staff went out of their way to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The food was varied and of a high standard, and in particular, we greatly enjoyed the local cuisine. The expansive space of the hotel provided a number of different places to relax with a magnificent view of the ocean. We would definitely recommend this hotel and would love to come back!
