I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful hotel, and I can't praise it enough! The quality of the accommodations is outstanding, providing a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. The pools are truly a highlight—immaculate and perfect for relaxation or fun.
The dining experience was exceptional, with an excellent and generous menu that catered to all tastes. Every meal was a delight, showcasing the culinary expertise of the kitchen staff.
What truly sets this hotel apart is the incredible service. The entire team, from the front desk to the housekeeping staff, was incredibly attentive and genuinely caring. The housekeepers were efficient and thorough, ensuring our room was always spotless and comfortable.
Overall, every member of the staff was friendly, trustworthy, and committed to making our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a fantastic getaway!

Amazing experience 💕! The attentiveness, warmth and service were beyond our expectations. The resort was beautiful, well maintained and our room very comfortable. Restaurants and meal options offered enough variety for our time there and food was great quality. I especially would like to leave a glowing review for Ally, Blue Guide Hospitality, for assisting us in coordinating last minute tours and excursions. He went over and above to make a plan for us that fit our schedule. I appreciate his honesty, responsiveness and effort. He genuinely cared that we have the best experience possible. All team members that we encountered were exceptional! I am looking forward to a return stay! Thank you for a great customer experience!

We were fortunate to be staying in the recently upgraded rooms - lovely spec and good room size. Bedroom and shower are open plan - so if you’re going with a parent like I did bear this in mind! We must’ve timed the trip right as there weren’t too many children, however walking around the complex there didn’t appear to be much for children to do.
Egg chair on balcony was a lovely treat - although likely to cause arguments as to who can sit on it! Sitting out at night, we were able to swing in the chair whilst spotting bush babies!
2 pools available, neither deep so great to float around in - we didn’t spend much time on the hotel beach but it looked lovely and had great views of the bright blue sea. Expect to be harassed when you reach the beach - security will sometimes usher them on and other times leave you to fend for yourself - most are respectful of a no thank you but it’s not a peaceful experience. We visited another beach for a sunset cruise, again lots of harassing and begging at points which put a downer on our excursion.
We ate in all restaurants, and begrudgingly paid for Breeze which was nice with speedy service. Despite all inclusive, not all drinks are free and you can guarantee your favourite drink will be an additional cost. Italian wasn’t anything special, and the Buffett as you would expect was very samey. The grill restaurant and Asian were lovely but would have liked to have seen the menu change to avoid boredom with the food. Drinks service can be slow so expect to wait 10-15 minutes for a drink by the pool.
Lots of helpful staff recommending excursions and how to find them cheaper (Celeste was great for this!) my advice would be to take more cash than you plan as excursions are cheaper (and taxi drivers are cash only). Would recommending booking your activities on the app asap - we missed out on a few as the spaces are limited such as on the reef walk which we were desperate to do.
In summary we had a fantastic break and were kept busy for the majority of the 10 days we stayed - looking forward to visiting Zanzibar again in the future.

We had a wonderful experience at this resort for our honeymoon. The entire team took perfect care of the guests, ensuring that our stay exceeded all expectations. A special thanks to Hawa, who organized our honeymoon dinner on the beach. She made everything truly magical

The hotel is truly beautiful, offering a calm and relaxing atmosphere perfect for a getaway. The food options are varied and delicious, accompanied by delightful entertainment that enhances the dining experience. The staff are incredibly friendly and amazing, always ready to assist with a smile. However, we encountered an issue when we wanted to enjoy the tide and walk around; the area was heavily populated by intrusive locals selling services and whatnot, which made us very uncomfortable and discouraged us from visiting that area again.
