“Lovely stay in jambiani”
Really nice hotel in a nice little spot at the end of the beach, not far to walk at low tide to other restaurants/hotels etc but far enough away to be peaceful. Beach is beautiful, all staff are so nice and friendly and the food is good. Room was always cleaned to an exceptional standard and the housekeeping lady was so lovely and friendly, I enjoyed our chats at night when she came to spray the room and put the mosquito net down! Special mention goes to the two dogs who are a delight to have around when you’re sunbathing!

“Nice, relaxing hotel / hostel on the beach”
Quiet and relaxing area, lots of common spaces to hang out and an infinity pool with a few loungers. There is a bar and food, and on some nights there is entertainment (I didn't catch it as I wasn't there in peak season, it's probably much more lively then). The hosts were helpful and responsive.

“A place to experience the windward side of the island, but be careful which room you get”
We appreciated the experience of being on the beach on the windward side of the island. It was an experience to be able to walk far out on the tidal flat at low tide.

“Amazing”
An amazing place to stay for a relaxing weekends. The rooms are simple, but in a good way. The owner and the staff went above and beyond to welcome our group of friends, take care of everything for us, including the booking of trips, and just went above and beyond. The breakfast, but also all othre food at the restaurant is delicious. They also have two lovely dogs who are very well behaved. I cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you for making our stay memorable.

“Christmas adventure”
The location is fantastic, excellent staff and service with a good selection of meals, snacks and drinks. The rooms are large, clean and comfortable with cleaning twice per day (which is helpful with a 12 year old who spends all day on the sand/in the sea). A wide range of activities can be arranged by the lodge we really enjoyed snorkeling! Great place we will return!

“SUPERB. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMENDED.”
It's difficult to highlight just one thing. But summarizing everything - from the first welcome at the reception to the check out, we were overwhelmed by the hospitality and the hotel experience in general. I never received such warm welcome greeting as at Red Monkey and each day we felt welcomed and treated as family. THIS IS THE HOTEL everyone would like to stay at to enjoy both "personal touch" and pure professional service. I'd fully recommend Red Monkey for everyone traveling to Jambiani. Just go there and stay there. You will feel like home. We were sad to leave.. In one word - SUPERB. Eleven out of ten points.
