“Wonderful vacation at a luxurious villa”
Beautiful and colorful villa. Delicious food. Good portion sizes. Tasty and interesting fruit smoothies. Many rooms in the house. A beautiful pool with warm water. A wonderful terrace. Snow-white bed linen. The villa’s manager and staff are attentive to guests’ needs and very friendly. The island’s nature is very beautiful and vibrant. The ocean is warm and clear. The sand is perfectly white. Water shoes are necessary, as there are many sea urchins on the ocean floor.

The facilities are great. Pool with umbrellas and sunbed, shower, comfortable sofa chair near pool, so You can relax 100% On the beach- I can say ocean view- is a nice bar where delicious drinks&snacks are served. On the beach there are large sunbeds and umbrellas and a nice ocean breeze sparkling with beautiful colors. At night, the beach is climatically illuminated. It was our honeymoon and we chose the perfect place for it. The owner of the property-Monika, upgraded our room from Delux to Superior as a honeymoon gift - the apartment was beautifully decorated and a bottle of champagne was waiting for us as well. They organize for us an amazing honemoon dinner on the beach- we were very impresse. We like this residence, so much that we plan to rent the entire residence with a group of 10 friends for the next holiday. We would like to thank the Cast Away team for putting their hearts into every detail of our stay- everything was perfect. See You soon.

“Amazing stay and great service”
Everything! The management and staff were amazing throughout our stay. Nothing was too much for them to assist with. Monika and Ahmad were so kind and accommodating, our room was upgraded with a lovely view. The food was delicious, properly spiced and we had lots of variety to choose from. The room was immaculately clean and the housekeepers were on top of it all the time. Can’t fault this place and will highly recommend.

The location is really nice. Even though the hotel itself is not really at the beach ( they have a beach bar and the hotel is like 100 m further), that beach is the best one we've seen in Zanzibar. The rooms were clean and food was decent. The ac was working fine and water in the shower was hot. Internet was good.

“Great place to relax, amazing staff, beach bar right on the beach!”
Fantastic place, friendly and helpfull staff, nice local interiors, good food. Beach, pool and bar within 15m distance. Highly reccomended, especially when travelling in groups - large familly, friends. We booked a room with a breakfest and dinner option, for lunch and drinks we eat at the beach restaurants - IMO best option.
