“Very relaxing high end feel”
This feels like a slice of luxury in a very nice quiet part of Zanzibar. The breakfast is phenomenal, the pool is well looked after and has different levels to sit and relax on. There is gym facility and a nice gift shop on site. The room itself had a spacious balcony and was very comfortable and felt high end - great value for money especially to have some kitchen facilities. The staff were also excellent and after checking out of our room we stayed on site and enjoyed the pool

We absolutely loved this resort! So clean and beautiful, both the accommodation and the pool area. Very quiet and peaceful as well. Great restourant, even a small room for fitness. It is super close to the sea (the uphill everyone mentioned in their comments is really small and not that bad), the beach bar you can chill if you are a Lapili guest is super beautiful. Staff is incredibly nice and did everything to make our stay wonderful. And after exploring the whole island, that part of Zanzibar was definitely a good choice to stay because it was so peaceful and not that many people (tourists). If I could, I would rate it 20/10 🤗 special thanks to Manuela who was so lovely, even priror to our stay

We had a wonderful stay. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. Their warm attitude really made us feel at home. The location is also excellent just a 3-minute walk to the sea, and there are plenty of supermarkets and local shops around, which made everything very convenient. We truly appreciated the hospitality and would definitely recommend this place to others

“Amazing peaceful island with the most gorgeous staff is amazing”
The place is surrounded by trees creating a micro climate garden where the temperatures are not too hot. The view of the swimming pool and water falling is a constant sweet melody

“I highly recommend this hotel. The owners are wonderful people with great passion and hospitality.”
I really enjoyed my stay at the property. It was very clean, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. In the buffet, there was something new every day, and the Italian restaurant was amazing. There was also a pleasant Yoga bar with free sunbeds right by the ocean. I highly recommend it!
