Staff at the reception and at the restaurant are great, kind, and always helpful. I got stranded in zanzibar, and the guys at the reception made me feel so protected and cuddled. They helped me a lot and always with a big smile. Thanks to Monica, Mercy, Ismail, and the other guys, I unfortunately don't know the names. Thanks to Michela at the bitch club and Barbara at the lodge, you both welcomed me so well and made me feel not alone. Food was a big surprise too, delicious and almost every day different options to try.

Lovely stay

The staff and owners are extremely kind and make you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. The rooms are clean, spacious, and completely bug-free. A shuttle runs every 15 minutes to and from the beach, which is very convenient. We loved the beach club, with plenty of sunbeds, great facilities, and a relaxing atmosphere. The hotel restaurant also offers live entertainment every evening, which adds a fun and lively touch to your stay. Overall, a wonderful place to stay and highly recommended.

Good place for a stay in Nungwi at reasonable price with better facilities and good food

Room was comfortable enough for the stay. No TV in the room that I selected but the rest of the basics were available. The restaurant which is a part of the hotel located outside, was fabulous. Delicious food, friendly staff, cozy atmosphere and everything was good. Walking distance to the beach which was gorgeous and perfect for a dip and a walk. The hotel provides a free shuttle service to their private beach area which is about 5mins drive from the place. Recommended for anyone planning a stay in Nungwi. Most importantly, their breakfast was one of my favs. Pancakes is a must try ❤ and from lunch menu Poke bowl was amazing.

Would recommend to anyone, great location and facilities, would definitely return.

Great location, there are so many amazing restaurants just a 5 minute walk away and the hotel has it's own restaurant and bar with live performances on Friday and Saturday. The beach club was just a short free shuttle away that was organised for us whenever we wanted it. The beach club itself offered a great menu and cocktails with an amazing location and view. Also the staff were exceptional and helpful.

Incredible stay with incredible facilities and staff!

The property was honestly wonderful! We had an amazing time and only wished we had booked to stay much longer. We loved the beach club and facilities there and the lodge is very clean and comfortable. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. I am coeliac and they catered for me with gluten free pasta at dinner, gluten free crepes at breakfast as well as lots of naturally gluten free options at the buffet. It was all delicious and if you are gluten free I recommend staying here, they are incredibly helpful.
