“Go to the diving centre if you want local advice or want to try the diving.”
Short comment from 3 norwegian dudes on our stay here: Nice staff, very good cleaning after breakfast each day (~20-30 minutes). Breakfast was good value for the money. Pool was clean and chill, and we used the diving centre on out last day. My 2 buddies were certified Open Water divers, and I wanted to test it for the first time but was very afraid. I got to borrow snorkling equipment, got good training with scuba equipment in the pool and my instructor Thomas (PADI dive master) was excellent. I went from not being comfortable in pool to double dive ar 10-12 meters on Mnemba island. Lifetime experience. The diving centre had good prices and the trip was good value overall.

“Amazing location very close to the beach. Simple rooms.”
We stayed in one of the simple but convenient Villas. We liked the breakfast and the pool. The location is really close to the best beach. The room was cleaned daily. The staff was friendly and accomodating. We stayed two weeks in the end and had a great time.

Perfect place, 2 minutes walk from the sea, the best beach in Zanzibar, clean without many people, clean as a pharmacy, a closed hotel with a guard, kind and smiling staff. If you don't like big hotels with many people, this is the perfect place for you.
