Everything was absolutely perfect and just as described. The little boat trip to get to the island made us feel like a small getaway from our getaway. Everyone on the island was absolutely wonderful and the room itself was beautiful. We enjoyed our breakfast on the balcony and were accompanied by the cat who for hours in the morning. Unfortunately, he didn’t want to join us for the rest of our trip. the zebras were very friendly and curious and fun to watch during sunset. If you get a chance, make sure you grab dinner at the restaurant! Some of the best food we had on our trip.

The number one asset of Stanley Island are its inhabitants. Having your first morning coffee with zebras around you is more than special and we loved every minute of it. Also the staff were super friendly and went above and beyond to cater to our needs. When we were not happy with the room we were put in, they moved us to a different one the next day without any hesitation. The kitchen is very well equipped, coffee, tea, and milk are provided. The bathroom products they provide are also very nice. The „ferry system“ worked perfectly!
