“Beautiful hotel with wonderful.stsff”
The staff. Absolutely amazing people. Huge smiles and big hearts. Was a genuine pleasure to spend time with them. Manager Eric was really attentive and went out of his way to ensure we had a good time. His staff follow this high standards. Very personable and approachable manager! Massages were superb. Pili and Michi were.magic. Estor and Cicilia always smiling and welcoming at the front desk Eric leads by example. Chefs and wait staff went above and beyond. I wish I could mention everyone by name as they are a special team. A 5 star resort is more than jist the facilities. Its aboit the atmosphere

“Lovely staff, great food, nice pool.”
First of all, the staff is amazing. They are all so sweet and kind. The hotel is on a good location, and they have a great pool. Every day they try to help you and greet you on a really personal level. We got a room upgrade (from our POV; there were almost no other guests at the moment we checked in, so they wanted to locate all the guests in only two buildings, which we do understand). But the upgraded room was really nice. The beds in both rooms were really comfy and big, nice mattresses. The ac was leaking in our room and there was a lot of noise when we had doors closed. There was another guests playing hard music at the pool so we talked to the staff and they changed our room (and talked to the guy) so that's really sweet of them. They have an amazing pool area with really good beach acces and nice sunbeds towards the beach. Outside on the beach and on the road you can have some nice walkes and explore the area a little. We booked half board so we had breakfast and dinner. The food and the variety was really good. The quality of the food is amazing. Tastes really good, local style and heaps of healthy options. Two things what really had effect on our joy during our stay was the fact that the buffet opens at 1930, which was really too late for us. Because we booked half board but didn't know it'd be that late, otherwise we wouldn't have stayed here. That's a personal preference. The second thing was the really open structure from the bedroom to the bathroom. There's no door between bed and toilet area, which we really didn't like. For us a toilet is just a private space and it shouldn't be included in the room like this. Oh, and from my opinion; they aren't aloud to call their 'gym' a gym, because you can't get a proper workout done. Machine is half broken, hardly any weights and no space. Not sure if we'd go back, if we do it's without dinner but still the toilet situation is a no go for us.

“I booked for my birthday and the staff went out of their way to make the day feel really special for me”
The property is very well structured, modern finishes in the rooms but you also get a feel of “Africa”. The gym is great, the rooms are superb and the restaurant was excellent

“Super Amazing Hotel and Wonderful Staff!”
Everything, what an amazing establishment and staff! From the moment we arrived, we were treated with warmth and hospitality! We were gifted half boarding, talk about superior customer service! The rooms were amazing and beautiful, cleaned daily. The food options were amazing, our last dinner was on the beach with entertainment, wow! What a beautiful experience from beginning to the end. I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a holiday experience like no other. The pictures are not AI, it’s stunning in real life.

This Hotel is beautifully designed with modern and ecofriendly finishes. Staff were very helpful, good service. We took an all inclusive package, but the variety of drinks are limited. The location is on the beachfront and you get to experience Zanibar's low tide.
