Superb

A fairly good stay except for the experience above.

Very spacious and amazing room. Lots of greenery. Complimentary bikes. Very good variety for breakfast. Nice plunge pool. Kids club. Fresh food. Good variety during buffet dinners.

Was asked to pay an extra US$ 95 for kids Christmas Eve lunch that never was. Was just given the runaround with the staff unable to explain the basis of this charge as I had to pay separately for the lunch. No refund was forthcoming either.

Lovely, warm experience in paradise

The resort is remote and private, with great facilities especially the pool. The villas are spacious and comfortable and the private pool amazing. Loved the food. We ate at the main dining room and every night there was a different theme and the food always enjoyable with wide variety. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We loved our stay.

The resort is big and it can be quite a walk. There is a golf cart service but you may have to wait. They also have bikes, but it would be great to have more kiddie bikes for the little ones to get around.

Disappointing

It was clean and it was in a good area and quiet.

The big issue were bugs and it was really annoying each night to watch out for these different sort of bugs. The Hotel could definitely work hard on the bugs issues . . . . The beach is dirty and not the white sands which people compare to other places such as Nungwi . ..

I came with my boyfriend for my fifth time, his first. It was a very romantic and relaxing stay. They are always so welc

The property is tranquil, relaxing and aesthetically pleasing. The community infinity pool is AMAZING! Could spend hours in there. The rooms all have your own infinity pool as well which is amazing if you have an ocean front room. There is a bathtub in the villa that is big enough for two, which is nice for couples. The staff is exceptional, they will go out of their way to get you whatever you need to make your stay as comfortable as possible. There are also NO BEACH BOYS!! Which is a huge plus. Private beach, private villa, private property.

There honestly isnt much I dont like about the property, I think if they added TVs with Netflix or something would be nice but youll be outside most of the time so you dont really even need that.
