Very quite and beautiful place. I had a pleasant stay with my wife very peaceful and not to far from town to go do stuff. Iโ€™ll for sure go back again. The staff was very friendly and generous.

Great views and nice rooms. Big pool and a deck that goes over the beach. 180 degree view of the coastline. 20 minutes to the market and shops in Stone Town. Taxi cost for a ride there is about 10000-15000 shillings. Almost everything is negotiable here :) price of meals at the hotel restaurant is very expensive compared to Stone Town restaurants. And service is very slow. I wouldnt recommend much beyond the pizza or grilled food, itself pretty mediocre.

This hotel consists of two buildings. One is central, there is a pool, a cafe / dining room, the other building is located at a distance of 200-300 meters. They lived in the second building. The views from the window are wow! (view, the higher the better). Large room with balcony, large four-poster bed, refrigerator, air conditioning, TV. We had breakfasts, a buffet, freshly squeezed fruit juice, a bunch of nutella, toast, scrambled eggs, fruit ... Although the views from the window are cool, but the beach is not bathable because of the stones, you need to go to Nungwi or Kendwa, where the beaches are excellent. The hotel is located in the village of Bububu, to the central road it is about 1-1.5 km along the potholes. You can rent a car at the reception. Near the hotel there is very poor infrastructure. Near a noisy and dirty fishing village.

Nice quiet hotel. All rooms have air conditioning refrigerator hot water comfortable bed. Cleaning every day. Well-groomed green area. The restaurant is well prepared. Of the minuses, the beach is sand and stones. We must take the slippers. The hotel is located away from the main road. So without a car, itโ€™s not very good. But there is a taxi. Stand near the hotel. A good hotel is worth the money

A cozy hotel with very nice and friendly staff. The restaurant is delicious and relatively inexpensive to feed. Except for breakfast, which is included in the price (served slowly, not tasty, dishes are not clean enough). Neat and beautiful area, swimming pool, free parking, you can rent a car, which I highly recommend, because in the hotel and the surrounding beaches to do nothing.Disadvantages - uncomfortable, uncomfortable beach, dirty water during the wind. There are no grocery stores near the hotel, only fruit, street food from the locals, water and beer.For young people who want to hang out, the place is absolutely not suitable.

Review โ„–22

The restaurant price / quality is disgusting, the staff is very strange and slow, they constantly forget something, do not bring (water, towels, change), some of the staff try to cheat for money out of the blue. The beach can be conventionally called a beach, sharp stones and a pile of rubbish around the entire perimeter of the entrance. Rooms are 2 stars maximum. On the plus side, there is a good pool and vegetation on the territory.

The hotel is not in the best location. But from here you can quickly get by taxi to Stone Town. I advise you to rent a car. Only a jeep. The roads are bad in the villages. On the central roads, the road surface is good. Just ask for a car at the reception. And the next day they will provide it to you. $ 15 right and $ 25 Jeep per day. Gasoline is about $ 1 per liter.The hotel itself consists of two buildings. I liked building B. More quiet and comfortable place. The rooms are clean and everything works. For your money, this is a good option. I really didnt like the breakfasts at all. You must constantly ask for food, otherwise you will remain hungry.Your beach. But swimming is not pleasant. Ebb tide. The water is cloudy. Nearby is a fishing village. Mousse on the shore.Just spend the night and travel by car around the island.Good luck !!!

The hotel is bad, there is no beach, only stones, mud, no one cleans up the beach, no ocean, the food is disgusting, the pool is dirty, some minuses! There are no cafes or shops around, 2 km to the highway. I would not recommend this place to anyone. We flew in January 2021 for 9 nights for 105 rubles from Anex. Not worth the money.

In general, the hotel is 2.5)), the rooms clean the linen clean, air conditioning, this is where the pleasant experience ends. The whole hotel is tired, the breakfasts are terrible, very long service, on the first day I ordered a pizza that something half-baked was brought, on the last day they wanted soup in the evening they brought salted slurry. Hakuna matata they all have))

In general, the hotel is solid 4. The staff is polite, the breakfasts are modest (ask the waiters for an omelet and fruit, cleaning every day, clean territory. The entrance to the ocean is not very good, but the kralks save. If you go to the right there are a bunch of beautiful places and beaches. The disadvantage is remoteness. from the road, about 20 minutes to walk to buy something from food. To the left is a fishing village, about 15 minutes on foot (there you can buy fish and it will be cooked right away for a small fee) There are taxi drivers at the hotel, you can arrange excursions with them and other beaches . Bargain. Everywhere.

Guys, I will say that I leave an honest review as from a person who has been to many places! But Iโ€™ll say right away, the people here are different, there are a lot of scammers and they are all very lazy and they must be rushed all the time!The hotel itself: balls out of 5 is 2, why such a rating (out of 5):1.Cleanness by 5 - (always clean and smells very nice, I clean it and everyone gives a new one every day).2. Bed and furniture for 4 - (everything is very old but bearable, the bed is a bomb, I lie quietly 1.80m and get high)3. Electronics at 1, maybe even 0! (You need to ask for a refrigerator 3-4 times, the Internet, you can forget about it altogether !! What kind of wifi - its not here, but if you catch it, you can forget about downloading pictures, SMS in the vibe will not load! About the TV, but what can I say? - I havent learned Swahili yet! There are Russian channels in China, but only one thing pleases me - that there is an air conditioner!4. Restaurant for 5 but breakfasts for 3, the prices are normal and the food is very delicious! , you just need to be able to communicate and they will prepare all the dishes as you need!5. Once again about wifi - its not there6. As for the hotel staff, except for the restaurant and the cleaning ladies, this is horror, nefig cannot do it, say about the Internet 100 times, say about light 100 times, say about some little things 100 times.7. Pool - 4, everything is very cool, but could clean more oftenGuys, in general, Ill say this, hotels under 3000 in Tanzania are all like that, even without Pool and with terrible food. So if you want more comfort and the hotel is clearer, it is only nugwia and kangwu, especially rock star kangwu - a very clear hotel!

Normal hotel, breakfasts are modest, omelet and fruit are served if you ask the waiter, who does not know is left without both. Rooms are clean, cleaned well, 3 times in 10 days they decorated the bed with flowers. The beach is rocky, at low tide I caught a hedgehog. Great administrators, always helpful. Quiet tranquil location. It will be boring without a car, you can rent it at the reception.

We live in a hotel for 10 days. Clean every day, change towels (1 towel per person), add soap, shampoo, water every other day, almost always decorate the bed with flowers. It is desirable to have a raptor. The first evening there were a lot of insects in the room, but after contacting the reception, the cleaner reacted quickly, sprayed and cleaned them. Very close to the ocean, a few meters from the beach, with fishing boats. If you walk further along the beach, you can get to the local market, affordable prices, ripe fruit, nice locals, with whom we spend our evenings. The cafe in the hotel has a good location, but wants to be the best. The food here is so-so, the prices are inflated. Breakfasts are more or less suitable for a quick snack. If you go to breakfast not at the beginning, the pineapple juice may no longer be and do not add, except to buy more. Fresh fruit is delicious for 5,000 local currency. There is a bar and local beer. Large pool, sun loungers, there is also a childrens pool. Often low tides in the ocean. Near the hotel on the beach locals offer tours, car rental, seafood lunch. Be sure to bargain)In Captain Sultan, they rented a car for all days, also took advantage of the offered dinner, with his friend went to Tanzania on Safari on New Years Eve. If you do not like to lie on the beach for days, then a car or motorcycle will be very much in the subject. The movement is normal, quickly gets used. In general, the rest was 10!

The hotel has the name Amaan ocean hotel, as well. Different sources are called differently. Judging from the stories, the hotel experienced rebranding, but this did not help him become better apparently. The staff is for the most part very lazy and optional, they need to be requested several times. The exception is the reception. The beach is very dependent on the phase of the moon and the time of year when you arrived: I most of the time and could not swim due to low tide and also because of the large amount of algae. But then the ebbs became not so big and the opportunity appeared to swim. There is practically no infrastructure; getting to the city is a whole test. In the village there is a market where you can buy fruits and vegetables and other little things. Prices in the hotel restaurant are overpriced compared to other hotels (verified) and there is no alternative to them. All rooms may lack equipment. If we get lucky. I did not have 2 chairs, glasses, for example. Wifi is disgusting. It is quiet here, only African children and yelling at the top of their throats break the silence; On the left is a fishing village - there is a stench and incredible dirt, go in - to penetrate. The local people are good, very friendly.

They steal money.The hotel is generally good. Now he joined the Amaan group. The rooms are not to say that they are freshly renovated, but on the whole they are decent. the furniture is old, but thats not the point. There are many insects, but mostly outside, we found a protector in the form of a lizard over the front door, which ate everyone who flew into the outdoor lighting. Once in the room we saw a huge cockroach. HUGE of this. Horror.Cleaning was daily. Towels were changed every day, but for 2 people were given 2 large, 1 for the face and 1 for the legs. strange distribution. Shower gels were 5 months overdue, they did not report every day, which was very upsetting. In general, there are no questions about cleaning, except that money was stolen from our room during cleaning. The hotel administration did not react to the incident.There is a safe at the reception, where you can also drop off your laundry at a reasonable price.The location of the hotel is extremely unfortunate. There is nothing around. Its even a shame to call the beach a beach - some kind of misunderstanding and not a beach. It is convenient only if you only plan to spend the night and travel around the island all day on your own.The hotel cafe is very mediocre, the price does not match the quality. The waiters are slow, unfriendly.

Was in this hotel at the end of February. There was one, not burdened by an eternally hungry husband and children demanding entertainment, so I liked almost everything. But you need to be prepared for some nuances ...* The hotel is located far from civilization. Nearby, about 500 meters, there is a local village market where you can buy cheap fruit, fresh fish caught by local fishermen, boiled rice, bread. The fish can be immediately cleaned and fried at an inexpensive price. The road to the track is almost unpaved, about 1.5 km. Closer to the track, tents with water, soda, shale and other trifles start. You can take a bus and go almost free to any part of the island. I took the bus only to Stone Town, mostly to the distant beaches, they clubbed themselves by taxi, they always stand at the entrance to the hotel, but you have to bargain hard and clearly stipulate the services - there have been misunderstandings ... :).Massage tent next to the hotel. For an amateur.* About the hotel beach ... The first day was a terrible disappointment ... Then I adjusted and blissed out. I caught the sea before breakfast and after six in the evening. The entrance even at high tide is not comfortable - you definitely need reef slippers ...The pool is nice. Large and reasonably well maintained.* Breakfasts are scarce for the assortment, but you always leave full. Fruit and scrambled eggs (or scrambled eggs, as you ask) are served in portions, you have to ask. I have never seen fresh vegetables. She brought with her tomatoes bought at the bazaar. But fresh every day one tastes better than the other!* Custom food (for a fee) neither expensive nor cheap, not super nor sucks ... So-so, you can have dinner.* The hotel itself is uniquely planned - each room has its own entrance. Friendly and smiling staff. A small, clean, picturesque area with huge mango trees, luxurious flowering hibiscus bushes. The rooms were cleaned every day, but the towels could not be changed, if you ask, they will give you no problem. Drinking water is given out in two bottles per room, but you need to go to the reception yourself. Didnt fit - didnt get it. Change beach towels as much as you want, but be sure to make a deposit of $ 10 on the first day. Then they give it away without any problems. When cleaning, they put soap and shampoo bottles in the room. The rooms are regularly treated for insects, so there were no mosquitoes or ants in my room.I gladly treated the staff with Alenka chocolates brought from Russia and left a small tip. Maybe thats why the room was always clean and the bed dressed up, and there were no problems. Or maybe just people like that! :)

It is worthy for the stated price. But for those who are accustomed to a beach vacation felting and nothing not doing this hotel is not suitable. Living here is just boring, not entertainment or infrastructure. Cozy clean rooms and all.

It could be a beautiful resort, but it seems that it does not have an owner who would mature to make up for minor shortcomings, which generally do not make a good impression on the client. The pool is amazing, the beach terrible.
