I stayed at this resort for weeks and it was worth my money spent. Amazing service by the staff. Delicious food! Not forgetting the fresh different types of juice served in the morning . I will definitely go back there.

Good hotel and resort with poor organization ,but quite a good place to lay low and hide from the urban noises

My experience is taxi service all Island of Zanzibar visiting historical places beaches local village and all place

The hotel is nice, the rooms are very big and spacious, clean and the service is amazing. The staff were so nice and helpful always.I highly recomend this place.

Its a very nice place to go, it is good looking with very cool environment.

The stay was good. The hotel is located at a good place for those who need total silence.. Its quite and peaceful for relaxing... The service is good also although I would request management to increase on breakfast varieties and keep changing menus.. The buildings are very good and rooms specious and clean.. I would like to say thumbs up for a lady calledALIKA she was so welcoming and with good service at the restaurant...

I stayed in the resort for a week and Im really satisfied with my stay. Employees were really friendly and helpful and service was on high level. My room was perfectly clean and kept in nice conditions for all stay. Various of the activity and water activity didnt let me feel bored.I really recommend this place for nice and relaxing holidays :)

Superb place very nice built and design with very fast service, but u got to fix the pee smell in the public toilet near the Bar out side the Ngalawa Night club

Nice rooms for long stay, they have lovely apartment 😘

Beach is absent.Restaurant for breakfast is ok, better then other places.Budget room is almost not suitable for living

Food and services plus the ambience

Do not waste your time or money at this hotel.

Beautiful structures. The service (restaurant) is a little slow

Excellent service, good food but no alcohol is served here 🤐

It was ok.But i wasnt happy that they have a pool but no floaters for children especially. THe baby pool is far from the big pool.Their kitchen stuff is unprofessional.I flagstaffi come with a baby and i ask for aby food i expect baby food but i would make an order and they would take ages to get the food. ... I was disappointed on how they dont care much for children. T add they dont have baby chairs in the restaurants.

Its a nice place. Very busy on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. There is a night club

Though far from town, dusty road but the destination so worth it! Castle like buildings, clean pools, rooms with unbelievable views..... And theres a nightclub club too near the shore!

Very nice beach and extremely friendly staff

Though a little old but I love the environment and natural surrounding

Very nice and clean, tidy and time location and territory

Wonderful Hotel, nice club house

Do not use this hotel... enough said.

Amazing 4 star resortHidden by the mangroves of bububuThis place is modern and classyWith facility such as jetski and kayak

The hotel looks like its still new (2 to 3 yrs old), it has 3 restaurants and 2 pool areas...The hotel should increase the variety on their menus as there are no other restaurants nearby.

Nice place and nice Chaza Club but the palce is too small for hosting events

Very new wing added to the old hotel and a walkway to the beach.very silent area and staff very happy to recieve guests.the staff look a little confused and show uncordinated services but with some serious inhouse training it is the place to be.the road to the hotel needs attention as it challenges small cars

A very big and beautiful hotel in zanzibar.

This is marvelous hotel, so cool however its a bit away from main road and the access road is rough. And some how expensive

This hotel is beautiful. Lovely conference facilities, beautiful rooms and a pool. The ocean is not that far either

My stay in this property was by far enjoyable! Welcoming staff! Enjoyed a warm welcome and company from Jabu. Aloha nui loa!

Great place, good music... they need to restrict entry to above 21 though... the crowd is full of teenagers!

Nice place

Good hotel! But its just boring on the territory, there is no animation, two small pools are not a bad restaurant, food for four. Numbers worthy corresponding to fives. Beach 200 meters after lunch, good depth you can swim cleanly), but beware of many sharp reefs and sea urchins. Overall, not bad. I recommend!

Pros: 3 swimming pools, territory, cleaning, evening treatment for mosquitoes (when a hotel employee suddenly appears in the room with a can of spray). Breakfasts are normal, but after 9 days you get tired of them, and the main entertainment is the queue for an omelet. But, you will find food in the restaurant, and at the locals and in neighboring hotels. There is a gym! I have never used it during my vacation, but its presence made me happy. To the highway 11 minutes walk through the village of Bububu, safe. Stop next to the Ngalawa sign, at 116, 502, 121 (buses, there is still dala, directions are signed), you will go to Stone Town and back, the price for Mzung is 500-1000 shillings, go for about 30 minutes. to Nungwi and Kendwa, the price for Mzung is 2500 shillings, about an hours drive.Guided tours are offered on the territory (bargain, the price was reduced by 40%, maybe you can do better). The staff are great. Oh yes, sockets: they fit our plugs, but as you insert, remove the protection (poke something into the middle hole with something sharp).

The hotel is not bad, but of course it does not attract 5 stars. No beach, dirty, terrible ebb. Who pity $ 40 for a trip to other beaches, sit by the pools, there are 3 pools.If you want to clean up every day, give $ 1 to the girls.

Quite a large area. But the stage and other places do not look very good and need renovation. But the feature of this hotel is the unusual locations in its surroundings. Especially noteworthy is the restaurant with a pool overlooking the ocean. But the prices in it are, of course, greatly inflated. But the service and food are decent.There is a guard, strangers are not allowed. Even the dogs bark angry in the evenings.Of course, you can swim, but you wont get much pleasure. The ebb is very pronounced. But overall the hotel is interesting.

We are now at the hotel. We drove without special expectations, but still, even 4 stars did not pull.For 3 days, the room was not cleaned even once, even the garbage was not taken out, and the posted sign was removed. Water was supplied only once upon arrival, the same with regard to bathroom accessories. You have to ask for toilet paper at the reception. For 3 adults in the room there are 2 sets of towels, they asked for another one upon arrival, they promised tomorrow, 3 days have passed ... They are not.Breakfasts are norms, we have no complaints. For dinner, the volume of food is not calculated for the number of visitors, despite the fact that the hotel is clearly not full. They did not come to the beginning, so as not to crowd, therefore 2 times were left without meat at all, at the end they did not replenish the feed. The choice is small, but there is, if not to talk about meat or fish, of which we were left with only the sauce😂In the absence of an all-inclusive system, it is surprising that neither in the bar nor in the cafe there is an opportunity to have a snack for a fee, I attach the menu, the prices are inadequate. From drinks only cola, sprite and water. We ordered beer, apparently they went to the store for it))We went to the village for water and fruit, not far and inexpensive.In general, the hotel is a C grade.Tomorrow we are leaving for another, tk. the tour is compound, I do not provide what to do here for the whole vacation.

The hotel left a sense of defrauded expectations. We bought a tour at the last moment and among the proposed hotels we stopped on this because five stars and the photos presented are very cool rooms, although they understood that the location was not very good, but for the sake of a cool hotel they agreed) The result in the photo is “balconies »Of our rooms)) There was no door to the toilet in the room, not a single hook or shelf, Water in the sink did not leave and there was a constant smell. When we were settled, the staff began to ask actively: do we want to replace the room? Of course we wanted to. We were led to show rooms from those expected pictures, and there were supposedly no double rooms, but they offered one of two or three rooms of a large room - shared with other tourists. This joy of the upgrade cost $ 300 per week. We decided that this place was not worth it, especially since there was no desire to live with other tourists. As a result, they rented a car for the whole vacation and rented a very good hotel on an agoda, as well as traveled all over the island. In general, the impressions are mixed. Perhaps the hotel is not to blame that during the sale of tours they show the wrong picture, but the feeling of divorce did not leave. There is no beach at the hotel, construction is still underway, the breakfast is poor. The staff generally tries, but of course this did not smooth out the overall impression.
