It's over 1 hr. drive from the airport but once you get to the hotel you would feel the peace and serenity around you enough to forget your journey. The newly built accommodation is really nice but they need to either get a king mattress of put a frame around the twin XL mattress to prevent them from separating if you roll towards the middle.

Highlights: - the food!!! Best all inclusive food I’ve had - the staff!! They are SO friendly, polite and want to make sure you’re having a great time - location. Stunning location on the beach. The grounds are lovely and you get to use Jambo next door also. - House keeping! Amazing room decor every day. Opportunities: - entertainment is lacking, especially if it’s raining. So bring some cards with you. - our room door batteries had to be changed 3 times across 12 days, which seemed a lot. Perhaps we were just unlucky. We loved staying here and had the best time. Sadly I got acute tonsillitis but the onsite doctors sorted me out (though I’ll neee to claim that back) I, naively, didn’t realise there was such a tip culture so didn’t come with enough cash, so would recommend to others to have plenty of small notes in USD. -

Magnifique !

Emplacement et plages magnifiques. Le personnel est abondant, présent et le service est généralement excellent. La nourriture est variée et délicieuse. Je recommande la suite junior « 134 » qui est confortable, spacieuse et parfaitement située près de la piscine principale, du gym et des restaurants. Cette suite possède une vue sur les jardins luxuriants, une vue partielle sur l’océan et sur les couchers de soleil magnifiques. L’entretien ménager est irréprochable. Dans les petites choses à améliorer, outre la décoration des chambres qui selon moi manque un peu de sobriété, le séchoir à cheveux est de qualité médiocre et les équipements de musculation à la salle de sport sont désuets et incomplets. Également, le contenu du mini bar était sans intérêt pour moi (Coke-Sprite-Fanta-bière). J’ai demandé de l’eau pétillante et on ne me l’a jamais apporté. Bref, pas grand chose à redire et aucun irritant majeur vécu à l’hôtel. Dans un autre ordre d’idée, mon seul regret dans ce voyage est d’avoir loué un véhicule pour 10 jours en pensant explorer l’île par moi-même. Les routes et les véhicules de location sont en mauvais état, la police arrête les touristes pour obtenir de l’argent et la circulation sur l’île est chaotique. En outre, il faut obtenir un permis de conduire tanzanien ce qui s’est avéré compliqué pour moi lors de la prise en charge du véhicule à l’aéroport. À éviter.

Excellent hotel and service. Food was very good as well, with the caveat that the buffet was not always available (some nights were a la carte only). Limited entertainment, but it was enjoyable when there was some. I would choose this hotel again regardless of those two things, overall it was a wonderful experience
