Lovely stay in Zanzibar
The hotel was good choice as we had renter car and could go everywhere on the island. It was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The ocean was not the best beach in zanzibar but this is not the hotels fault.

Afkobling ved poolen
Hotellet er ret nyt så ikke mange i området kender det. Vi ankom om natten og kunne ikke finde det før vi var heldig at den sidste vi spurgte kendte stedet. Skiltning er dårlig og vores taxa kørte først forbi stedet. Der nummer er et tysk nummer de havde ikke et lokalt et som kunne anvendes da vi ikke kunne finde stedet. Personalet var søde men ikke helt så hjælpsomme. Ved ankomst fortalte vi at vi skulle videre dagen efter og gerne ville dele taxa med andre gæster. Da de gæster som skulle samme sted som os tog afsted blev vi ikke informeret. Stedet er som på billederne. Der er meget tang, så det er ikke nemt at komme til havet. De mangler stadig at forfine maling, pynt og de sidste ting men hvis ikke man går i detaljerne er stedet virkelig smukt. Der er intet at lave i området, men stedet er perfekt til afkobling.
