This property is surly a dream. The property overall is very well kept and you can constantly see the staff doing all kinds of up keep. The rooms are clean and spacious, and the staff is absolutely amazing; From the amazing front desk crew to the restaurant and the rooftop pub (except at the morning breakfast buffet team that were unfriendly and not attentive). My wife had several services at the spa, and she said that the service was exceptional. We travel a lot and I cant remember giving all 5 stars, I can't say enough about this place.

Decent Stay but WiFi Issues Need Attention
The hotel was decent overall. The rooms were fine - clean and comfortable enough -and breakfast was satisfactory with a reasonable selection. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the stay more pleasant. However, the WiFi was a major issue. It didn’t work in our room at all, and despite reporting it, the problem was never resolved, which was quite inconvenient. On the plus side, Noel, the manager, was caring and attentive, which was appreciated.

Great place with below average food
4.5* hotel with very nice grounds poll and access to beach. Really enjoyed the stay except the food. You would expect that island nation would know how to cook fish and see food. Extreamly disappointment with food quality and lack of interest even if you make comment that something is not tasty. There was one person Kisa which was top notch and really helpful. And one meal which was amazing Arusha beef fillet - perfectly cooked. Everything else served especially during lunch 2*. I have still enjoyed my stay and could recommend it if food is not your thing

Beautiful property with a nice view being located directly on the beach. However, upon arrival and the duration of my stay there was a sewage smell when I walked into my room. Also there was no hot water so I had to shower with cold water everyday & night which was extremely uncomfortable. One night after calling about it someone came to fix it but that only lasted for one shower afterwards it was back to cold showers. The next time I called to get it fixed, I waited almost an hour before someone came to my room, which was an inconvenience because I needed to get ready to head out. Even then nothing was done about it. The one thing I love to enjoy on vacation is a nice hot shower so the fact that it wasn’t available to me every night was disappointing. Also there were not many enjoyable entertainments at this hotel. Nonetheless, great customer service.

Everything about this hotel was amazing. The only thing I want to warn other travelers is that the staff will service and treat others first and better. No matter how long you were there first. I’ve noticed this on multiple occasions. This will be the only reason why I won’t book there again.

Amazing place to stay with beautiful views. The staff are so helpful and accommodating. Only down side is that the 24hour room service menu is quite limited in terms of options but besides that, nothing negative to say. Great stay
