Our beach villa showcased breathtaking ocean views, complemented by a delicious, diverse buffet. The cozy atmosphere and beautiful surroundings created a romantic retreat that we can't wait to revisit!

    Staff made our stay memorable

    The staff radiated warmth and cheer. They truly went the extra mile to make my mother's birthday unforgettable, creating a magical atmosphere during our stay.

    We encountered some issues with room allocation, and the beach had facilities that showed signs of wear.

    impeccable service

    Yo, the classic fried fish at the beachside bar was an absolute gem, perfectly crisp and oh-so-delicious! Plus, the Italian dinner night on the sand with dancing was a total highlight that turned our evening into a magical experience! And let’s not forget about the staff. they provided impeccable service that made us feel like we were part of their family!

    fresh flowers

    It was just an appropriate option for a momentary visit in Kiwengwa with fantastic value. I appreciated the daily fresh flowers in the room that made our stay feel special. Make sure to check the local tide schedule before heading out to the beach.

    exceptional service
    fresh seafood
    decor wear
    wi-fi reliability
    inconsistent experience

    Exceptional service set this stay apart, with incredibly friendly staff who consistently anticipated our needs. The fresh seafood offerings were a highlight, especially the local specialties that showcased culinary talent. Some areas, however, showed signs of wear, and while the atmosphere was inviting, a few adjustments in décor would enhance the experience. Wi-Fi reliability was also inconsistent, impacting connectivity.

    friendly staff
    dated common areas

    We had an incredible time at the resort! The food was outstanding, with a diverse selection that catered to even our children's tastes, thanks to the attentive chefs and staff. The pool area became our family's favorite, and the service from Rasheed was impeccable as he ensured we had everything we needed for our poolside relaxation. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff genuinely made us feel like part of the family.

    While our overall stay was excellent, the décor in some common areas could use a bit of refreshing.

    pool maintenance
    limited adventure activities

    Staying here for a week on our honeymoon was fantastic. We loved the beach villa facing the ocean, especially the fresh and diverse buffet offerings daily. Chef Victor impressed us with the variety in cuisine, never repeating a menu during our stay. The vibrant atmosphere of the hotel, coupled with the stunning flowers and welcoming staff, made our experience truly special.

    beautiful landscapes
    amazing food
    friendly staff
    limited activities for families

    The fine views of the Indian Ocean were made even better with our dog by our side. We enjoyed the delicious meals, notably the special lamb curry prepared by Victor, who gave us cooking tips that I'll always remember.

    My children wished for more variety in the adventure activities offered.
