 The
hotel has 89 rooms, divided into 26 Junior Suites,
35 Cottages and 28 Garden Rooms. The best rooms are
the Junior Suites, all with generous sea views
situated along the beachfront. These are the only
rooms with sea views and are positioned at the top
of the slope in the lush tropical gardens – so
ensure to upgrade to one of these if a view over the
ocean is on your priority list.
The Garden Rooms are
a little smaller and situated at the back of the
hotel, while the cottages are positioned at the top
of the slope in the lush tropical gardens. All the
rooms have easy access to the long stretch of beach.
All the rooms have
makuti (palm-thatch) roofs and are decorated in a
modern style with some Zanzibari characteristics.
They are very clean, well-maintained and
comfortable. They all have air-conditioners, ceiling
fans, mini-bars, telephones. The junior suites and
cottages have impressive en-suite marble bathrooms.
Each room has its own veranda and the beds have
mosquito nets. In order not to spoil the romance of
a beach holiday there are no televisions in the
rooms. If you need to catch up on news or watch a
movie, there’s a satellite television room in the
main lodge.
We obviously recommend the Junior Suites with sea
views, but these are more expensive. If you're not
really fussed about the view then the cottages are
perfect. If you're not really fussed about the room
size or the view, then the garden rooms are just as
good.

This fantastic hotel is
situated approximately 65km from Stone Town. It has been granted
international 5 star rating and is one of the most luxurious on the
Eastern coast. The huge reception area welcomes you into one of the best beach resorts on the
island. The structure is a local thatch called "makuti" and
coral. This is quite breathtaking when arriving for the first time. The
staff are fantastic, always smiling and greeting you with the familiar
"karibu" which is welcome in Swahili. Service is excellent and
the food from one of the four restaurants is outstanding.
