This small hotel is located on the best beach in Zanzibar. There is no animation at all, the children will be bored, you will entertain them yourself. There is a pool, but it is small, very hot and muddy, it stinks of chlorine, and I did not dare to get into it. The room was quite large and decorated in an African style with a huge four-poster bed and a toilet through a large corridor like a walk-in closet. In principle, the room seemed normal to me, only the bed was placed on a pedestal and there were bumps and scratches on its corners all the time, it was very uncomfortable. You have to go down the stairs to the beach, in principle, you walk beautifully through the fountains, the trees are blooming, but it's hard to climb back after the sea in the heat. And the buildings themselves are very outdated, they look like abandoned buildings in the corridors. The meals were only breakfasts, they are very simple, even the fried eggs are absolutely not tasty, everything is kind of empty and bland. The sea was very muddy, there were a lot of jellyfish swimming, there was garbage from boats, of which there are a lot, in short, you can sit in the water, but you can't swim, the nearby sunset hotel has a swimming area fenced with buoys, and we went there. The sun beds on the beach are normal and there are a lot of them. Local calories everywhere on the beach there are masked guys like Masai, offering some kind of services. In general, the locals are very arrogant, with an average salary of $ 200, they want to skin three white people, rent masks, take $ 50 as a deposit, they took it back, the money was never given, the hotel employee just ran away, all crooks. That's what they say, buy something expensive from us, you whites are obligated to support us. Children are running along the beach and begging for money. One day we didn't go far and were horrified by the slums in which the locals live, while everyone walks along the beach with iPhones, and I want to say: go to work! And the worst part is, the hotel does not have a very high ultraviolet index of 11 on average, and it's scary, 100 smeared!

We were in 2020, traveling to many countries and hotels. Here in Zanzibar is PARADISE! The best vacation experiences are right here! I would really like to come back here, very much.
A wonderful hotel, the security works perfectly, the staff is polite, there is a Russian-speaking girl at the reception. They were fed a lot and tasty. You can go up from the hotel and eat local cuisine so to speak in the village, but many will not be satisfied, I think, go to the left from the hotel if there is an Armani guide like that was his name and haggled well with him with a trip to the islands I highly recommend. Bargain for corals, too, and only in good weather there, otherwise we were unlucky once and barely sailed back
