    The location is ideal, right in the centre of Stone town, on the beach with a beautiful view of the sunset. One of the few hotels in Stone town with a pool (3 pools to be precise), one of which overlooks the beach. The breakfast was tasty, with a good selection. Rooms were spacious and clean, with good air conditioning.

    The rooms and the entire hotel are so beautifully furnished and decorated, not to mention the most pretty bathrooms I've ever seen! The view from the balconies facing the Ocean, the fantastic pool at the very center of the hotel, the hotel's location right on the beach while at the same time with a walking distance to everything you wish to reach in Stonetown. The breakfast was excellent with a broad variety of choices for all tastes, and the staff members are professional and welcoming. We will definitely be back!

    Perfect location for Stone Town, popular hotel right on the beach. The room was traditional, clean and quiet. Friendly staff - special thanks to Isaac in the restaurant.

    Right on the beach with great beach access walking out of the dining area to the beach. You can also access boats for excursions from this beach. The breakfast buffet was very good.

    The hotel is located right on the beach with incredible views of the ocean. The staff are really helpful and polite and there’s a wide variety of choices at breakfast. The rooms are comfortable and there are a few swimming pools to refresh yourself in.

    • The staff, from Reception to gardeners were all so friendly and helpful • The restaurant and bar – a good variety and reasonably priced, especially the cocktails • The swimming pool, with a wonderful view • The sunsets and dawns - wonderful • The gardens, well looked after and cool • The location, right on the beach, just along from a picturesque, if slightly smelly, fishing village

    Its is an historic building in a prime seaside location with beautiful terrace under the trees by the beach, where breakfast and excellent coffee is being served. My room had nice balcony with breathtaking ocean and sunset views
