Our stay at the Royal Apartments from December 22nd, 2024 to January 4th, 2025 was truly magical. The property boasts a small but dedicated team that ensured all our needs were met with precision and care. From maintaining the pristine condition of the villas to crafting bespoke meals, every detail was meticulously handled. The beautiful towel art and personalized recommendations for island excursions added delightful touches to our experience. Moreover, the stables and lovely horses provided unforgettable beach rides during stunning sunsets, making our stay even more enchanting. A special mention goes to Sophie at the front desk, Zach the manager, Mr. Saidi in F&B, and Chef Ochu, the head chef, for their warm smiles and impeccable hospitality. We highly recommend this experience and would rate it a perfect 9/10.

The property is amazing, large , very comfortable with an amazing garden and if lucky enough to get the gardener he will take coconuts down from the trees for you to drink the water . Each room has its own bathroom which is very handy. The dinning table is also handy and the very large kitchen makes it really good to cook a family meal. The house is located in an African neighbourhood about 20 minutes from stonetown. I loved the fact that I went back to the real Africa with lots os little tradesman around . In front of the house you have a seamstress that made some clothes for me. The house is very well cared for by the owner’s sister that will do anything for you. I was also very lucky to have an amazing taxi driver recommended by the owner. If you need a driver don’t doubt in contracting him for the day because he will take you around with no issue and is a very kind man.
