The location of the hotel on the beach was amazing: the apartment room was spacious and comfortable and a short walk from the main hotel building. Food was excellent and we enjoyed watching the dhows go out whilst we had a leisurely Breakfast. The rooftop pool had amazing views and the larger pool downstairs was clean, warm and relatively unused.

It had character and style. The situation looking over the harbour and near stone town was perfect. Our room looked over the swimming pool with a balcony which was lovely. The beds very comfortable too. The breakfast was second to none. I especially enjoyed the fruit selection and freshly made omelettes. We also enjoyed evening meals watching the sun set over the harbour.

    The location and architecture is fantastic, few other places in town match it, if at all. The deep pool was a surprise, not expected from a city centre location. The room is stylish and there will s a very quiet Aircon in operation.
