The crappiest hotel I've ever stayed in. A large B&B, but it has the nerve to call itself a resort. It opened my eyes to the fact that managers were messy, talked nonsense, and did not solve problems but only shirk responsibility. We checked in at 8 o'clock in the evening and were told that the room was still being cleaned, but they also said that the check-out time was 10:30 in the morning. Regardless of whether this is reasonable or not, what were the staff doing during the intervening nine and a half hours? I checked in at eight o'clock and entered the room at ten o'clock. There was a strong smell of air freshener. I didn't understand it, but I was shocked. Security is close to zero, and villagers outside the hotel can come and go at will. At 5:30 in the morning, someone tried to break in. The sound of the door lock being pushed and pulled hurriedly woke us up. We were yelled at many times before letting the person who tried to break in leave. So we immediately called the front desk to no avail. Then he yelled at the window for security personnel, to no avail. I contacted the platform and asked platform personnel to help contact the hotel, but the platform personnel said they could not be reached. I called the front desk again at 6 a.m. to no avail. So we stayed in the room from 5:30 to 8:30, not daring to sleep or go out. We didn't go out until it was completely light. The meal is a pile of rubbish, no judgment. Then at noon, the hotel management came, very aggressive, and without listening to what we said, they directly told us that the security here was tight, so I told you this morning. The front desk told me that there are only two security personnel in total, and one of them is the gatekeeper. She said there were six of them patrolling several different areas. I said I didn’t see anyone along the way, so please take me to where they are. She said the security personnel might have gone to have lunch, go to the toilet, or buy something in a store. It was normal not to see them. The management said it was a dog scratching the door. I said my nails scratched your wooden door and there were obvious marks. If the dog scratched it, why was there no mark at all? And will the dog behave like sliding the door lock to break in? She said it was ok because their dogs are smart and may or may not have imprints. I said I wanted to see the surveillance video, and she said the one we had was broken. But actually we don’t even have cameras there. How disgusting.

Мы останавливались в этом отеле на 4 дня. Начну с плюсов: безусловным достоинством является приватный пляж, что и стало основным фактором нашего выбора. Здесь действительно ощущается уединение, так как отсутствуют торговцы, проходящие Масаи. В отеле всего 12 номеров, что создаёт спокойную, уединенную атмосферу. Лаунж зона около пляжа - отличная. Мы там старались проводить большую часть времени, так как это отвлекало от ниже описанных минусов. На пляже присутствуют приливы и отливы, но для нас это не стало дискомфортом, так как мы изначально планировали свой отпуск с учетом этого. Спуск в воду удобный, и если правильно рассчитывать время приливов, купаться очень комфортно. Во время отлива можно просто прогуливаться по пляжу, что тоже оказалось довольно интересно. Однако есть несколько существенных минусов, о которых стоит упомянуть. Отель явно нуждается в обновлении и реставрации. Мебель очень старая, номера выглядят неопрятными, а полотенца — изношенными. Постельное белье оставляет желать лучшего — оно пахнет как в больнице, что создаёт дискомфорт во время сна. В нашем номере было разбитое зеркало, и присутствовали насекомые. Дополнительный дискомфорт доставляли две собаки и коты, живущие в отеле. Кот часто приходил под дверь просить еду, а собакам разрешалось лежать на креслах, диванах в отеле. Владелец часто появляется с обезьянкой, которая большая часть времени на привязи и в памперсах, странная картина, но ладно 😄. Было удивительно, но никакого взаимодействия с гостями, поэтому создалось впечатление полного безразличия с его стороны или не слышать реальную неприятную ему обратную связь. Также стоит отметить качество завтраков. Они крайне скудные и не вкусные, что разочаровывает. Даже не хотелось проходить мимо кухни, так как создавалось ощущение отсутствия стерильности. Меню ограничено и отсутствует шведский стол. Кофе вам тут не нальют :) Обеды и ужины тоже по системе «а-ля карт», при этом цены сильно завышены, а порции очень маленькие. Еда в целом простая, и не соответствует заявленным ценам. За основной ужин на двоих придётся отдать порядка 60-70 долларов, однако качество блюд — ниже среднего. Если вы захотите пообедать или поужинать за пределами отеля, потребуется трансфер, который стоит 20-30 долларов в обе стороны. Пешком дойти до ближайших ресторанов или пляжей невозможно из-за отсутствия инфраструктуры — вокруг разбитая дорога и большое расстояние. В заключение, я бы не рекомендовала этот отель тем, кто ценит качество за свои деньги. Отелю требуется обновление, улучшение менеджмента и пересмотр меню в ресторане. Персонал, безусловно, старается изо всех сил и вытягивает отель как может, но этого недостаточно, чтобы поднять общее впечатление от пребывания в отеле.

If you are following the property on social media, you would expect the ultimate paradise and excellent service. While the property itself is really beautiful, especially the over-the-water pier with sun bed bungalows, the rest is average and plain. Rooms: I stayed in a regular room: spacious but not special. No desk, no mosquito net as indicated on the website. There is no “garden” unless you count the properties garden. The room comes with a nice spacious patio, but own no garden. Food: average, no water provided unless purchased. Breakfast is a-la-cart, no fresh fruit offered, coffee is terrible. Both surprising as the Tanzanian coffee is excellent and the property is located in fresh fruit paradise. (All meals were cold between kitchen and table.) Service: The lack of service is a no-go for a supposedly 4-star property and the price requested. Staff doesn’t check-in in your potential needs and you have to go find a person for every item you would like to order. Other: If you settle your bill with credit card, an automatic surcharge of 5% is added. Who carries so much cash with no ATM at the property available? I understand for settlements less than $100 but everything else is extreme. Also note that if you want to book an excursion, you will pay the driver in cash not the hotel. Had I known, I wouldn’t have gone. Since the property does not have an ATM on side, it should be communicated beforehand to plan ahead. Per their own claim on social media, this property is supposedly a 5-star hotel but in reality, it is rated 4-Stars on booking websites - which (personal opinion) is still a stretch. The property can easily be 4-star worthy if they improve food and attentiveness of the staff. Won’t recommend until serious improvements are made.

We stayed at the hotel from March 16th to March 23rd, 2024 in a room with our own pool. Unfortunately, the area around all of the pools is very slippery when it has rained; you have to be careful not to slip. The hotel complex is very nice, although a little dated. At low tide, you can easily access the jetty via a slightly dilapidated staircase into the clean sea. The room could have been decorated a little more lovingly; there were no hooks on the walls; the closet was too small and couldn't be closed. But now for the food: it was delicious, varied with a changing daily report and always freshly prepared. The staff were super friendly and fulfilled our every wish. Ayubu with his funny and courteous manner and Diana deserve special mention. It was our wedding anniversary and they lovingly decorated a table for us and there was also a singing performance by the whole team. 👍 On the day of departure, we were able to stay in the room until the evening for free because we had a night flight.

We stayed at this establishment from 02/07 to 02/11. Everything was perfect, very few people at that time. A big thank you to all the staff for their welcome and availability. This hotel is very quiet. What's great is the suites with private swimming pool: pools 1 to 3. On the restaurant side, everything is prepared once the order is taken. The beach is very pretty!!! The best part is the pontoon with everything you need to relax. Awesome ☀️⛱️️️

This little pearl outside the crowded world is really a paradise to come to rest. The staff is superfriendly, the food is delicious, the interior is really cool and Ibiza-style and the resort is really big but they do not allow many guests so you really have a lot of space at the pool/beachside. They have a petty with which you can walk above the sea and sunbathe in the middle of the sea. Really cool! We really loved the place!
