Pool is utilised as a leisure centre for locals. No hot water, toilet and telephone to reception didn’t work. Balcony doors would not lock. Food was average.

We did enjoy the quite of the resort and staff. Anthony and his team in hospitality where excellent for what they had to work with. The Chef and Anthony created a wonderful meal for us on the waterfront viewing the sunset. Magnificent! The waterfront suites where comfortable and rustic island style. We had a nice rest. Thank you.

We were a bit sceptical about the resort at first due to previous reviews. However it was a great 10 day stay for us. The food was lovely, couldn’t get enough of the prawns. The room with the sea view was amazing. The staff were great, thank you Maria you made our stay very comfortable. If you need some where close to the airport and 5min away from Stone town then I recommend Zanzibar beach resort.

Resort has alot of potential but needs upgrades. Water pressure was low and breakfast was not good for 30,000 TSH. Resturant options was limited, but the grill prawns was good. Staff was friendly and very helpful.

Warning- Do not book here! Forfiet your money if you already paid. This place will destroy your vacation mood. It is under new managemrent from India who refused to take the calls from expedia to discuss my refund so I had to take 3 calls from Expedia saying he would not answer the phone. Should be closed during construction and possibly condemed. You arrive to the entire lobby fenced off with mesh the entire floor is gone. You walk over a bridge water feature but no water is on it. The water fountain going to restaurant is cracked with no water. The pool is merky and with the red light at night looks OMINOUS! WE WERE BITTEN BaDLY BY BEDBIGS! There are muddy trenches dung all over the lawn. The day bed was filthy. They locked beach access because they said it is dangerous. The website implies there is beach access. The water has local fisherman and looks very commercial and looks uninviting.

Not worth it at all, food is expensive but poor quality and not fresh. Staff are unprofessional and the property is old and following apart. The worth thing is, seems like the owners don’t care about the place.
