Overall, very satisfied with our stay at the Blue Moon Resort. We stayed for 9 nights in the suite with a private pool on a full board basis. On the first day, we arrived at 8:00 am. It was indeed early, but we had to wait until 3:00 pm to be given our room. We were exhausted from a 20-hour trip, and it was frustrating that we couldn't get a room to rest. A hotel should be able to accommodate guests by noon, which is the norm. The website indicated a check-in time of 2:00 pm, but we had to wait an extra hour. For a supposedly luxurious room, it felt a bit outdated. The wardrobe was very small, with doors that didn't close properly (allowing insects to get inside) and not practical for storing long dresses that get wrinkled. The hotel really needs to implement a ventilation system; sometimes, there's an unpleasant smell in the room and the bathroom. Therefore, showering with salty water is really unpleasant. A full-length mirror and more light in the bedroom would also be nice to have... Besides these issues, the mattress is comfortable despite numerous comments suggesting it was a bit firm. The positives of the hotel: it's family-oriented and extremely peaceful. Ideal for those seeking relaxation and a private beach with fewer people. The restaurant is à la carte. The dishes are delicious, fresh, high-quality, and presented very meticulously, something rarely seen in a full board hotel. Hats off to the chefs! The only downside of the restaurant is the time. On average, it takes 1.5 to 2 hours sometimes to have a meal because of the time taken for ordering and preparing the dishes. It's not a big deal in the evening, but it's inconvenient at noon when one wants to make the most of their time. The music is perfect, classy, and not a discotheque atmosphere! (If that's what you're looking for, you should consider Nungwi's hotels). The hotel's cleanliness is impeccable. The staff is very attentive and truly cares about your comfort. We want to thank the waiters for their kindness and responsiveness, with a special thanks to Swahiba! We will probably come back.

Home a week and we miss this hotel so much. From the friendly staff who could never do enough to help and the beautiful surroundings, I don’t know where to compliment first. The room - we were in a garden deluxe room in the new block, it was huge, comfortable and always kept immaculate. Air-con was perfect as we could set the temperature to just the right level. Bed was huge and very comfortable. The restaurants were great with a good selection of foods. Compliments to the chefs who produced great meals every day. Special shout out to the Baha’i restaurant where the food and staff were always amazing. The bars were like little oasis, each with their own vibe and always with a smile and a welcome. The grounds are kept impeccably well and again, the ground staff always had a smile and a ‘jambo’. The trips were well organised, we only did the Stonetown and Prison Island trip but we spoke with other guests who enjoyed some of the other excursions. The whole feel of this resort is to ensure that you are relaxed…..it does this perfectly. There were always loungers somewhere, regardless of where we decided to stop and I can’t finish this review without commenting on the beautiful family of red colobus monkeys which live on the resort. They do not pay much attention to guests but will sit next to you, or on you (as we witnessed) it is such a special sight to have these cute things living alongside you. There have been negative comments about the beach, it is not just an expanse of white sand, there is seaweed grown and farmed by the local ladies and the tide goes out for miles and then comes right in so you can swim straight off the steps of the jetty. We found it amazing. Finally, there were no “beasties”, mosquitoes or anything else that bites…..this is possibly the first holiday anywhere tropical we have been that we haven’t had some sort of bite. The guys on the beach don’t hassle you, they will say hello, ask where you’re from and offer to show you things or sell you things but they are really friendly and understand if you want to be on your own. Oh…..and take a wee trip on the small wooden fishing boats that sit just off the jetty, it’s a wonderful experience sailing along the coast a little.
