You get what you pay for, an economical resort, the exclusive beach is ugly, you can only see the jelly sea at high tide around 2pm, the massage is 170 RMB per hour, if you tip, you can unlock the happy ending, the food is average but the price is as low as the farmhouse in Beidaihe, Qinhuangdao, the service is very good in black Africa, it is only six kilometers to the lonely restaurant, but it costs 200 RMB to take a taxi, because this place is too remote, it takes a long way to drive from the city, and the car is still empty when going back, most of the guests are hairy Chinese, there are also local rich black people, few Chinese come to live here

Just came down from Kilimanjaro, very tired, definitely booked a hotel away from the hustle and bustle of the city, met a lot of European friends, the hotel's Marseille brothers patrol at night, full of security, hotel staff are all very friendly and polite, highly recommended

The service was excellent, especially the lady at the front desk, friendly and welcoming! The garden-style exterior, clean and tidy, right on the beach! The restaurant by the sea is a great spot for sunrise viewing!

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour sur ce site magnifique. La taille humaine du club nous a séduit ainsi que les soirées à thème de bon goût. L’endroit est calme (le chemin qui mène à l’hôtel peut surprendre) mais une fois sur place, la vue de l’accueil est magique. La cuisine est variée et de qualité, on ne peut déplorer que les guêpes qui s’invitent au petit déjeuné. Tout est fait pour qu’on s’y sente bien et le personnel est vraiment chaleureux et accueillant, à l’image des habitants de Zanzibar. Les massais qui gère la sécurité amène un certain folklore et on peut observer sur place la variété de singes emblématiques de l’île durant le séjour.

Superbe petit hôtel..30 bengalows repartis dans un magnifique jardin..très calme..magnifique vue sur la baie de Chwaka.. Tout etait parfait:la gentillesse et la disponibilité du personnel,les repas,les cocktails.. Mention+++pour le bar sur pilotis devant la mer.. Alors oui il y a des marees et à certaines heures de la journée il n y a plus d eau..mais tout cela a son charme.. 2 ème mention pour les massais.qui sont en charge de la sécurité de l hôtel et quel plaisir de danser avec eux lors de la soirée qui leur est réservée. Nous avons adoré cette destination et cet hôtel loin des usines à touristes. Superbe semaine.. Merci à tout le personnel ..ainsi qu à nos 3 animateurs Farid,inno,et Iddi..toujours dispos Ce voyage restera longtemps dans nos souvenirs. ..

Chambre face à la mer / piscine, confortable, personnel aux petits soins, cadre sympa. Nosu avons passé deux nuits superbes même si quelques améliorations au niveau de la piscine seraient intéressantes (état des transat et de l'espace jeux enfants) ainsi que la communication des activités / du programme de la journée (si vous ne regardez pas l'heure on ne vient pas vous prévenir). Un remerciement particulier aux masais de l'hôtel qui ont vraiment été très sympa, leur disponibilité pour jouer avec les enfants remarquable et dont les conversations étaient très enrichissantes (merci et bonjour à Robert) !
