The hotel rooms are functional with a balcony garden and sea view, but you may have to deal with annoying flying bugs. My room was in the furthest block from the hotel, just a few minutes walk away. It was spacious but looked a bit tired.

The staff were friendly and always ready to help, except for a few instances where they were overheard gossiping in Swahili. However, professionals like Rahul, Said, Muhammad, and Deborah were helpful and welcoming in all service areas.

The hotel is centrally located, close to Stone Town and the airport, with beautiful views and access to a top-tier golf course. However, it may feel a bit remote from the main public areas.

The dining experience was decent, but it's better to avoid staying when there's a wedding party at the resort. The food was okay, not quite 5-star quality.

I want to give a huge shoutout to Alfredo, Sophia, Hassan, Siku, Rosie, Waziri, Asia Cashier, Asia, and Kelvin – thank you for making our stay special. The room was immaculate and well apportioned with a large comfortable bed, fridge, electronic safe, a good bathroom, and a nicely furnished terrace which overlooked the gardens and sea. However, the room had a musty and damp smell, and the decor seemed dull with yellowish mosquito nets with holes and a dusty blanket that needed changing.
