The hotel was chosen taking into account: authenticity, to feel the island, and we succeeded. The location of the hotel relative to the island is in the middle, which means that all excursions can be reached quickly and conveniently. The hotel has its own luxurious area surrounded by flowers, palm trees, trees, the type of food is "all inclusive" and, importantly, the price of the hotel.

The hotel was chosen taking into account: authenticity, to feel the island, and we succeeded. The location of the hotel relative to the island is in the middle, which means that all excursions can be reached quickly and conveniently. The hotel has its own luxurious area surrounded by flowers, palm trees, trees, the type of food is "all inclusive" and, importantly, the price of the hotel.
The hotel rooms are, as usual, quite basic. The simplest category of rooms comes with a four-poster bed, shower, air-conditioning mirror, desk, soap and shower gel. The family rooms already have a TV and a refrigerator, an extra room with beds for children. Cleaning was done every day, for a dollar they decorated the sheets or towels on the bed with flowers and various frills. Cleaned well, soap and gel is not replenished. Towels are fresh every day, there were no complaints about the room and cleaning. Plumbing in working order, hot water is always. Mini bar is not provided. This is understandable, a 3 * hotel.
Meals: no frills, simple but very tasty, everything is always fresh, the only thing was no milk, yogurt, cheese. The pastries are delicious and varied: various pies, croissants, pancakes, pancakes, seafood were: fish, squid, octopus. From meat: chicken, beef, pork. Fruits: watermelon, small bananas, pineapple, mango, papaya, passion fruit, dates, breadfruit. Very tasty juices.
The hotel has two swimming pools. There are simulators, two tennis tables - take rackets.
During the day, water aerobics is very incendiary. Show program every evening.
And most importantly the OCEAN. Very educational coast. The tides are amazing. There is something to see and something to observe. On the new moon (we got there) there are very strong ebbs and flows, then everything changes and the water doesn’t leave like that anymore. There are places to swim. In the morning, before breakfast, there is practically always water (a lot), and water also comes at 3-4 hours. Water does not leave instantly, this process is gradual. The low tide starts, for example, at 8 and somewhere else until 10:30 you can swim. It's very exciting and interesting.
There are algae. The hotel tries to clean them with a tractor, but this is nature and this is AFRICA, this must be taken into account. Algae is found on all the beaches of Zanzibar. The price tag of the resort also depends on this.
Free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel. At the reception there is a souvenir shop that sells hygiene products for women, shampoos, gel / shower, corrals, sunscreen.
On the beach, from the hotel to the right, there is a fish restaurant and souvenir shops, tunics and long-sleeved shirts for $10. Excursions ordered from the beach-boys on the beach. They speak tolerably Russian and English. Everything is clear, the prices are lower than those of the operators, the good guys Abdul and the low Haji. I recommend. They traveled all over the island. Everyone looked.
There is a UROA village nearby, be sure to go and see the local life and flavor. You can bring sweets for children, some things (you can even use them).

Traveled with my wife and 6 year old child. Good hotel for a 3. The food is normal, always fresh and tasty pineapple, watermelon, passion fruit, dates, mango, papaya. Seafood - only fish, like tuna, and crabs in pasta. There is no TV or fridge in the room. There is a conder, without it it's not real, it's always on.

Traveled with my wife and 6 year old child. Good hotel for a 3. The food is normal, always fresh and tasty pineapple, watermelon, passion fruit, dates, mango, papaya. Seafood - only fish, like tuna, and crabs in pasta. There is no TV or fridge in the room. There is a conder, without it it's not real, it's always on. The heat is just. . . A lot of humidity, always a sauna feeling. Stock up on a good sunscreen, dishish ones do not help, burn instantly, it is better to walk in long sleeves and even swim in them. A room for 3 people will do, a bed, a shower, hot water, a bidet, what else do you need. . .
Why we went: for the beach and the ocean. The beach is very dirty, there are a lot of algae everywhere, they are simply grown here. There are a lot of them at low tide. When the tide is in, they swim in the water and lie at the bottom, I don’t really swim, I wanted clean water and a clean bottom, there’s nothing like that here. The low tides are large twice a day, the time of low tide and high tide is always different. You can't swim 24/7. The water in the ocean is comfortable, even very comfortable, in the evening, just hot, not even pleasantly hot. In the pool, the water is always comfortable, you can not climb out. Vacationers are 100 percent from Russia. There are not very many people.
In general, if you are going for a beach holiday, I do not recommend choosing beaches in the Kendwa or Nungwi area, there seems to be no algae, the water is clear and turquoise like in the Maldives and there are no such large low tides. Very long flight, from Kyiv 10 hours. There is no food on the plane. Stock up. At the airport, everything is very long and slow, the procedure is about an hour or more. There are no air conditioners, it's hot and stuffy. It took over an hour to get from the airport to the hotel by bus. Upon arrival at the hotel immediately take the tax on accommodation. $1 per person per day. There were three of us, for seven days it turned out to be 21 dollars, if you don’t pay, they won’t settle, although the Compass tour operator said before the flight that you don’t need to pay anything extra on the spot.
In short, if the beach and the sea, then not here, or Kendwa or Nungwi, but it's more expensive there, or another resort... There are no complaints about the hotel!

I stayed at this hotel in October. I went to Africa for the first time and I will say that the hotel really impressed me and exceeded my expectations! . The manager immediately offered me to see this holiday destination, instead of the usual Turkey and Egypt, and I am very grateful to her for that! The flight and transfer were excellent, support from departure to return.

I stayed at this hotel in October. I went to Africa for the first time and I will say that the hotel really impressed me and exceeded my expectations! . The manager immediately offered me to see this holiday destination, instead of the usual Turkey and Egypt, and I am very grateful to her for that! The flight and transfer were excellent, support from departure to return. At the hotel I was struck by the territory - not very big, but all in greenery, very well-groomed and beautiful. Sufficiently large pool, sun loungers, beach. . The staff at the reception knew their stuff, settled quickly and without problems. The room is nice, simply furnished but everything you need is there. Bed, table, chair, mirror, wardrobe. Safe, fan, air conditioner. The lack of a refrigerator and TV did not upset at all. But I was pleased with the wooden balcony with furniture, surrounded by greenery and with a beautiful view. Large bathroom with clean towels, soap and shampoo. Cleaned well in the room. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, the service is excellent. Animation - here is a separate huge plus - very interesting show programs every day, thank you very much for the mood! The food here is very good. Breakfasts with omelettes, fruits, vegetables, yogurts, pastries, juices and more. Lunches with soups, pasta, side dishes, various salads and vegetables, sweets. Well, dinners have always been quite diverse, every day something new appeared on the menu (seafood, fish). The beach is nice, beautiful, clean water. There were algae, but they were regularly cleaned. I actually had a great rest, even forgetting that I was in a 3 * hotel. A very comfortable and enjoyable stay. I recommend!
