After a little tour of the island hitting busy Stonetown and overly touristy Nungwi, this was JUST what we needed - an actual taste of the tropical island paradise we had wanted from Zanzibar. I am so glad we spent the longest time here in comparison to other places. The rooms are perfect - we stayed in a studio - i imagine the villas to be even better, but we had everything we needed and more. The food was the best we had on the island. Truly delicious! The grounds are magical - so lush and green and the pool is beautiful, with comfy loungers and a great hammock.
As other reviews state, there is not a typical 'beach' for sunbathing/swimming, however, the resort offers free transport to another beach 5mins away. We loved the mangrove style beach with its rockpools and we enjoyed several walks along to the other resorts on rocky outcrop - lots of wildlife to be seen - so peaceful and brought out the kids in us we explored. I could not recommend this place enough!
