This hotel represents the highest quality. Everything is new and well maintained. The villas are spacious and beautifully designed. Still, what makes it really special is the service and people that take care of you there. Thanks to their approach you can really enjoy the holiday knowing that they will remember not only your name but also your individual needs like for example diet. Here I would like to mention our individual assistant Beno who was the perfect organizer of our stay at this hotel. Thanks to him I feel we used every hour of our stay and tried everything we wanted. I recommend this place to everybody who wants to rest away from the crowds.

Staff was really friendly and helpful, always ready to help and they seem like they really cared about the quality of our stay. Rooms were really comfortable and spotless, well-equipped with lots of packing space. Breakfast was nice with a wide variety of local and international options. It was great that we could enjoy all the benefits of the Hotel, only 1 min walk away. Location was great, all sights were max 10 mins walk away

The location is ideal, right in the centre of Stone town, on the beach with a beautiful view of the sunset. One of the few hotels in Stone town with a pool (3 pools to be precise), one of which overlooks the beach. The breakfast was tasty, with a good selection. Rooms were spacious and clean, with good air conditioning.

The rooms and the entire hotel are so beautifully furnished and decorated, not to mention the most pretty bathrooms I've ever seen! The view from the balconies facing the Ocean, the fantastic pool at the very center of the hotel, the hotel's location right on the beach while at the same time with a walking distance to everything you wish to reach in Stonetown. The breakfast was excellent with a broad variety of choices for all tastes, and the staff members are professional and welcoming. We will definitely be back!
