, Tanzania

“The warm welcoming,the appearance and villa space.”

, Qatar

“The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. One of the best we've ever met. Amazing beach views (good swimming at high tide). Villa with private pool is a real treat for families or two couples. Dinners were very good, with a good selection, changing daily. Minor maintenance issues were fixed immediately upon complaint. The whole place is spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained. Rooms are cleaned/serviced twice daily. Other (beautiful!) lunch/dinner options are available about 10 min / 7$ taxi ride away (in Paje or Pingwe). 1 hr drive ($40-50) from airport/Stone Town.”
