Best place to stay when you’re in Zanzibar! Quiet, secluded and best views of the Indian Ocean!

Beautiful hotel on the beach at the north end of Zanzibar. This beach was quieter than the west side of Nungwi. Less "beach boys" hassling you on the beach.
Suzanne, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Incredible views, friendly staff but bad services
5 Stars: the view was amazing. The staff extremely friendly and helpful. Rooms very clean! 4 stars: Location. Restaurant food was delicious. 3 Stars: price for the room was reasonable. 2 Stars: drinks at the bar were very watered down. 1 Star: horrrible spa facility. I stopped my massage after 20 minutes because the masseuse was that bad. It was supposed to be a deep tissue massage and ended up being a horrible massage. Every service here is designed to overcharge you. The laundry service was too expensive. You can get wayyy cheaper taxis and tours if you book outside of the hotel. Late check out is $10 an hour. Overall, this is not a bad place to stay at as long as you don’t get any of the hotel’s services. It felt like they prioritized profit over comfort for guests. If you stay here, book all your needs elsewhere and you’ll have a good time at the hotel.

Good stay, correct, some rooms could use a modern side up but overall ok ! Staff is just the best !
Giuseppe, 9-night trip

6/10 Good

This will not be a repeat visit for me. It started with the front desk. Instead of a warm welcome we were greated with "passports?" The rooms were clean but dated. The free breakfast extremely lacking in variety and flavor. The paid food was decent but overpriced for the area. Hard mattresses. Some of the staff, the women, were great and friendly. We did one onsite excursion with a sunset Dhow cruise which was overcrowded and expensive. The cost of this place is definitely not worth it.
Roy, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

A pleasant if overpriced option
Deluxe room was more of a suite with separate kitchen area, bathroom & bedroom, Large balcony with both chairs and a twin hammock. Not plush by European standards but quite nice anyway. AC was great, wifi was good, food was good. A couple of silly rules, IE outside drinks will be confiscated but a nice stay.

We stayed here for 5 nights. Its a ti min walk to sentral Nungwi. This place is great , its a good place to relax We stayed in the family superior room seaview, this is a big room with a Nice balcony with seaview. The bed is really hard but it was ok for a few nights for us. The staff was great , thanks to Andrew in the bar , he is great.

Our cottage was clean with good hot water and A/C. It was a quiet location on the beach. Food was good. The aquarium where you can swim with sea turtles in a natural lagoon is across the road. I enjoyed the hammocks on the property. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Great value for money
I sent with my family and need two rooms, which we got in a shared appartment. Really nice and big rooms with privat bathroom and toilet. A great place. But a big minus was a generator right besides our room which was really noisy, and the water in the bath was only hot and almost mon existing … besides this … we really enjoyed our stay, great location, nice staff, great service, great breakfast … so 4,5 stars … and value for money.
Ninna Bo, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice staff, beautiful location but food for breakfast is not up to the cattiness of the location. Also restaurants price is a bit higher if I compare to other surroundings restaurants and average prices internationally

4/10 Fair

Over all not so good
Very nice scenery and nice design of the landscape. But I was met by s cockroach when I stepped in the room. The power went out every day for 1-2 hours and it was not always the hotel wanted to turn on the generator. I got food poisoning at dinner. The hammock infornt of the cottage was nice.

Fantastiskt
Fantastiskt fint!! Utmärkt Service!! Stor eloge till Andrew en fantastisk man som gjorde vår upplevelse så mycket bättre. Sjukt hjälpsamma och trevliga människor, allihopa! Sjukt vacker utsikt över vattnet och skön pool. Bekvämt rum men en hel del insekter dock. Mycket myror och djur som var överallt i rummet. Viktigt att sova med draperiet på så det inte kryper upp något i sängen. Det enda negativa i princip. Annars riktigt fint och mysigt ställe

Fantastiskt julfirande på Mnrarani
En vistelse över förväntan. Vid högvatten var det perfekt hav att bada i. Poolen och de gemensamma utrymmena var mycket fräscha. Rummet i huset med hängmattor var helt perfekt för oss. Mindre problem åtgärdade hotellet direkt. Maten i restaurangen vart typisk hotel standard för området, fräscht och gott men inte särskilt spännande. Ett stenkast bort finns den fantastiska restaurangen Aluna. Enskilt läge, men ändå bara 5minuter promenad till centrala delar och 15min promenad till större stränder.
