“The rooms have light intrusion problems and heating disorder that affect the quality of your staying - at 400$ a night it’s a scam. Avoid going.”

“Location was great for enjoying the beautiful views and relaxing, soaking up the atmosphere so close to the beautiful sea, and crisp white sandy beach. Hotel staff were friendly, helpful and great selection of delicious food was perfect. Peaceful, tranquil and relaxing. Walking to distance to nearby town and beaches for a bit of local hustle and bustle, otherwise perfect for getting away from it all.”
Great beachside boutique hotel

“Stayed here for 5 nights beachside 'R&R' at the end of a safari and beach holiday in South Africa and Zanzibar. This is a small boutique hotel, 19 rooms in a mix of modern blocks and thatched 'shacks' in lovely gardens at the edge of a shallow cliff overlooking a quiet part of Nungwi beach. We had a 'Love Shack' right on the sandy seafront with our own sunbeds and a terrace great for watching the sea, drinking 'happy hour' cocktails and at night watching the hermit crabs on the sand. Wooden steps nearby led onto the actual beach, depending on the tides you could either go 'rockpooling' (the adventurous could wade out to a reef a couple of hundred metres out), have a warm swim (before breakfast if tides right), beachwalk or watch the waves breaking on the cliff. Idyllic. The hotel provides beach shoes as there's sea urchins and some sharp rocks. Walking left takes you into Nungwi main beach, lots of fishing boats, and local activity, you can get hassled for trips, hawkers, etc, but nowhere near as persistent as some countries we've been to. Turn right for the quieter life. Pool is quite small but a nice area with sunbeds and beach bar. The room was quirky, natural finishes but spotlessly clean, huge bed with open bathroom behind, the modern blocks were more 'conventional'. We stayed half board and the meals were great, different breakfast menu each morning with fresh fruit; 5-course dinner, the best were very good. Pool bar did snack lunches which were fine for us. The staff were all fantastic, friendly and attentive, always smiling, and very efficient. Housekeeping worked hard to keep the rooms clean and back each evening to turn down beds and open out the mozzie nets. The local sustainability initiatives and support of education of local children looked excellent though selling plastic water bottles in the bar and restaurant didn't sit entirely well with that. Nonetheless, a really fantastic place to stay, we thoroughly enjoyed it and a great, characterful alternative to the larger all-inclusive resorts.”
