Liked: Cleanliness
It was clean. Unfortunately it was a bit noisy. We were on the road side. It is a bit dated but very spacious. It is located on the other side of stone town. Quite a ways from the airport. It took over an hour during rush hour. The food was amazing!

The resort is perfect for a quick stay. Not long term. The breakfast didn’t have many options. The staff were really nice and very helpful. Room service was ok the best thing we had was the chicken wings. They also offered late check out for an extra cost which was great because we had a late flight.

The customer service of the staff in restaurant and front desk is outstanding. The housekeeping is great with the cleaning. The maintenance of bathroom is not adequate because the sink faucet is falling apart in room 204.
Safe is not secured or bolted down.
It is falling over.

The staff were friendly and very helpful. We liked that it was in a quiet area about 15 min to Stone Town by taxi. The room was large and we enjoyed the pool that looked out over the ocean. Buffet breakfast offered a variety of dishes and the coffee was awesome! We really enjoyed our stay.

hotel is beautiful, rooms are great and the staff is excellent (perhaps some English language weakness BUT nothing significant). Area around the hotel is not super walkable BUT it is not far from Stone Town (20 minute taxi ride - US$10 to US$20). View from top floor restaurant is amazing and the food is pretty good. I would recommend highly. i would stay here again.
