  + Cleanliness and having the ocean view as you wake up, and the entertainment at night

  − It was claustrophobic, no proper beach, the theme nights limited the food i was expecting. The golf course was meant to be epic but the amount of rubbish lying on the beach holes was really bad. The jetty being so underutilised was disappointing, it would have been great to have drinks on there.

  Lovely resort and facilities, but ask what you get in the all inclusive package before booking

  + Beautiful location. Resort sits atop a cliff overlooking the ocean. Staff are great. Always ready to help Rooms are small but clean to the highest standard Facilities are amazing. Pickleball, tennis, mini golf, tabletennis, pool tables, kayaking, nursery for kids. They even have horse riding and motorised watersports for an additional fee. Although watersports can be done only during the high tide, which is a few hours in the morning and a few hours before sunset. Had to leave the resort at 230am to catch the 530am flight, they were kind enough to pack breakfast for us. We loved the peace and quiet here, compared to the popular tourist destinations like nungwi

  − Crows in the dining area are a menace. We bought the all inclusive package, but was a bit disappointed with it because its not actually "all inclusive" as they advertise on booking.com. only a limited range of drinks are included in this package. The "premium drinks" as they called it are not included. Same goes with the food. Firstly we expected a buffet for all meals. But this wasn't the case for lunch. We were given the a la carte menu and asked to select a main course. Even on the a la carte menu The "premium" dishes such as the prawns, lobster and beef steak were not included in the "all inclusive" package. Overall we felt a bit cheated with this all inclusive deal that they advertise when clearly its not.

  + 1. The hospitality in Tanzania is top notch. Always amazing hospitality. The staff are just amazing. The check in was so smooth and easy. You sit in the lounge and they check you in while you watch the beautiful scenery. 2. The hotel is amazing, it has got everything you need. If you don't want to leave the hotel and just do activities, you got it. Golf, mini golf, tennis, kayak, horse riding(Land & water), swim in the ocean, beach relax and many more. 3. The food is great. Lots of options. Healthy options and all you need. You get a good show after your dinner. Different entertainment every night. At least the nights we were there. 4. The deluxe view room is so relaxing, just watching the ocean from your room. 5. I will recommend the hotel as I plan to come back for another stay with friends. 6. The gym was not too bad compared to other hotel. Used it and had everything to keep you going.

  − Nothing
