Could Improve

–Some rooms/bathrooms feel outdated and in need of upgrade
–Occasional mixed service experiences (arrogant reception, isolated ignoring incident)
–Slightly far from city centre for some guests
–One mention of food dissatisfaction (isolated)

Cleanliness9.6

Multiple reviews explicitly state the hotel is 'clean' or 'modern and clean', indicating strong housekeeping and room cleanliness.

Service9.3

Predominantly very positive: staff repeatedly described as friendly, hospitable and helpful (named staff praised). There are isolated negatives about reception being arrogant and one report of being ignored at the egg station, so service is rated slightly below top marks.

Location9.5

Consistently praised for beachfront location, direct sea access and proximity to the airport (~15 minutes). A few guests note it is a bit distant from city centre, but overall location is a strong asset.

Room Quality8.7

Mixed feedback: several guests enjoyed well-equipped apartments with good amenities, Wi‑Fi and sea views, while others noted outdated bathrooms, worn beds and a temporary extra bed—indicating room quality varies and needs some upgrades.

Amenities9.6

Many mentions of strong amenities: pool, sun beds, hammocks, 4‑poster/swinging beds, good Wi‑Fi, airport shuttle and well-equipped rooms (hairdryer, iron, safe).

Value for Money9.2

Overall good value noted (one review explicitly praises price), with high-quality breakfast and facilities supporting a positive value perception; minor room-upgrade comments temper a perfect score.

Food and Beverage9.7

Very strong consensus on food: numerous glowing mentions of breakfast ('wow' factor), excellent dinner buffet and specific dishes praised. Only isolated, vague critique of 'food.'

Overall Experience9.6

Overall sentiment is highly positive—headlines like 'Great', 'Exceptional', 'Fabulous' and many recommendations. A small number of mixed reviews prevent a perfect aggregate.

Superb hotel

Liked:Beautiful hotel with beautiful beach. Room was lovely and bed was super comfortable

Disliked:Not many sunbeds for such a big hotel. Nothing nearby so if you want to shop or eat out you need to get a cab. We were there for two days at the end of a busy holiday so that suited us perfectly.

Liked:First of all the people,from the moment we step in till last minute. Everyone was asking if we are on or need anything. Reception is in high level and always with so beautiful smile. The hotel has plenty amenities and is so clean... you even walk in the balcony and feel no dust. Food is also excellent! I really recommend it , 100% the best in stone town and near to center. Hope we return there sometime...p.s nicest view from room and pool🥰🥰🥰

Disliked:Everything was perfect 👌
