    The location here is stunning, especially in the shower area with views of the ocean, and they serve a particularly good breakfast with a huge variety of hot and cold dishes.

    I had a really comfy and snug room that came with its own private bathroom. the staff here were top-notch - super friendly and helpful. 🌅 the fact that this place is right on the beach blew my mind; the views were simply amazing and left me in awe.

    The Island is a truly charming place, perfect for senior people like myself. The decoration is tastefully done, with beautiful local touches that add to the overall ambiance. The general areas of the hotel are easily accessible and well-maintained, making it easy for me to navigate and enjoy the stunning views. The children working there were incredibly helpful and ensured that I had everything I needed throughout my stay.

    While the children working there were extremely attentive and helpful, it would have been even better if there were more options and activities specifically tailored for senior guests.

    Had a peaceful 10 nights here. The location of the property was absolutely perfect and beautiful, especially in the shower area. It was also near Pongwe beach, an amazing bay on the eastern side of Zanzibar, and the hotel's restaurant.

    The beach vibes were off the charts, we had the sickest time chilling by the ocean and soaking up the sun. The Local Spice Farm Tour was insane, we got to see some crazy spices and learn about the local culture. The staff were legends, always there to make sure we were having a blast. Best. Trip. Ever!

    The only bummer was that there wasn't a beach party happening while we were there. It would have been sick to have a wild night of dancing and partying.
