    Beautiful beach and the resort looks like a postcard. Nice and cozy like a small boutique guesthouse. Breakfast is really good and satisfying. The restaurant is small with everyday changingmenu. It is a little bit pricey comparing to other resorts / returants, But you can stay there and walk a few meters to near by restaurants and there are plenty.

    Such a great place with such great hosts! Ralu and Lee made sure we had everything we needed and gave us a lot of information about Jambiani and the Island in its whole. We loved our stay as the room was spacious and the outdoor kitchen and hammock made it even better. Thank you again for everything hope to come back very soon !!

    It‘s a wonderful place to relax and enjoy Zanzibar. The owners Denisa & Valentin are such great hosts, the staff is super friendly, the food amazing (they have also vegetarian options), the rooms beautiful, the bed big and comfy. This boutique hotel is a real paradise where you don‘t want to leave.
