    The owner and his family were friendly and very helpful. He even helped us organised trips all around zanzibar. The breakfast was also good and diverse. We were always surprised by something different.

    Room was comfortable and clean. It's a sustainable resort so there's no air conditioning but with a ceiling fan. Sea breeze was always welcomed
