A tropical, chill, beach vibe to the hotel. Our room with the sea view balcony was really enjoyable. The restaurant (including breakfast) was the best food I have had in Tanzania overall but you quickly run out of new options to eat, so after a few days you gotta start dining out, which is fine as there are options nearby. The pool area (on the restaurant side) was visually pleasing and enjoyable to swim at and lay on the sun beds. The hotel is right on the beach, so you can go for beach walks, reef walks (as there is low tide during the first part of the day) and there is a kitesurfing kiosk right outside. The staff were very friendly. The bar had plenty of drink and cocktail choices. An overall great place to hang out and spend some of your vacation days.

I heard the hotel is planing renovations, that would make it perfect, as some things naturally start to show wear and tear. Like in most places on the island, unless it is a private beach or if the sun beds are on the hotel beach property where their staff and guards are making rounds, there are gonna be merchants - good thing is that there didn't seem to be many stand by merchants, waiting for you to exit the hotel area onto the beach, so occasionally you could get a moment to yourself but some walks were just one seller after another.

The staff were awesome namely, Abdul, Clever, Elizabeth, Edson, Felister, Jacob, Aziza, Johari, Ruth, Neema, Abdi in Jua Restaurant. Also, Jackson, Rashid, Robert, Queen, Jamal at Sunset Pool Bar. Additionally, Adrian, Abdul-Hakim at Japanese Hub. I should also add Hasiya (Housekeeping). Finally, Mabula, Nimrod, Sharon, , Caroline etc. at the Reception Desk. They made our stay worthwhile, very helpful, super funny. We felt we developed a new family and we already miss them BIG!!!

The TV not working properly so we missed out on following up on the progress of the US Campaigns.

We definitely recommend this lodge and looking forward to more future endeavors and hopefully to come back soon. The restaurants are close by the poor is very clean, the white sand beach is beautiful to look at from the lodge. Highly recommend!

I dont like to write a bad review but there is a restaurant in the hotel and I had a meal there on my first evening a few hours later I got a bad food posioning. Maybe a little apology would have been nice as I lost some days of my vacation.
