    No salient issue to report

    - The room confort (spacious and practically equipped) and the amazing sea view from the balconies, we felt it was a good value for money. - The peaceful location on a discret part of Jambiani (perfect if you are looking for a relaxing trip), pleasant waves sound in evening time. - Quality of the breakfast and the meals in general - Professionalism and kindness of the staff and management, we have always been treated with a smile - Very pleasant hotel design, tastefull decoration, we stayed 4 nights and felt very at ease

    We found paradise in this beautiful accommodation located on the most prestige beach we have ever seen! The staff is incredible and highly professional. They take care of you and are warm hearted and kind. The rooms are big and all have a fantastic view of ocean and pool. The entire accommodation is extremely clean and well maintained. This is the perfect place to relax and unwind and simply enjoy the beauty! Thank you for everything, especially Sifa and Justin ! PS. There are also super cute monkeys hanging around :)

    I did not like he breakfast. I believe in that area they can do better since it is a very manageable for the number of rooms hey have. for the Sense is no ideal and also for swimming in the ocean as the ice are low during the day. Butt for relaxation and walk on the beach its is PERFECT.

    My stay was short but I enjoyed it. The rooms are need and clean. I did love he fact that they did no have loud music so you can really zen out.

    All is fine with the hotel. Is a little bit pricey (compared to other establishments), but it is understandable following the increased rates for accomodation in Zanzibar. All fine and for sure a re-visit is necessary.

    The breakfast was very decent. Even if it was pre-arranged with specific plates all were fresh and cooked on the spot. We even requested on our departure date an early provision and the hotel helped us and opened the kitchen 30-min earlier to assist us.

    Sometimes the wifi can be a bit spotty, but that’s pretty typical for Tanzania, it seems. They have two routers to help with the issue, so I was able to still get some things done, thankfully. The wait time for food after placing an order was a bit long- I waited 30 mins for some masala chips at one point, so just be prepared if you’re hungry.

    It’s a nearly brand-new property, so everything is in great shape. The pool was pristine, the bed comfortable, and the location perfect. The staff was also amazing! The family who owns it stays on site and are super friendly and lovely to talk to. The food was really yummy also! Would absolutely stay here again and look forward to my return!

    Everything! We are very happy with our stay here. This hotel has an amazing view! They are situated on a private little cove. It's so quiet here, it feels like you have the resort all to ourselves. A special shout out to Clyde and family and the staff at Mahi Mahi for taking such good care of us. The room is new and clean, bed is comfy and wifi works well. They clean the room daily which is really nice. The food in the restaurant is really good. You really don't need to go anywhere else. We love watching the tide changes every morning after breakfast and walking the sea bed (must do). You won't get this anywhere else. The sea recedes up to at least 2km. We booked a Dhow cruise from the front desk and it was MAGICAL! When you are on the Dhow sailing the ocean is when you truly appreciate the beauty of Zanzinbar! It's spectacular. It's also easy to walk the beach to nearby resorts and restaurant. Couple of nice bars and restaurants within a 10mins walk. Easy and nice to explore Jambiani. We would totally recommend this hotel.

    Incredible. From the room, with a delightfully comfortable bed, to the staff who were always happy and helpful with anything we wanted, Mahi Mahi made us feel right at home. The beach was mere steps from our room and the pool, beautiful view overlooking the sunrise. Would definitely stay again!

    Only one thing I would advise them, to also get thinner pillows for belly sleepers like my daughter and I. That’s the only thing that could change.

    Everything was exactly as promised in the reviews and shown on the website. This family run hotel does everything to make your stay pleasant, we went shrimp fishing at night, they set up a tent for our son, there was live music. The rooms are beautiful and bliss, with great balconies, the surroundings are overwhelming, so incredibly pretty with these giant differences in tides, pictures you have never seen before. The swimming pool area is great, and when it rains you can still sit outside in the restaurant area.

    The whole team here was great, the family that owns and operates this hotel is extremely friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Joseph, Aaron, Brandon, and Clyde are all great, and Sifa, the general manager, is an absolute star. The restaurant staff are also fantastic, in particular Gordi, who took very good care of us and made sure we were comfortable. The whole team was super flexible and went above and beyond to make us feel right at home and no request was too troublesome or inconvenient for them. Thank you to the entire team for including my friends and I in the Mahi Mahi family!

    Would have been a 10 out of 10, but to be fair to other travelers coming a few things to note. Water was not hot every morning, we enquired and were told that the geyser needs to switched off after use and back on 15min before use again. This practice never really work. Finally, breakfast options were a bit scant and is a bit disappointing in comparison to the great food the restaurant was capable of. Maybe a rethink of the current options as the only real worthwhile option was the Buddha bowl? Otherwise nothing to complain about.

    Wonderful stay. Can’t complain, as my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the accomodation, the beautiful and secluded beach on the doorstep, the lunch/dinner menu options, privacy, silence and comfort. Shoutout to the chefs (Freddie and the shy lady, can’t remember her name) as the food was the best we’ve ever had on a holiday in any country - outstanding quality, flavor and fresh ingredients. Perfect place for a quiet getaway with some of the most accommodating and friendliest hosts we’ve encountered. Come here if if your plan is to relax and enjoy the beautiful blue ocean and serenity. We will be back.
