You can walk to other restaurants and the beach was safe for walking. Patrols also ensured beach merchants did not get too close. Wifi was spotty at times. Room was comfortable, though sometimes AC would go out due to spotty electricity issues which is all over zanzibar so not the property. A wonderful and easy stay after safari!"

"You get what you pay for. It is close to not so developed areas so you do need to walk around 5 minutes to get to the beach. Food is ok, gym is a joke, a lot of lizards but thats out of their control. Overall not a bad place if your looking for a hotel less than $100 a night,"
