ExcellentAug 20199.2
The relaxing atmosphere, the huge secluded house that we got as a bungalow for two nights given you the sensation to have your own private island. Great snorkeling and strange animals everywhere to discover for the kids... The restaurant is good, the staff and manager are very kind and discreet.
Would have liked to stay longer !!!

Great spot to relax and enjoy the beach. Some of the reviews said the lunches were not good, we found it excellent. Candle light dinner on the beach was really nice
It did get very hot

Well, can’t say much about our stay in this beautiful Island and resort. Everything was so perfect and beautiful. From the breakfast to the dinner, the pool, the staff, the room... for sure that words will not explain enough about our stay there. Plus, they provide to the guests a free boat transport to Stone Town at 10 am and coming back to Chapwani at 13:30, so you have plenty of time to visti the main city and come back again to enjoy this little paradise. Hope to see them all again. Sante

Nice big room and good food. Nice staff.
We were the only people with an airco in the room. Other people were complaining that it was to hot in their rooms. You can't pay with credit card also you have to take a lot of money with you. You almost need a suitcase.

The staff were helpful, especially accepting the right to cancel (stayed 1 night instead of 5).
Please understand that I wish someone had written some warnings before I booked - the Island is called Grave Island for a reason...as there is a sizable C19th graveyard situated close to the beach huts. The huts themselves have no a/c, no TV, no wifi, no fridge, no hot water and are very basic - in fact they don't have electricity as the island generator is only started for a few hours in the morning and evening for the kitchen to prepare food. For the money you would expect some luxury, however the place didn't offer the basics - so after one night I cancelled the rest of the stay
