This resort is a true oasis in Zanzibar, with lush surroundings, intimate bungalows, and exceptional dining experiences. The attention from Domenico and his team made our stay unforgettable. The only downside was that the facilities, though delightful, are limited to a small pool area. Overall, the value for money is fantastic given the quality of the experiences offered.
