While the resort is a bit remote, it's definitely worth the schlepp. The rooms are basic but very clean and spacious with great beds and fresh flowers every day. The pool is lovely, overlooking the Indian Ocean and the service is excellent. And the landscaping at the hotel grounds is really nicely done. The food is also good. If you... More

This hotel was exactly what we wanted after trekking up Kilimanjaro. We had 3 wonderful restful days where we were treated like royalty by the very friendly efficient staff. A beautiful setting overlooking the Indian ocean with lovely soft white sand. The food was excellent with Hassain the restaurant manager looking after us well. Our room was clean and comfortable...

The hotel is fairly isolated with its own strip of beautiful white sand beach and within walking distance of the bigger Coconut Beach. It also has a nice pool. Our ride to the hotel was late, but the problem was corrected quickly. The room was big with nice beds and a large bathroom. Tasteful and simple decor. It was great... More

My daughter and I stayed here for three nights in March 2011, obviously an off-season period as there were only a handful of other guests and they had decided to renovate parts of the hotel, including the restaurant.

Of course there is the traditional African service difficulties: Power shortages, ice cream shortages, red wine shortages, etc., but that's a part of the charm in my opinion. As long as the staff...

The staff in the resort is very helpful ans so friendly. The food in the restaurant is excellent. At the reception Nassor Mohammed arrange you all the trips you want to make... More

We recently stayed here to end our trip around Tanzania. Our stay was booked through Zara Tours, of Moshi, and we enjoyed it very much. Our rate through the tour included breakfast and dinner. Ras Michamvi is about an hour out of Stone Town and the main areas but has beautiful and quiet beaches to make up for the drive.... More

What a place! Sure, there were no telephones in the rooms, no TV and the internet did'nt work - but so what. We came out here to relax, as we run our own business and didn't want a hectic nightlife. The people were so attentive. They couldn't do more for you. For three of the seven nights we were the... More

We confirmed our reservation the day before arrival, only to be turned away when we arrived! Even more frustrating, we learned from the manager that they had a group arrive that morning requiring three rooms so they gave away the room reserved for us because they could make more money from the group. They even had my mobile phone number... More
