The location is naturally exquisite. Even snorkeling is quite good and the cabanas are basic but have nice views, are large and airy. The downsides at the time I was there included: terrible selection of foods, mostly fried or boiled unidentifiable seafood with a vinerary flavor.

The trip from Dar Es Salaam to Quilalea was smooth and the helicopter transfer was great. On the island we had Villa 4... More

Nothing can take away from the natural beauty of Quilalea. That said, if it is unadulterated luxury you are looking for you may be disappointed. Arriving by helicopter was amazing and a real plus and we were greated with smiles by the staff. Management was changing hands which may account for the lack of a clear identity to the staffing....

The rooms are in typical African... More
