Very calm atmosphere. I felt like at home, very helpful staff, it felt very secure and relaxing.The manager was very helpful and all the staff accommodating. I would recommend this hotel to everyone and would go back myself. This is exactly the kind of hotel that I expected in Zanzibar.
The only thing I would suggest is maybe to serve more fruit for breakfast instead of so many pastries. Also, the food in the restaurant seemed sometimes not to be consistent quality/ size wise. I ordered the same dish a couple of times and each time it was different, for example prawn starter for $11 one day consisted of 3 prawns, another day only 2. The price for such a starter was too high.

The warm welcome from the management and the staff, the peaceful environment, the quality of the facilities, the continuous care for our well being and the availability of equipment. Carolina, the owner, and Grace are very pleasant hosts.
The length of service at the restaurant could be improved. It was quite long overall, from breakfast to dinner. The chef could also put less ginger in many dishes and juices.

This small scale boutique hotel is definitely one of the best places I stayed in years. I spent 8 nights here. It's probably not the cheapest option around, but it was really good value for money. All staff were very friendly, professional and always willing to help out or give advice. The hotel to me felt like coming home. It's a place where you can wind down. No loud music or pool animation, no fuss, just relaxing in a beautiful environment. A perfect place to stay when you’re traveling alone or as a couple.And then the food.. OMG. By far the best food I tasted on the island. Some of the starters and mains were really high level, both in taste and presentation. Again, not the cheapest option around but good value for what you pay. If you’re not staying at this hotel then at least go there for lunch or dinner and try some of the Michelin star worhty starters!The hotel has a small but cosy pool under the trees / in the shade which you will probably have all to yourself, as not many guests use it.Would I go there again? Definitely!

beautiful and charming garden and beach facilities, including restaurant terraces and views. clean. comfortable beds. staff very nice. white sand beach.
pricing of all extras: activities (including massages), low quality wines over priced (compared with several similar charming boutique hotels and even the luxury hotel of Stone Town’s beachfront i won’t mention here…)

First of all, the staff (Meshak, Grace, Victoria, Farida, Stella, Stella, Elisabeth, Erith, Afi, and many more I didn't get the names from) was incredible. Carolina who is running the place was amazing prior to coming with baby crib and communication overall. Everyone was so nice and helped a lot with our one year-old rascal who didn't want to be still during meals by playing with him. They were also always smiling and ready to be of assistance.The resort and facilities is one of the most beautiful i've ever seen. Every detail is well thought out and all is pleasing to the eyes. I loved sitting at breakfast looking out at the beach and the sea. The room was really nice as well and got cleaned everyday. It was also big and had a lot of storage space for bags and a big wardrobe. The pool is beautiful and felt quite private because it was in a secluded part of the resort. There was also a lot of sunbeds by the beach and it was never crowded. Maybe because there weren't many guests at the time but still it would have been airy even if there were more people.The surrounding area is calm and there are a few restaurants up on the main road and on the beach. I have definitely more good things to say than bad and overall most things are truly great! Mainly if you don't have to run after a child all the time which sadly put a small stamp for us on the whole stay.
Okay so most things are really great but I will try and find stuff to improve.The food was a bit uneven in quality. Some days it was really tasty but some days less tasty. Sometimes the dishes were bigger and sometimes smaller. Also, the vegetarian dishes were not really worth the money if you compared it to the meat or fish. For example: An avocado salad (although tasty) should not be a main dish when compared to a fish curry or seared beef. Overall the vegetarian food could be better and could have more options.The communication could also be better between waiters and kitchen. Often dishes were finished but you always found out quite late and at one time a part of a dish was missing because the ingredient was finished and made the dish incomplete and not very tasty. If I had known I would have chosen another dish. Maybe have a staff meeting before meals to see what meals are finished so the guests knows what's available from start. There was also, what I thought to be, an overflow of staff. Probably because of low season but there was always a lot of staff for only us alone and sometimes you had like three waiters during one meal and often it felt like many waiters was standing around waiting for finished plates. Of course I understand that there wasn't much to do at this time but less people in one place would have been more relaxing.If you wanna swim in the sea you have to watch the tide because the sea is often far out. "The beach boys" are a freaking menace and made us wanna avoid the beach altogether. This is not Mvuvi BR's fault but it's this beach you use. It's probably the same on all beaches though but for us a private beach would unfortunately have been preferred.
