Our stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable, with stunning beachfront views and well-maintained gardens. The staff went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. The rooms were spacious and clean, though we faced some initial challenges with accessibility. Dining options were plentiful, and while the main restaurant was good, I found some dishes a bit repetitive. Overall, it was a lovely holiday, but a few tweaks could enhance the experience even further.

I had a lovely stay overall, with stunning beachfront views and spacious accommodations that really made the trip enjoyable. The staff were amazing and took care of everything, but the dining options were a bit lacking, especially after a few meals. I expected more variety given the hotel's standard, and not being able to book reservations at the a-la-carte restaurants was disappointing. The beach location cannot be beaten, absolutely beautiful!

The hotel offers a beautiful setting with stunning gardens and well-presented staff, but the dining experience was disappointing and I encountered several billing issues. Although the rooms, particularly the suites, are comfortable with great ocean views, the overall management and service at the resort seem lacking, affecting the entire experience.

Unfortunately, the dining options were not up to par, with only one a la carte restaurant available most nights and the food quality being mediocre at best.

The hotel grounds are well-maintained and visually appealing, but the amenities didn't meet the expectations set by the resort's five-star claims.

I had a wonderful stay at the resort, where the luxurious ambiance and beautiful beach made for an unforgettable experience. The rooms were spacious and well-furnished, though some were a bit far from the main amenities. The dining options were diverse and generally delicious, with a few hits and misses, particularly at one of the a la carte restaurants. While the service was outstanding overall, the experience varied at times due to changes in management oversight. Overall, this resort is a fantastic option for a relaxing getaway.

The resort is situated at the northern tip of the island, which offers stunning beaches but makes it over an hour's drive to Stone Town. This is beautiful but limits accessibility to some attractions.
