Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
The room and venue were nice and as expected. Unfortunately the service did not keep up. They rely heavily on the butler service for the Start of the East part of the resort, however we found that our butlers were unresponsive and uncommunicative. We had planned to spent three relaxing days at the resort, however, most of our time was spent trying to figure out how to order food and how to find the facilities. The management was receptive to our issues and is working through a partial solution.

Wonderful family stay
My 8 year old and husband and I stayed here for 11 nights. Everything was as expected, and in some cases exceeded expectations. The villa is roomy, and plenty of space for privacy. The staff is incredibly friendly and eager to help sort out any problems. They taught us some swahili and really helped us feel comfortable and welcomed. We needed electrical tape to mend a frayed computer cord and that was provided quickly - so impressed. Our room was always cleaned well, and often with decorative surprises, even for my child's bed. The food was kind of hit or miss. Some of it was outstanding, but other times, really not good. We never starved though, and you are spoiled for choices so if something doesn't work out, just order something else! The service down at the beach was very good and we loved having the private beach and sun loungers. I would not have stayed at this property without that amenity! The only downside, which is VERY minor is that the private pool is more like a wading pool - it's only about 2 feet deep and the resort itself is a long drive from from doing excursions elsewhere. If you want to do those, I'd recommend staying for several nights in Stone Town and do them from there. Shopping is much better there too. Overall, we had a very good stay and I would definitely go back.

This hotel needs updating!
I had wanted a non- smoking standard room and when I went into the room it was so smokey and was not at all what I was expecting! So the manager switched my room but made me pay more for it. The pool area was nice and the people that worked at the attached restaurant/bar were very friendly.

Nice place to stay.
I have been going to this Hotel for about four years in a row... I like the fact that its at the end of the Hollywood Boardwalk. Close enough walk tothe shopping and Bandshell. But far enough away so you can spend a quiet romantic evening on the beach.... There is also multiple restaurants and stores at the hotel...
