Déçu
A notre arrivée, la chambre avec vue sur mer avait en fait vue sur le mur d’un autre bungalow. Il va pas été possible de trouver un arrangement sui nous convenait et il y a une erreur sur votre site selon ce que nous a répondu l’hôtel.
Voici la vue de notre chambre : la soit disant « vue mer » telle que c’était énoncé lorsque nous avions réservé. Je précise qu’il n’était pas question d’une vue partielle, encore que même dans ce cas, ce serait un mensonge !

Die Hotelanlage ist super gepflegt. Die Villen sind modern ausgestattet und geräumig und vor allem super sauber! Das ganze Team ist super freundlich und stets gut gelaunt. Abseits der großen hotelanlagen findet man hier die Erholung, die man braucht. Der Strandabschnitt ist ruhig und sehr schön! 100% weiterempfehlen! War das beste Hotel, dass wir auf Sanzibar besucht haben und hat sogar 5 Sterne Hotels weit hinter sich gelassen.

Vidunderligt sted
Boede på Kisiwa 8 dage. Alt var meget høj standard. Store rene værelse med gode senge. Velholdt udendørsområde og dejlig stor pool. Rigtigt god restaurant med dagligt varierende menu af meget høj kvalitet. Personalet var de venligste og mest imødekommende med masser af overskud og humor. Hotellet ligger i et meget roligt område uden trafik eller støj af nogen som helst art. Stranden lige ud for hotellet er formidabel. Ved lavvande kan man vandre meget langt ud over sandbankerne, og ved højvande kan bade helt tæt op af hotellet. Helt fantastisk. Vi kommer tilbage!
