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!

Extrem guter Service und perfekte Anlage. Für uns, die perfekte Größe - nicht zu groß, sondern privat gehalten, mit ca. 20 Villen. Die Villen sind perfekt ausgestattet und lassen keine Wünsche offen, man fühlt sich durch die Liebe zum Detail sofort wohl. Das Badezimmer ist groß, sehr gut ausgestattet und top gepflegt. Schöner Pool und toller Strandabschnitt. Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal, egal ob Empfang, Management, Kofferboy, Poolboy oder Service - wirklich alle sind extrem nett und serviceorientiert. Das Essen bei Halbpension war in Qualität und Quantität sehr hochwertig, abwechslungsreich und einfach sehr lecker. Bei Honeymoon muss man leider telefonisch buchen, online wurde bei uns auch mit Zertifikat für ein Arrangement nicht anerkannt, das war schade. Die Anlage ist top gepflegt, der Spabereich und Fitnessbereich ebenfalls. Mit etwas Glück kann man morgens die kleinen Affen aus dem Wald sehen.

Magnifique hôtel ! Pas de bâtiment seulement des petites villas pour chacun. L’endroit et paradisiaque. Calme absolu ! Personnel très sympa, discret, aux petits soins. Une intention particulière aux employés qui ont participé à ma surprise d’anniversaire. Mille fois merci ! Séjour inoubliable. Allez-y les yeux fermés c’est encore mieux que sur photo. La plage est magnifique et personne ne vous accoste pour vous vendre quoi que ce soit contrairement aux autres plages. Détente et sérénité ... merci encore

Wir verbrachten 5 Nächte mit Halbpension als Paar in dem Hotel.Zunächst das Positive: Zimmer groß und sauber, Service nett, Pool mit Meerblick schön groß, Liegen am kleinen aber feinen Strandabschnitt direkt davor super zum relaxen. Trotzdem würden wir dieses Hotel wohl nicht mehr buchen. Das liegt vor allem am Essen dort und wahrscheinlich weil wir in schöneren aber preislich kaum unterschiedlichen Hotels an anderen Ecken auf Sansibar waren. Das Frühstück ist zwar gut/ok (pancakes, frisches omelette und toast halt - kein käse oder so) aber das Abendessen für Leute die gerne gut essen während des Urlaubs sehr enttäuschend. Der Koch im Kisiwa kann wohl nicht kochen, selbst die lokalen Gerichte (Sansibar spinat, vegetable curry) schmecken nicht (ganz viel Sand im Spinat, Gewürze sind unbekannt, total verbrannte Lammkotteletts und andere fleischgewordene Schuhsohlen, ganz viel Dosenmais an allem). Der Lunch auf jeder separat von uns gebuchten Tour schmeckte so viel besser als das was hier geboten wurde obwohl die Zutaten größtenteils gleich waren. Hauptgerichte (3 zur Wahl) waren immer a la carte und es gab Vorspeisen- und Nachspeisenbuffet. Highlight bei den Vorspeisen für uns " bruschetta" also Toastbrot mit Tomate..Schön auswärts essen ist in Paje aber auch eher nicht. Ebenfalls geärgert hat uns dass nur 2 mini Wasserflaschen vom Hotel pro Tag gestellt wurden.Getränke sind recht teuer. Hotelanlage insgesamt wirkt leider auch sehr grau/steinig, kaum Grün.

Wonderful beach front resort. Each room is its own little villa house. Very clean and had ample AC which is much needed. Steps away from the ocean. Nightly dinner at the restaurant was included which is super convenient. Front desk also arranged tours in Stone Town for us. The spa is fantastic.
