      "Great Hotel but poor internet" Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 6, 2013

      The hotel is in a safe area with the sun coast casino and hotel walking distance. I walked around and did not feel uncomfortable at all. The room i stayed in was a good size with a sofa, kitchen area, desk and bed. The bathroom was ok but the shower leaked all over the floor plus the water kept on going hot and cold. The internet is very poor, its done by how much mb you use not by how much time. plus it went down for the whole day and no one knew how to fix it. The resturant that is joined on to the hotel was fantastic and good prices as well. Another thing that got to me was that i sent an email to the hotel and no one contacted me until a week after I left the hotel so that does not make the management look good. I would not stay here again but only because of the internet as i need it for work, but the hotel was worth the money if the internet does not bother you.

      "Perfect for biz travellers" Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Nov 3, 2012

      I had the most pleasant stay of 8 days this past week, and thoroughly enjoyed everything the hotel and the top drawer service by the staff. this is a small place, with only twenty room, but it has a full service kitchen that actually serves real food. what a treat! excellent location that is quiet but close to the Musgrave shopping mall, with many good restaurants close by. For a biz traveller, this is truly home away from home - intimate, accommodating, attentive and yet never overbearing. I cannot thank the hard working staff enough for making my stay comfortable - exactly what I needed as I travelled a long way, from San Francisco. Five stars, for overall experience, and value. Thank you.

      We enjoyed our stay very much at this B&B.  The hosts were very pleasant and concerned that we were comfortable.  They were helpful with extra information about what to do in the area.  Breakfast was perfect.  We would recommend this B&B anytime to anyone who wants to relax in this beautiful area.

    The entire location was spectacular! The only small drawback was the bits of wear and tear within the room itself. Given that the room had colonial style... African furniture the wear was far less notable as compared to major chain hotels and did little to distract from the over all. The views were incredible and the staff was simply perfect!!!! by a Hotels.com guest on 10/24/12

    This is a great hotel but not much to do in the hotel and it is far from any evening entertainment. They do have lovely swimming pools for during the day if the weather is good. On arrival at the hotel it is better than 5* but from the 2nd day onwards there is nothing really special except for a very comfortable room. You will need to have your own […] transport when staying at this hotel. Read more

    Beautiful place, staff is kind but not luxurious. Not on the beach, you need to get a shuttle to get to the beach and you are always charged for the shuttle. If you book a massage from the lodge to the hotel they also charge the shuttle.

    We had a fantastic time and the hotel is beutiful. Only problem is that it seems to be loosing its sparkle due to the new hotel. Need to do a minor re-furbish but also bring back some services rather than making use of the other hotels which is a drive away. Things such as the gym come to mind as well as a better resturant / food offering. Also water […] features not working.Otherwise beutiful and tranquil Read more

    Zimbali really is an amazing destination. So scared of giving it a great rating as many more people might decide to go there!

    We've been staying at the hotel for five nights and given the fact that the location is absolutely breathtaking and having dinner on site is a must, it was a great deal of annoyance that the food menu had a very limited selection. Staff very friendly but incompetent on various occasions. Beach accessible via shuttle service or by a 15-20 minute walk […] through the impressive indigenous forest. For golfer and nature lovers Zimbali will be an awesome experience. Read more

    The hotel is absolutely beautiful. However, you cannot get anywhere without having to get a shuttle - whether it is to your room or down to the beach or resort. The pool area is lovely but cannot be used by all the guests - very small. There are 76 rooms and only 16 pool chairs around the pool - unless you book your spot before 8 in the morning you […] have no chance. As there is not much else to do one would expect better facilities at the pool area. The spa is widely advertised - but also fully booked for the duration of our staff - very disappointing. Staff are incredibly friendly and the service is very good. Read more

    Sehr schöner Aufenthalt. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Blick auf den Wald. Tolle Geräusche nachts von den Tieren. Sehr schöne Poollandschaft, man muss allerdings 15-20min zu Fuß laufen, was allerdings aufgrund des abenteuerlichen Pfades mitten durch den Wald auch ein spannendes Erlebnis ist (alternativ Shuttle Bus). Hinter dem Pool gibt es auch einen sehr […] schönen Sandstrand am Meer, allerdings ist Baden im Meer verboten (sehr steil abfallend, Strömung, angeblich Haie). In der Hotelanlage kann man sich aber auch gut aufhalten, gutes Restaurant mit gutem Service. Read more

    Traumhafte Lage, die ganze Zimbali Lodge wurde wunderschön in den Hang gebaut und versteckt sich gut in dem dichten Dschungel Das Essen im Hoteleigenen Restaurant schmeckt hervorragend und ist überaus bezahlbar (Hauptgerichte zwischen 10-15 Euro, Flasche Wein 8-15 Euro, Stand Februar 2012)
