This is sold and marketed as a 5 star hotel. It is a pure scam. Nothing with this hotel is 5 star. I really want people to know this to avoid spending your money on something that is not even near a 5 star experience.

10/10 Exceptional

The entire hotel staff are absolutely wonderful - they are always friendly and welcoming. They are really what makes this place great. The buffet food was great and our room was wonderful. The rOom and hotel in general were immaculately clean. Even the beach along the nearby coast is crystal clear and clean. would say the water for showering isn't great but I'm not sure there's a whole lot that can be done about that. The hotel is also quite far from Stone Town/the airport, so be prepared to booka lot of taxis if you have things to do on the west side of the island.
