Huone oli erittäin siisti. Siivooja kävi päivittäin. Täytti vesipullot useampaan kertaan, joten kaupasta ei tarvinnut ostaa vettä. Henkilökunta oli todella ystävällistä. Rauhallinen sijainti. Hyvä ruoka ravintolassa

Otroligt fin och prisvärd resort med fantastiskt poolområde och pool. Frukosten som ingick och beställdes al la cart, omelett, äggröra, stekta ägg, bacon, pannkakor, avokadotoast, yoghurt och fruktfat, var väskor gott. Buffébordet var också ok, med juice, kaffe, flingor och mjölk och kakor, bullar. Städning två gånger per dag och effektiva myggsprayer. Tog ca 30 min att gå på stranden in till Paje och sedan tog vi tuk-tuk hem för ca 5000 shilling. Fanns några bra restauranger närmare ut med stranden, bland annat en italienare. Fantastisk bar ute på piren som hör till hotellet där kvällsdrinken kunde intas i solnedgång. Hög och lågvatten påverkar badmöjligheten, bad på morgonen och sedan eftermiddag/kväll.

The staff were extremely nice and accomodating, it was a beautiful property, right on the beach. We loved the jetty bar to relax on top of the ocean and go for a swim while we enjoyed our drinks. Plenty of comfortable and beautiful shady spaces to lounge by the sea, and the pool was clean and cool. We had a wonderful stay! The only thing I would say is that the food was not very good, with the exception of barbecue night which was delicious. I would still very much recommend to stay here!

This was a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the beach. There was clear access from the hotel to the water but what made the swimming so much more enjoyable was the jetti. This allowed for swimming while the tide was out and walking on the beach early in the morning or at sunset. We felt comfortable leaving our stuff to swim together and had no security problems while at spice island. the food and drinks were wonderful and the staff made us feel comfortable and relaxed. we would definitely return!

For us, this property is the perfect blend of Africa and luxury. It still had a local feel, but with most of the amenities you want at a European/american resort. The rooms are nice and the staff are great. What makes this property unique, and why I would choose it again, is that it has a 100 metre long dock stretching out into the Indian Ocean. The landing at the dock's end sits over the water and allows for great views and more ocean breeze to quell the Zanzibar heat. The dock also provides adequate snorkeling underneath, perfect for families who don't want to venture to the reef, but still want to enjoy some amazing fish. The downside to Spice Island is the wi-fi. It is slow and does not always work. But, who goes to Zanzibar to look at the internet? Hakuna matata The food in the restaurant is good, not great. It is good enough to eat there every day, so you don't have to take a taxi out. Fine dining is available elsewhere, if you are a foodie. However, the wine list is pretty good! The owner owns his own vineyard, and knows how to get good wines from South Africa.

Upon arrival, I received a warm welcome from the staff (including men dressed in traditional Masai clothes). That was a nice touch. My room (23) had a garden view and was spacious with a poster bed, sofa and two bathrooms. It was clean and I especially appreciated the turndown service where staff prepare your room for the night and make sure it’s mosquito free. They have a big restaurant and their menu offers local dishes, as well as European and American food. I recommend the traditional fish stew. They also have a great selection of South African wines and very good cocktails (the Mango Cooler was my favourite). One some evenings they have themed buffets and on Saturday, we had a BBQ by the pool. The breakfast is wonderful- there’s continental, eggs, sausages and a variety of fresh fruits. There’s an amazing Jetty Bar that sits in the ocean. It’s a great place to chill, have a cocktail or two and eat a light lunch. I believe they have the biggest pool on the island- it really is impressive. They provide swimming towels and there are plenty of sun loungers and a hammock. The staff were amazing throughout. So smiley and always eager to help make sure you have the best time.

Great place, only complaint is food and drink are a bit more expensive than they need to be - good food though.

A mi chemin entre Paje et Jambiani , cet hotel est idéalement placé. Les chambres sont propres et le personnel est efficace . un petit problème de clim réglé assez rapidement. Logé en demi-pension , le diner est plus que correct , avec une cuisine originale sortant des sentiers battus. Le calme et l'harmonie qui régnent dans cet établissement ont été les ingrédients d'un séjour réussi.

Dejlig afslappet oplevelse. Fine hytter og godt personale. Mht maden på hotellet, så er det ikke nogen stor oplevelse og all inklusive kan ikke anbefales. Det mange aktiviteter der står oplistet kan mm ikke helt regne med: fx er der ikke mulighed for at ride og de 2 katemaraner så ud til at være i stykker. Vandet fint som forventet og vejret perfekt.

O lugar é para quem quer sossego absoluto, funcionários solícitos, não tem nada para fazer ao redor ou no hotel, banheiro ruim, cama boa, o hotel só tem internet no restaurante e na piscina, e muito ruim, praia com muitos ambulantes extremamente inconvenientes, mas o pior mesmo são os passeios e transfers vendidos pela recepção do hotel, são caros e muito ruins, beira a desonestidade, comida muito ruim por ser muito apimentada, enfim não voltaria para essa região e muito menos para esse hotel.

El hotel es precioso ...aunque falta mantenimiento!! Camas comodas buenas, el personal del restaurante y recepción muy corretos y educados !! Tuvimos un incidente desagradable en la llegada,si escogéis este hotel guardáis muy bien vuestras pertenencias personales!! Ya que el manager no tuvo ningún detalle cómo se pasara del tema !! Pero enfim no deja de ser un buen alojamiento volvería .. pero sería más cuidadosa ..espero que el comentario llegue hasta el Hotel ya que los detalles cuentan mucho y no tuvieron ninguno con nosotras porque un mal rato me lleve ... aunque después restas importancia y disfrute mucho las instalaciones que son muy lindas pero algo descuidadas !!

Well organised pick up from Ferry and local staff very friendly. Ambiance is great and views spectacular. Clean big pool. Unfortunately Jetty closed when we were there throughout stay and food/beverage choices extremely limited, poor quality and very expensive. Not much to do but to lounge around. The rudimentary butterfly park and forest nearby will keep you entertained a few hours while Stonetown/main city approx. 1 hrs drive away has much more to offer but requires a day-trip that the hotel will happily organize against a fee.

Rien n’est vraiment propre. Tout est vieux. La cuisine est moyenne. Le rapport qualité /prix est tres décevant. On paie 60$ le transfert de l’aéroport alors qu’il coute 35 On part en ayant l’impression de s'être fait avoir. Tout est organisé pour plumer le client... Et le service n’est pas du tout a la hauteur, meme si les gens sont gentils...
