I loved the beach and the surroundings lots of trees so atleast that brought a lot of fresh air and wasn’t very humid. Loved the good food only wish they had more traditional Swahili food like ugali otherwise it was good.

I have to say we haven't been hosted here. As we arrived they told us to go to another hotel they partner up with, called Sun Sea Bar Beach Hotel. So my review is about that and cannot compare or say if it was an upgrade or not. Either way I don't think it's a good practice for the host to do so and to not inform beforehand. The new place was good tbh. Private beach view, pool, AC and overall clean.

I loved this place! It's right on the beach and the views and atmosphere are incredible. Beautiful room. I really liked the furniture and design of it, lots of handcrafted touches. Stunning views of the ocean here too. Very comfortable etc Staff were helpful, lovely people. Chilled area but you can walk to Paje easily. I really liked the pool

The staff and location are amazing. There is such a nice chilled vibe when you walk in. The walk to the bar is stunning when you see the ocean in all it's glory!. A great spot right on the beach and amongst plenty of shops and places to eat. A very vibrant area of Paje.

After an easy-peasy pickup from the ferry in Stone Town, we arrived at the Villa to be welcomed by a super friendly team and a romantic seafood dinner set for us right on the beach. It was perfection from the first moment! We spent a relaxing weekend enjoying the pool, walking on the beach, playing games, swimming in the ocean and eating the delicious food prepared by the Chef. We felt safe, pampered and well taken care of. Mr. Davies made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We can't wait to go back!

The hotel is at the heart of Nungwi beach right on the beach. You can enjoy the ocean view while relaxing on the infinity pool. Nice private beach. The cafeteria is set up right on the beach so you enjoy the breeze while eating.
