The location of the hotel is great because it is on the beachfront. On arrival I was checked into the incorrect room and the hotel only realized 2 nights after, they did offer me free dinner for 2 nights to make up for the misunderstanding. The hotel is clean. The food at the restaurant is not the greatest for the money you pay and the waitron staff need to learn more English in order to communicate better with no misunderstanding. Over all stay was pleasurable.

El lugar es un paraíso!! 😁😁😎👌

El lugar es mágico, bungalows directamente en la playa, el agua del mar cristalina y preciosa. Hay varios tipos de bungalows el nuestro no tenía aire acondicionado, solo ventilador, pero también los hay con aire más caros. La wifi no funcionaba, la estaban arreglando.. Yo volvería encantada.

Il Resort si trova in una buonissima posizione (Paje) leggermente più arretrato rispetto alla spiaggia privata con lettini e ombrelloni in legno. Questo fa si che gli alloggi non siano a ridosso della spiaggia (a differenza di altri resort della zona). Davanti alla zona reception c'è una piscina ben riparata dal vento. La spiaggia è controllata di giorno e notte dai Masai. Il ristorante è fra i migliori in zona sia come offerta sia come qualità, di conseguenza i prezzi sono un po' più alti degli altri. Noi abbiamo alloggiato al secondo piano della villa (una caseggiato Bianco con vista spiaggia). Letto comodo e provvisto di zanzariera, cassaforte con chiave nell'armadio, aria condizionata. Ho messo 3 stelle anziché 4 per due motivi: 1) Nonostante la villa costi un po' di più degli altri è davvero spartano ed da l'impressione di trasandatezza anche se pulita, il mobile per i vestiti non utilizzabile perchè le mensole sono in legno grezzo (neppure levigato) con il rischio di rovinare gli indumenti. Gli asciugamani della doccia, anche se sono stati cambiati quasi ogni gg, hanno tutti una riga di ruggine (probabilmente del cavo dove vengono appesi ad asciugare). Basterebbe un po' di cura di questi dettagli (che sono alla portata di Zanzibar a mio parere) per essere all'altezza del costo leggermente superiore. 2) Abbiamo prenotato il transfer di ritorno per le 5 di mattina ma il giorno della partenza il taxi non si è presentato

Rien de m’a plu ma chambre était sale les serviettes avaient des taches ne sentaient pas bon. Au sol ils y avaient des dizaines de fourmis qui se promenaient. 2 araignées sur les murs, 2 lézards dans les lampes de chevet. Autour de la chambre des palmiers coupés la zone était complètement à l’abandon. J’ai passé une nuit horrible

Cristal resort ligger jättefint på stranden intill havet. Utsikten var fantstisk. Överlag trivdes vi mycket bra. Vi kan tänka oss flera mindre förändringar för att få det fantastiskt. Tex hade vi en liten uteplats vid vår bungalow, men inga möbler. Där skulle vi gärna suttit i några sköna loungemöbler.

Heaven

The place is on a breathtaking beach like a postcard. Too difficult to get to and prices for drinks and food is a little high. Not many rooms with AC. Friendly staff.

Hôtel très bien situé, en bord de plage, bungalows espacés, verdure autour chèvres, poules libres. Sable fin, mer chaude , ciel bleu pour un séjour fin décembre 30 à 36°. Transats privés avec matelas placés face à l’hôtel sur le sable fin sous des parasol en paille et surveillés exclusivement réservé aux hôtes. Nous avons aimé aussi le fait que les vendeurs de plage n'aient pas le droit d'approcher les transats pour notre tranquillité. Ils sont rappelés à l'ordre si ils approchent trop prêt de nous. Sympas leur piscine. Le personnel est aux petits soins surtout l'équipe restauration serveuses, chef cuisinier...Si il y avait quelque chose à améliorer ce serait le menu écrit en anglais il faudrait juste rajouter des photos des plats proposés. C'était un peu compliqué je choisir quand on parle pas trop l'anglais. Là bas, tout le monde est souriant, accueillant. si on doit revenir à Zanzibar ça serait dans le même hôtel.
