Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: It has a good pool with a view of the ocean and the Mnemba island is properly visible from here. The staff were courteous and available to answer all queries. They also came to do a mosquito spray. Rooms also felt quite spacious.
Negative: The location is cut off from everything and you're stuck to the resort which has very limited choices. Everything at breakfast felt stale compared to all other properties we stayed at. Rooms, while spacious, didn't feel tasteful - really old lockers, torn decor, and bed wasn't made even at 2 pm the next day. Overall, very average and loads of nicer properties on the stretch.
