Staying at this resort was a memorable experience, especially with the beautiful setting on the beach in Pongwe. The rooms were stylish with elegant decorations, perfect for our honeymoon, but the lighting could use some improvement as it got quite dark. The service was mostly pleasant, with staff eager to help, although I did have a less than ideal interaction at the bar. Overall, it offered good value for money, considering the amenities and the unique location far from the hustle of Stone Town.
