This is a very new place focussing on diving excursions with two very well equipped cabins. It is situated in the beautiful marine park area where scuba diving is exceptional. The area is not overrun by tourists and the cabin is a very cosy and restful place. Enjoy one of the evening cocktails, prepared by the friendly staff or relax at the poolside. The small resort arranges shuttle service to and from the airport.

The staff and dedication to detail was outstanding. The place is very well taken care of and the food was excellent. We got upgraded to the newly built rooms. The area was quiet and the balcony was overlooking the sea. We felt like we were in paradise!! They made a big effort to make it eco friendly, which we loved. We will definitely go back! Thank you to all the staff for an unforgettable experience

Simply love this place! Everyone in the staff help you get the best experience on mafia island. They arrange great tours that we really enjoyed. Best experience by far was the whale shark snorkeling. The place is small with few bungalows which make the place really friendly where everyone says hello to each other. The location is also great close to the beach and Kilindoni and the airport. Theres a bar and smaller restaurant which serves great food. Really recommend this place!

We went as a family with kids. Ofcourse value for money compared to those hotels near to the beach. Mafia is a big island but inhabitants is low. Having said that, this hotel was near to any basic amenities required. It is even just 5 to 7 minutes walk to the domestic airport. The staffs welcomed us very well and made our stay exceptionally perfect. They even organized good deal excursion, we all kids managed to see whale-shark and swim with them at Kilindoni which was 10 minutes drive from this hotel. Even snorkeling and blue-lagoon was amazing at Utende which was about 40 minutes drive. All transport was well provided and taken care of us. Looking forward to be back!

    Some nice different options for various tours in the marine park. Not really a beach there, and the little sand available is occupied by working fisherman; either side is mangrove. There is a sandbar further out you can visit. Better to stay outside to avoid the marine fees and only pay them when you need to enter it as nicer beaches elsewhere.
