So satisfied, hard to explain, but I'll try 😊 first of all, everything is at least the same nice and good like on the pictures or even better. I like when my deal is a good deal and don't feel later any hiden tricks. Super kind staff, everybody want to make you feel the best, all the time, every minute. It is so true, when on my last night I wanted to eat again a special noodle what I learned on the north part of the island, but it wasn't on the menu, the cheff came to me and gave me his best ideas how to make my wish true. The result? The best meal ever on the Island (what is a huge word, I'm a gastrofan and tried kind of everything 😅). Clean and comfy rooms with AC, double bed with a big matrasse (not two small ones pushed to each other, what I hate), nice view, terasse. The pool is really good located and well equipped with the sunbads, they have the shaders when you need. On the owned beach part you'll find some double hanging bed with the view of the ocean, so comfortable I had in these beds with my wife more afternoon naps 😊 And the STAFF IS SUPERB. I love them, everybody is smiling and searching always the way how to make you even more happier. Thanks for them we found many hiden places, good snorkling places and rent place, they offered to pack the breakfast to go if we'd have an early morning program somewhere else. My wife had her birthday there during on our holiday, the staff helped to decorate and offered a nice bday program with singing, cake with her name and candles and stuff. Of course when I was interested for the local happy bday song they thought me the suahieli version. 😊 Im sure I could write more novels about the hospitality we experienced there, but you can see already the point. Go here, have fun, enjoy, HAKUNA...
Read moreJaribu is a very relaxing, peaceful beach hotel--not luxurious, but charming. The grounds are spacious, open, green, harmonious, and truly beautiful; they are well cared for but with a natural feel. The buildings are of natural, traditional materials, basic but comfortable. We had a good bed in our deluxe cottage. The restaurant, too, is open, harmonious and relaxing--a very nice place for a meal or a drink. The pool is wonderful.,||All of the staff--the ones at the restaurant/bar, the cleaning staff, the cooks, the massage therapist, the maintenance men, and the security guards--were kind, thoughtful, helpful, eager, friendly, accommodating, and unhurried. My wife had a minor injury while were there and the staff really went out of their way for her. And Rachel, the owner/manager, went far beyond what one would expect; she was especially helpful in many ways, and was always concerned with our needs, friendly, and pleasant. I needed internet access for my work, and we happened to be there at a time when there was some work on the electric grid in the area, so there were some disruptions; the hotel has a generator for such eventualities, but beyond that, Rachel pulled out all the stops to make sure I could get online. Paje and Jambiani short taxi rides away, and both have good restaurants and interesting shops. The hotel is well connected with good, dependable...
Read moreAbsolutely stunning! Couldn't ask for more. A little piece of paradise! Rooms clean and neat, ocean view, private patio, fans and mosquito nets inside, hot water showers. Beds comfortable with good pillows and cleaned daily, with a turn down service. The best pool we have seen so far! An infinity pool on the beach looking over iridescent sea. A short walk down a path in the sea to get to a turquoise 'beach'. Lovely to swim in or lull in the waves watching the dhows and kite surfers go by. Central between the beautiful Paje and Jambiani beaches, both walking distance. Very peaceful and relaxing, away from the hustle and bustle of tourists and hawkers. Food is decent and around the average price for the area. Everything in dollars. Can organise many activities. 'Doctor' - his nickname, full of beans and laughs, very helpful and friendly. Makes fresh smoothies every morning for breakfast. Staff lovely! Owner went out of her way to help us when my friend's cellphone fell out on the ride. Managed to get it back from Stone Town. Then went out of her way to help us find our next accommodation. Would love to have stayed on, but fully booked....so book early! Would...
