Velmi se nám líbila poloha hotelu, vzhledem k tomu, že je mimo další turistická letoviska, je zde klid a soukromí. Nejbližší supermarket byl vzdálený cca. 20 km, což pro nás nebyl s vypůjčeným autem problém. Jídlo v restauraci bylo opravdu výborné. Snídaně byly oproti tomu bohužel slabší. Pokoj byl uklízen každý den a ručníky měněny dle potřeby.

Nice hotel at the beach directly with pool,
The Hotel is nice at a sandy beach that is very clean and enjoyable.
Hotelli kaukana kaikesta, hinnat sen mukaan korkeat,Huone haisi homeelta ja kylppärin hanat ruosteessa.Ulkoa hotelli hyvässä kunnossa ja siisti ympäristö. Vuoroveden vaihtelun vuoksi ranta siirtyi kilometrin päähän riutalle.
Fint hotell men oerhört dyrt med mat, dryck, utfärder och prylar för den som rest runt en del i landet och lärt sig prisnivån. Många ovana turister blir lurade att betala mer än det dubbla jämfört med "normala priser". Underbetald dyster personal. Höga priser och låga löner gav en stark känsla av en hotellägare som utnyttjar alla!

Optimal für Gerringe ansprüche
Preis/Leistung ist soweit okay für die Unterkunft wobei der "Meerblick" nicht wirklich nachvollziehbar ist.
Leider wird man mit den Taxi Fahrten sehr abgezogen auch vom Hotel aus, jeder extra service Kostet viel Geld.

We had a pleasent stay! our room was about a 100 ft away from the beach! ( the beach in th south east is not always nice, but they have two pools) The hotel could use some upgrades overall such as the beach & pool chairs are mostly ripped and dirty, the linen in the room are clean yet deteriorate it. The staff does a really good job with the resources they are provided and are very attentive of their guest!

Helt okej ställe o vara på om man vill ha ett budget hotell. Super bra service hjälpte mig massor när jag vart sjuk o följde med mig till sjukhuset mm så tacksam för det!
Worst hotel ever. Felt completely abandoned. We all got food poisoning every evening We ate at the hotel. We couldn't get our money back when we checked out earlier that first booked due to the poor quality of the place.

Nice and quiet hotel
Nice and quiet place to be on a vacation. Near the beach. A bit off to big cities, good to have a guide or a rental car. No other restaurants nearby, only other hotels.

Come for the beach, not the hotel
Very basic beach hotel that shows it age, many doors only close with excessive force and the breakfast buffet is covered every mornings with flies and wasps because it is open air. Very pricey transfer from and to the airport. But the beach is indeed fabulous!

Value for money
It is fantastic hotel to stay with family. Quite and peaceful location with friendly staff. A bit far from the ports and town and difficult to find transportation locally. Breakfast can be improved - with proper management or presentation. Staff/chef and management need to know the difference of being veterinarian - Veg meal can be contaminated by non-veg meal. The only hot meal during breakfast is mixed with non-veg, which is not friendly for Vegetarian customers.
Ligging van hotel is top. Heerlijk die rust. Mooi strand. Personeel zeer vriendelijk maar niet altijd even snel en vlot van begrip. Maar het is vakantie dus zijn we geduldig en begripvol.
Kamers schoon maar primitief en achterstallig onderhoud.
Eten zeer matig. Dus nooit all inclusive nemen.
Prima restaurants in Jambiani.
Ein perfektes Hotel für Reisende die Ruhe, Komfort und Sauberkeit zu schätzen wissen. Direkte Strandlage. Das Preis- / Leistungsverhältnis ist o.k.. Offizielle (europäische!) Sterne-Kategorie sind wohl 3*** - aber für afrikanische Verhältnisse wären durchaus 4**** angebracht. 2 saubere Pools. Poolbar. Tolles Essen. Frische Säfte. Folkloreabende.
Ausflüge, Hotels in Stonetown und Transfers werden direkt an der Rezeption gebucht.
WIFI ist relativ stabil und reicht bis in die Zimmer.
Hakuna Matata.
Very disappointing. A hotel without A/C in the heat. No working internet connection and a manager/owner(?) who is defending himself like Basil Fawlty.
After staying here we went straight to the Hilton appreciating good quality and service.
The staff of the hotel was very friendly but the environment was not available for them to shine.
Tolles Hotel mit sehr freundlichen Mitarbeiter_innen. Abendbrot etwas teuer (16USD/Person) und keine anderen Essensmöglichkeiten in der Nähe. Zur Entspannung ideal. Liebevoll gestaltet.
Extremely pleasant and friendly staff. Great selection of food and it changed at breakfast every day which was good. Excellent wifi even in room for me. Flowers on bed every day lovely touch. Activities well organised. Hotel am hour from stone town and quiet little village nearby but this is perfect if you're looking for a quiet getaway.
My stay was quite disappointing. If you don't mind drab, small windowed rooms and are looking for seclusion with no excursions then this hotel is an affordable option. The hotel is right on a little private beach although no windows face the beach and one can barely see out the little windows either way. The outside of the hotel looks quite renovated but the rooms are fairly depressing. The worst thing is that the hotel is so far away from anything that any excursion will include high taxi expenses, more than doubling the cost of an excursion if one is more centrally located. Staff were polite however a bit inexperienced. Wifi was very unstable and my room's air conditioner did not work. Food was quite good. Management was a mix between a lovely lady and a brusque man. I cannot recommend this hotel. Better to stay in Kizimkazi where you can find much better for the same price.
La Madrugada Beach Hotel was a welcome getaway from the hustle and bustle of Stonetown. That said, it is quite isolated which is both good and bad. There was no one on the beach, constantly harassing us to purchase goods, but there was also no other real options for food, unless you got into a cab.
The food was between average and good and it is all you can eat. The breakfast fruits and breads always had flies on them, which made them inedible to me. The bar service was absolutely miserable one of the three days we were there. Apparently some sort of mis-scheduling of the staff. In addition, there was only one type of whisky on offer, and not a very good one. They were unable to replace this bottle for a day.
The pool and the beach area are kept clean and were very inviting, however there are not enough lounge chairs for all guests which made getting a chair quite competitive which I don't care for on holiday. Also the headrests are fixed, with no way to adjust the tilt.
All in all, it's not a bad place, but they do have some work to do.

отель на 3-4 дня.
хороший отель на юге острова, пляж в зависимости от прилива отлива. лежаков маловато на всех, особенно на пляже. скромный, но насыщенный завтрак.
I liked the location. Would say it's one of the most southern hotels. The beach wasn't all that wonderful as it had to be cleared of coral and they have left a few sharp bits. The wind wasn't as fierce either as some of the northern beaches. The swimming pools made up for the beach though. They were excellent. The service was fine and the food was good and everyone tried to be helpful.
hotel in gutem zustand, zimmer jeden tag sauber und wunderschön mit blumen dekoriert.
abends buffet, vielseitig und reichhaltig, immer frisch, meeresfrüchte und fisch
2 pools mit sauberem meerwasser, personal sehr freundlich, manager immer vor ort und hilfreich bei allen anliegen
