Der Standort der Unterkunft, der hier angezeigt wird, entspricht nicht dem richtigen Standort! Wir hatten eine Unterkunft am Strand erwartet, jedoch befindet sie sich im „Inneren“ von Nungwi. Man muss also jeden Tag über kleine, schmutzige Wege zum Strand laufen. Vor allem der Rückweg am Abend im Dunkeln war sehr unangenehm. Abgesehen davon war die Unterkunft okay, halt das, wofür man zahlt.

Just to be clear: there is no pool. And the hotel is 5 minutes walking distance from the beach. But the service is 5 stars. And they clean every day, and change the bed and towels every 2 days
