We came here on our honeymoon and it’s been an absolutely fantastic experience. We’ve been brilliantly looked after throughout. We arrived at midnight to a cool, clean and gorgeous room (with excellent anti mosquito defences!). The food, team looking after us and location have been out of this world! My only complaint is about the amount of weight I’ve gained…!

Very disappointing experience. We were recommended this place for Sunday brunch. We arrived at 11.30 as per booking, the place was empty, no vibe. The live music / DJ was meant to be playing from 11, however, when asked, we were told that “he has not arrived yet”. (He eventually arrived at 12:30 and started to set up - we didn’t hear him playing). The brunch food is very average, I ordered French toast - it was nothing like french toast at all, just slightly fried bread with honey drizzled on top. Service is quite poor as it takes long time to attract attention from the waiters who were preoccupied with their phones. Even when repeatedly asked to bring butter and jam (which was part of one of the dishes we ordered) - it only arrived when my son finished with his toast:) We were leaving at around 13.00 and the place was still pretty empty, with a couple of tables occupied. The good thing about the place is a view and the fact it’s so close to the Rock restaurant. View basically earned an extra start in this review. Spend your money and time at Rock would be my advice.

Service is slow, trying to get attention of the waitress but they ignore me and went their own way. The waitress who served me talks with an attitude when I was expressing my concern. Toilets had no water had to find someone to fix the problem so I can use, but it’s takes long as they had to fix another person to do that and for me had to leave and go to hotel to use washroom. Food is nice and it came right on time. No complains on that.

This small hotel is a wonderful experience if you are looking for total relaxation. The staff are super attentive and the manager goes beyond to make you feel welcomed. The accommodation is spectacular with private pool and views of the splendid ocean. We did not take any of the optional trips, but looked interesting. The walks along the beach is uninterrupted views of white sand and the bluest of seas. This places comes highly recommended for couples in need to total relaxation.

We did not stay at the resort however we frequented the restaurant and simply put the food is awesome. Breakfast, lunch and dinner all quality affordable experiences with amazing views! We enjoyed the food more at this location than our own 5 star resort around the corner and their sushi nights are really worth it. The staff are friendly, the location gorgeous and management is on it preserving the standards.

We visited Zanzibar with our family in October 2023. We visited Upendo where we had sundowners and after we had a great dinner with the best view on the Rock. After dinner my kids hang out with the belgian sheppards while looking over the ocean.

This was probably the nicest meal we had in Zanzibar! Super fresh, great flavours and a really nice option of food. Views are stunning and the vibe is great. Highly recommend! We even came back again since it was so much better than other nearby restaurants. I got the pad Thai both times and the piri prawns for starter and my fiancé had the beef tatatiki which was like a whole beef fillet and the butter chicken curry! Super delicious.

The quality of the food ia pathetic. Price are just crazy for the quality and quantity. We asked to seat in some table and the head of the restaurant told us that all were booked... But no signs on the table... We had to seat in a big round table for 10 pax while we were 5... Not the best... And some table were still empty when we left... Perhaps booked for next year.... We were preparing to go to the swimming pool with a baby. No body told us anything except when we were on the way to the swimming pool that a waitress told us to pay 10 000 TZH.... And on the bill you charge 20 000 TZH... Price is written nowhere... I call that stealing! We went to this place few years ago and it was really cool, charming, nice wipe and you were just willing to drink and relax... Now, i do not know what is happening but we were not welcome at ALL!!! I will never go back!
