    Perfect hotel, perfect staff, perfect stay
    What can I say about this hotel? PERFECT! Villa was amazing! With direct acess to the beach. With big entrance, a big living room (with fruits and snacks to welcome us), a big and perfect bed, and the most perfect bathroom! Every staff was always so helpfull and nice! Restaurant's food was delicious. This is the type of exquisite place you want to be. Not only they treat you like the most important person of the hotel, but they help a lot the comunity of the village around. I absolutly recomend this hotel!
    Bear in mind this hotel is placed in a quiet and remote place of the island, so its a long trip from airport to hotel (aprox. 2h). But absolutly worth the jorney!

    Incredible experience
    Aiyana is a must-go if you travel to Tanzania and especially to Zanzibar. The hotel is just amazing and the staff members are the most welcoming and caring people you can wish for. We spent 6 days there and had the best experience as a couple. We really hope we can come back very soon. We highly recommend their rock spa massage, during sunset, that is situated on a rock and that you can reach by a 3 min kayak drive, as well as their private dinner on the beach. Service and food are amazing.
    nothing ! everything was just perfect !

    Very good
    I enjoyed the stay, would say that it is more of a couples retreat over a family orientated hotel
    the breakfast was simple yet nice, the hotel is secluded so it is very quiet and a nice place to go and relax

    A jaw-droppingly beautiful, revitalising and soul warming retreat.
    We loved the secluded and stunning location, the incredibly warm and caring staff, the beautifully designed resort and all that it has given and continues to give back to the local village community. It's an example for all.

    An absolute paradise - a mixture of decadent luxury, in contrast with simple natural beauty.
    The location was excellent - remote, like going back 1,000 years in time. Best beach on earth.
    Service was good, but forgetful. I asked for a beer opener 4 times and never received one.

    Its like paradise and extremely relaxing!
    Its a wonderful location with the most beautiful beach Ive ever seen. I was literally speechless the day we arrived. Great for a relaxing holiday, if you just want to take a break from everything. Sailing lessons and trips on the traditional NGalawa were definitely highlights of our stay. Great variation of themed dinners/ evenings, we especially enjoyed the barefoot BBQ at the beach. Id recommend the spa rock experience, since its quite unique and close to the beautiful nature. The staff is very friendly and tries to make everything possible. Also, housekeeping came two times a day and everything is very clean. The architecture of the hotel is really well integrated into the beautiful nature and every villa is spacious and well decorated with a nice view of the ocean.

    Our trip was wonderful, however there should be some points mentioned for an objective review. 1. The excursions are quite expensive and there are very limited options to explore the island without them since the hotel is pretty isolated. 2. Again, the spa price list is higher than European standards and could be justified if the treatments would have been excellent. They were average at best, however the rock spa is a unique and nice experience (still quite pricey). 3. There are plenty of vegetarian options, but as a vegan it was a little bit difficult to communicate some dietary adaptions. The staff tried very hard, so after a couple of days it wasnt an issue anymore. Also, the traditional Swahili food (and breakfast!) is very vegetarian/ vegan friendly :) 4. One last little thing - there is free wifi for guests at the bar and at the restaurant. Its okay but doesnt work too well from time to time. You could buy wifi for your private villa at an additional cost of 20 USD. I think this concept is quite outdated for a five-star hotel but on the other hand, it could be a great opportunity to stay offline for a while and just enjoy your surroundings ;)

    Stunning resort with breathtaking beach and ocean view. Stuff was friendly and responsive. For the first few days we had a feeling that they are a bit slow, but when you got used to the pace of this wonderful resort, everything starts to be nice and smooth. This is one of the most beautiful resorts I ever been.
