Thank you so much, Royal Apartments, for your incredible hospitality and for taking such great care of us! I want to especially thank the owner, Mr. Thabit, for his kindness and warm personality in welcoming us and ensuring all our needs were met. The luxurious rooms were amazing, and the sauna was a highlight for my family—it truly made our stay unforgettable. A big thank you to Chef Ochu for the delicious meals and the entire team at the restaurant. The wooden finishing in the restaurant added such a warm and unique atmosphere, making every meal even more special. The experience with the horses was another memorable part of our trip—riding on the beach was just awesome. Besides the place being spotless, the horses were well-maintained, and the trainers were charming and polite as well. Thank you, Royal Apartments team, for such a memorable stay! We hope to visit you again on our future holidays.

The location is ideal, right in the centre of Stone town, on the beach with a beautiful view of the sunset. One of the few hotels in Stone town with a pool (3 pools to be precise), one of which overlooks the beach. The breakfast was tasty, with a good selection. Rooms were spacious and clean, with good air conditioning.

The rooms and the entire hotel are so beautifully furnished and decorated, not to mention the most pretty bathrooms I've ever seen! The view from the balconies facing the Ocean, the fantastic pool at the very center of the hotel, the hotel's location right on the beach while at the same time with a walking distance to everything you wish to reach in Stonetown. The breakfast was excellent with a broad variety of choices for all tastes, and the staff members are professional and welcoming. We will definitely be back!

• The staff, from Reception to gardeners were all so friendly and helpful • The restaurant and bar – a good variety and reasonably priced, especially the cocktails • The swimming pool, with a wonderful view • The sunsets and dawns - wonderful • The gardens, well looked after and cool • The location, right on the beach, just along from a picturesque, if slightly smelly, fishing village
