On the day of departure, we were even able to leave our suitcases at the reception without any problems and were able to use the hotel area/pool area until our departure in the afternoon and continue to enjoy the great service.

Featuring a balcony with pool views, a private beach area and an infinity pool, RoRi Private Luxury Villas can be found in Bwejuu, close to Bwejuu Beach and 17 km from Jozani Forest. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The restaurant serves African and Caribbean dishes, as well as Catalan and Chinese cuisine. Wow! Such a beautiful place with impeccable decor, every comfort available! My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the beachfront villa. The property itself is a dream - large outdoor living space, your own pool, and the beach just steps away. The inside had all the modern amenities including a minibar - soft drinks were free and replenishable as well as a large variety of teas. We lived the amazing breakfast spread each morning served to our villa, staff were very helpful and friendly, Riccardo and the kitchen staff were always available. We loved having lunch and dinner options available from the kitchen and we were pleased with the food when we chose to have it. It was also very easy to walk to local restaurants along the beach which were delicious and low cost. Many activities are bookable through the villa and we even availed ourselves of the massage therapist. It was also super helpful to be connected to a driver not only for airport transfers but also to get around the island. I will definitely return!

Situated a few steps from Jambiani Beach, Olamanga Beach Villa Adults Only offers an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony and free WiFi. It is set 27 km from Jozani Forest and offers full-day security. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. I love everything about the property, very close to the village where you can find supermarket, restaurants, and any other kind of tour that I was looking for. 1min walking to the beach , not packed beach and with very chilled vibes, perfect for couples and families. The rooms are beautiful and comfortables, details oriented. Pool just for us anytime we wanted , and the fact that they don’t do the cleaning everyday for the climate impact we found it very ecological and nice, something that we appreciate.

With a terrace, the 2-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The accommodation features room service, a concierge service and organising tours for guests. Charming and quiet boutique hotel with 2 pools. The hotel is well maintained and extremely clean. The rooms are nicely decorated and the bed is very comfortable. Great water pressure (which is not always the case in the island). Delicious breakfast (I loved the avocado toasts). Only 1 minute away from the beach with nice bars / restaurants around. Also a lot of delicious local restaurants in the village only 10 minutes away by walk. The staff is really friendly and welcoming and helpful. I highly recommend this gem ❤️ (On the pictures: Room with pool view / the bar on the beach near the hotel)
