Pros (+) I had an amazing stay at Dhow Resort! From the warm welcome to the seamless service, everything was great. The standout was the incredible hospitality from Francis and his team, especially Violet, Jackie, and Farid. They truly made my stay memorable. If you're after a peaceful getaway, this is the perfect spot. While there's not much around, Jambiani Plaza (small supermarket, ATM) and Paje (a live...
Cons (-) There’s nothing really negative to say. It would be great to have more loungers and sit bags on the beach to attract more visitors and adjustable pool beds for added comfort. The food is decent, but with a little extra effort, it could be even better and elevate the experience even more!

Pros (+) By great chance, I stumbled upon this hotel on Booking and I’m so so happy to have been able to stay for 6 days, 5 nights at Dhow Resort.

Pros (+) We thoroughly enjoyed a fantastic stay at Dhow resort. The cleaning, massage, service, reception (Farid) and owner (Francis) were extremely hospitable and we felt very welcome, nothing was too much. The place was magical.
Cons (-) The only - point for us are the new Polish tenants who were also present at that time and gave us a nervous and not hospitable feeling, the reason for us not to return, unfortunately.

Pros (+) The hotel is cute and quite clean. Location is great with access to beach directly. No safety issue as you may see on google review. Staff are very friendly, and food delicious.
Cons (-) Many facilities in the room broke, we had a curtain fall from toilet, the door doesn't work. The matress has a curve which is not very comfortable to sleep. And too often electricity breakdown.
