Very helpful staff with plenty recommendations. Food is great. Jambiani beach has plenty to do from snorkelling to diving. The tide is out in the morning but you can walk out to it and still swim, and see the sea creatures in the leftover pools. Room cleaning is only by request but done well. No mozzie bites during our stay. a fantastic time and very happy ❤️

    This place is really a hidden gem in Jambiani. Directly at the beach and very calm. Roberto and his wife are great hosts and support you with booking trips, getting drivers or just to answer questions or give recommendations. The rest of the staff was also great. Amazing food and breakfast. The rooms were nice and comfy. It really exceeded my expectations and definitely worth a visit.

    We had a wonderful eight days at Driftwood and probably had the most relaxed holiday of our lives. Days were spent meandering between the beach on the doorstep, pool and sun beds. Uishi and Dricus were great hosts together with all of the staff we encountered. Food was also excellent and very well priced. The bungalows may be described as rustic but met all of our needs.

    Beautifully designed and maintained boutique hotel; feels like a sophisticated private home. Wonderful host. To give an example of the level of service, my suitcase had been damaged during transit. The hotel was able to fix it and return it to me within 30 minutes of arrival. Exceptional!

    We liked beautiful newly built villa in a quiet neighbourhood, spacious room with well equipped outside kitchen, cosy terrace, the pool and surroundings, delicious and plentiful breakfasts, so kind restaurant staff and very welcome host Ralu. We are happy we have chosen to stay in Jambiani because of its authenticity. The area wasn’t very touristy, locals were friendly and welcoming. We walked here even in the evening and hadn’t any problems.

    We had a great stay at the Stonefish Inn! Said is a lovely host and helped us with everything we needed. He even taught us some local customs to get around on the island 😉 We had dinner at his place twice and the fresh fish was amazing. The room was good, located at a one minute walk to the beach.

    Everyone at the property is very welcoming and kind. The area feels very safe and there are several restaurants and stores near by. You can hear the ocean waves at night and see the locals early and later in the day hanging out at the beach.
