TOA is a new facility in the as-yet unspoiled Pongwe Beach area. The facility itself is beautiful, and kept immaculately clean. The staff are unfailingly kind, helpful and efficient, and everyone greets you with a smile and warmth. The food is delicious and beautifully prepared, and the grounds and amenities are spotless and carefully maintained. The most memorable part of the stay is the staff; I cannot say enough about how kind and generous they are. I highly recommend a stay at TOA.

Stunning property, great food and staff. The only catch is that high tide/low tide makes it almost impossible to swim (in January it’s low tide until 4pm).

Une merveille à Zanzibar !
Nous étions en vacances en famille avec un enfant de 1 an et notre séjour a été une vraie merveille ! Toute l'équipe est vraiment aux petits soins, et s'assure que votre séjour se déroule pour le mieux. Les chambres sont de très bonne qualité, et elles sont nettoyées 2 fois par jour ! La piscine est superbe. Les cocktails sont très bons ! Nous avons aussi pu utiliser les services d'une baby-sitter pour s'occuper de notre enfant en journée, pendant certains jours. Un des meilleurs points de TOA est son buffet : il est exceptionnel, renouvelé très régulièrement avec des plats de très grande qualité et variés. Je recommande cet hôtel les yeux fermés : vous passerez un séjour sur un nuage, dans un cadre paradisiaque ! Vous pourrez aussi facilement réserver des excursions sur l'île principale et sur d'autres îles de l'archipel. Merci à Ally et toute son équipe !
