We stayed at LaGemma in May 2013. Staff were helpful and knowledgeable and the facilities were good. The only negative was the distances to get around the resort, but I believe a shuttle may be requested from reception whenever one wishes to go anywhere. All in all a great stay and will definitely consider going back.

After a Safari in Kenya, this hotel was the perfect place to escape to and RELAX. We were impressed the minute we arrived by the gardens, seating area where you met with a very refreshing drink and friendly staff. When we arrived at our room, we were soo impressed by the decoration with the flowers, our beautiful fruit basket and... More

Nice gardens, huge territory. Bungalows are actually shared between 4 guests, but spacious rooms are fully separated and secluded private patio with sea view adds to your privacy. But you naver have a chance to enjoy all these, as on beach holidays people usually hang out on the beach Lol Gardens and beach are well maintained. Water is crystal clear.... More

My husband and i travelled here on our honeymoon. We had already been on a all inclusive Safari in Kenya so the bar was set quite high. The hotel itself was quite impressive after driving through shanty towns to get there. The greeting area and gardens were really nice, bedrooms were a complete let down. Very old fashioned and just... More

My partner and I stayed here in February of this year. It was suggested by a friend in the safari business. I have been to Zanzibar before and stayed at some very nice hotels but this one is the tops. Beautiful everything and mother nature provides the Indian Ocean for all day swimming in crystal clear water. It could not... More

We travelled with two children aged 10 and 12. They had a wonderful holiday, as did we. We were after a relaxing stay at a hotel that catered for kids. There is visual security at all perimeters, which meant that we let the kids have the run of the place while they stayed together. They were treated well by all... More

We honeymooned at this resort and had a great time. However the resort desperately needs to be upgraded to be true to it's billing as a 5 star facility. The bedroom was an utter disappointment - crummy fittings, old carpet and furniture and a strained bathroom. The bed was two singles pushed together, two duvets and foam pillows (yes, foam... More

We spent the last week of our honeymoon in Tanzania at this resort. We were looking for an all-inclusive beachfront resort, which is why we chose this resort. The staff were professional and courteous and we had great conversations with all of them. The grounds were beautiful and well-groomed. Rooms had a spacious back deck and beautiful views of the...

We decided to take a mini break over a long weekend, and chose a destination not yet travelled. Our decision was good in that we visited a small piece of paradise, and not good in that we only had 2 days in this amazing resort. Our trip to the destination was a harrowing event, but is not part of this... More
