Nothing

Amazing location, far from hustle bustle, private beach in front. No One is h(a)unting you..! Owners and staff are helpful, kind and honest. Resort is natural, nice restaurant as well., we loved Kingfish and fresh Mango juice ! Sandrine manages various trips - coral snorkeling, swimming with turtles, dolphin boat trip, Jozani forest excursion.. Swimming and snorcheling is possible right from beach, but take tide into account, there is helpful chart on web, no problem..

Not a problem for us but the lodges don’t have air conditioning so just keep that in mind!

Such a neat paradise! Coco Reef was a perfect place for the first part of our honeymoon. The whole staff was very friendly, conversational and accommodating. Sandrine even made sure we had breakfast for our airport trip in the morning! The food was delicious at every meal! The lodges were really neat, authentic places to stay and we absolutely loved that we could walk right outside our door to the beach. Great place and great people. Just what we were hoping for!

Everything about this place was wonderful. It felt like a hidden paradise, surrounded by lush greenery, almost like a jungle. The beach was peaceful and serene, with only a few people around, making it the perfect escape. The staff were absolutely amazing—always kind, attentive, and incredibly helpful. When I wasn’t feeling well, they provided medicine, checked in on me, and made sure I was comfortable. Their warmth and hospitality made us feel truly welcome.We had so much fun during our stay. We were eager to see tropical animals, and they helped us spot a bushbaby. Colorful tropical birds fluttered around our bungalow, adding to the magical atmosphere. The food was delicious, and we deeply appreciated both the place and the people. We spent about ten days here for our honeymoon, and it felt like being part of a warm, close-knit community. It was an unforgettable experience, and we would love to return.

A minor thing: it would have been nice to have a drinks menu to know what is available. Bring earplugs for sleeping: you can sometimes hear music from other nearby properties at night (of course not the owners fault!).

Lovely rustic wooden & palm leaf bungalow overlooking greenery in the garden, the space was huge and we were comfortable and happy in our space. The beach was quiet and peaceful with sun chairs and hammocks, and the sea swimmable at high tide. Despite the name, there is very little reef outside the property, however, you can find some fish and interesting sea creatures snorkeling if you swim out. The staff were friendly and made sure we enjoyed our stay. Some of the local dishes we tried of the menu were very tasty, such as the cassava, coconut and fish pot.

Note that the village suffers some powercuts sometimes but the property have some generator so in case of emergency it was on

Very cool palm huts with bathroom and terrace to enjoy the sea view. Lovely garden, direct access to small but lovely beach all you need for perfect holiday! The staff is very attentive and helpful, the breakfast is delicious but also you can order very tasty local food. Sandrine helped us to organize transfer and to rent scooter. Merci!

It's hard to say what I didn't like but I would have liked for the chicken not to wake me up at 4 in the morning. Taking into consideration it's a chicken. haha.

You are surrounded by forestry. The sounds of nature bring calmness to the soul to relax and be at peace.

The water is indeed cold but we knew it at didn't bothered us at all. It was refreshing

Everything was perfect, but the best thing was the vibe of the owner,the staff and in general the place. They where also very helpful with Everything although we didn't stay the whole trip with them. Highly suggested

I had a great time here. Sandrine and her crew make it a wonderful place. The location was fantastic and I loved going for a swim in the morning and enjoying the nature.

There was nothing to complain about. I would have liked to see a bushbaby because I could hear some at times, but I had not even considered such an encounter possible anyway before I arrived and was told that they might come around, and certainly it is a matter of luck, so maybe next time.

The owner, Sandrine, is a very attentive host, always seeking to fulfill her guests' wishes, and the complete staff is very friendly and helpful. They create an enjoyable atmosphere that is simply unique. I also liked the delicious food, the local dishes as well as the international ones, particularly the fresh baobab juice, and I am thankful that it could even be arranged for me to take some of it home. Merci beaucoup. Asante sana.

Nothing. I got what i hoped for!

- the Owners and the staff! So respectful, helpful and personal. - the vegeterian dishes i had each night-always just trusted the chef. Never failed!😊 They created a little paradise. The place is simple but still feels so luxurious. The owners/staff brought us guests to a small concert of a different hotel one night - and even made me in my shy-era dance! 100% recommended to ho there!😊

It is ubiquitous in Zanzibar, but still: for a brief period, we were without electricity and running water.

Waking up having a breathtaking view of the azure sea from private lodge - does not get much better than that! Add french-swahili kitchen, extremely attentive staff, dolphins and you get best of in Zanzibar. Discovery of the week, so glad we had chance to stay there!

We loved the natural style of the lodge directly on the beach.

Our stay was too short...

We fell in love in this place as soon as we walk in. Landlords and staff will help you with everything and make you feel at home. Arhitecture and surroundings are so authentic that makes you think you live in a story. Food is superb, freshly prepared by local chef. Also 2 Masai will answer all your questions and teach you a few words in Swahili if you want.

Absolutely amazing stay. The property itself is a little paradise. It’s quiet (except for natural sounds which are lovely), there is a nice beach and the staff is extremely welcoming and nice. The food is exceptionally good, I highly recommend staying for lunch/dinner. The cabins are very spacious and comfortable.
