Hotel located directly on the beach in the fishermen's district of Kilindoni offering average prices.
It is unmissable for its average prices and its location directly on the beach of the fishing district of Kilindoni, because indeed here there are not many affordable alternatives. But unfortunately it is not well kept: questionable cleanliness, especially the mattresses and the bathrooms (no hot water), no electric generator, restaurant too expensive, just like the activities. The owners are nice but not very concerned about their guests. Better to opt for a local pension further away from the beach or a hotel of higher range.

It was the best!

The rooms were very spacious and clean. It had both air conditioning and an overhead fan. But my party was surprised when we arrived that one room we had booked did not have air conditioning so beware that there is one double room on the property that does not have air conditioning.
The property is nice but needs just a few more touches to make it truly relaxing. A nice hangout/common space with comfortable seating would be a good addition and more comfortable beach seating. The space did have some smart touches though like chargers by outdoor seating, drying racks outside, water bowl to wash feet off, etc...
The food was good but not anything super special. When we were there right after the first rain there was an insane amount of flies. I don't know what could be done about that but it was off putting.
For the whale shark excursion you leave right in front of their hotel. The guides were excellent and we did see whale sharks even on an overcast rainy day. The hotel provided equipment for you if you didn't have your own. They were able to arrange all the excursions and transportation and I really appreciated all the work that went into that. The owner and workers did an incredible job accommodating our every need. I was happy with our stay and the value.

La struttura è il perfetto posto dove rilassarsi, lontano da mete turistiche, completamente vista mare e nel mezzo della natura (del nulla). La strada per raggiungerla è piuttosto dissestata, ci vuole più tempo in auto invece che con moto / Tuk-tuk o addirittura a piedi (sulla spiaggia). La camera è molto grande, seppur spoglia (consiglierei qualche ripiano in più), con condizionatore e ventilatore. Il bagno è grande ma l’acqua calda si ha di rado, anche se quando è tiepida è comunque accettabile. Il personale è estremamente gentile e cerca di realizzare qualsiasi desiderio dei clienti, questo penso sia davvero il punto forte. Il ristorante vista mare è molto bello, più volte abbiamo potuto cenare in spiaggia a lume di candela. Per la cena di Natale è stato organizzato un bel buffet ed un faló. La SPA offre diversi massaggi ed è piacevole ed economica. La spiaggia è ampia e vi sono 4/5 ombrelloni e lettini, sempre liberi.
Il menù è sempre lo stesso, si scegliere il pesce (pesce intero, calamari, polpo, ogni tanto gamberi / aragosta) e il contorno (verdure, patatine, puré o riso). Nessuna variazione nella cottura e nel sapore, inoltre sull’isola è difficile trovare altro, per questo motivo consiglio di soggiornare per 3/4 giorni al massimo. Punto assolutamente da migliorare! Internet non sempre funziona e non arriva nelle camere, ma si può farne a meno. Vi sono molte mosche ovunque, probabilmente per via dei villaggi di pescatori nelle vicinanze, per questo motivo a volte c’è anche puzza di pesce.

Hidden gem not to be missed.
Food served were real value for money and the staff were helpful in providing recommendations and friendly. Even though the island power supply were unstable at times, the staff responded very quickly to rectify problems.
Visit it soon before this place gets crowded!

Traveler notes:
- four nights we found optimum, I would suggest any longer and you may find yourself without much to do and the simple meals repeat a little.
- For lunch we ate at Butiama next door which did some nice salads.
- Activities:
Whale sharks 5/5. We saw 10+ whale sharks and swam with them for hours.
Chole day full day tour: 5/5. Possibly even better than the Whale sharks. Coral reef was in excellent condition and the lunch BBQ on the tidal sand bank was incredible. Don’t miss this! Also the blue lagoon jellyfish were a surprise.
Overall a great place to stay on Mafia.
