It also was so close to the beach and just a quick 5 minute walk. They also have a partnership with another place located in the beach where we were able to use their beach chairs and order food with a 10% off discount. It is also located close to a lot of fun restaurants, and has food that you can order there too if you are not wanting to go out. The pool is also really nice and great for hot days or even night swims.Yuen2024-08-1110VerifiedA cozy quiet enjoyable stay ☺ Very good little resort with a small pool to dip in. Very nice and warm boss and staff, all ready to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Even upgraded the breakfast for me. The sweet breakfast was just delicious! Also offer some simple lunch and dinner when you are lazy to go out. Walking distance to the beach, small shopping area and the Kuza Cave. ☹ Nothing much to complain unless you want a facing the ocean resort (which will cost much more than this)Natalie2024-07-0910VerifiedStaying at Dragonfly was an amazing holiday. I can't wait to go back! ☺ All the staff were so welcoming and helpful, I really appreciated all the services offered (laundry, getting a tuk-tuk for me, recommendations for things do to and see, airport pickup, turn down service). It was awesome having a pool right outside my door and the food at the restaurant was delicious, with a great breakfast and a selection of Tanzanian and Arab inspired food. I also really liked the location, you are close to many quiet beautiful beaches, but away from the overly busy tourist trap area. ☹ The only small issue that happened was the toilet broke, but the owner got it fixed within a few hours and also offered to change my room straight away.Sam2024-06-2910VerifiedExceptional ☺ The host was fantastic, the breakfast was great and I also had an outstanding burger.
