    A big slice of paradise

    rating30 Mar 2026

    The Dhow Inn is the most relaxing place. Rooms are perfect, beds so comfortable. You have shampoo, conditioner and shower gel in your room plus water, tea, coffee, sugar, milk daily. Staff super friendly, drinks amazing and food superb. As we are in low season the food is al a carte as low occupancy. The portions are huge!!! The pools are fantastic, beach is lovely also. We did a day trip to see the red monkeys then onto prison island then stone town. Well worth doing. We had a massage in hotel which was really nice plus they have a lovely boutique shop which I purchased a gorgeous handbag. You can have dinner on the sand which is so lovely. They have a little cat cafe which is brilliant. The cats are so friendly and Joanna the manager cares for them with so much love. You can make a donation to enable the vet to see to any cats if needed. An acrobatic show came to the hotel, amazing! The weather is a gamble this time of year! We had a couple of showers but we have had glorious sunshine, super hot. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat.

    The Lioness was able to find herself totally

    rating22 Jan 2026

    i spent 15 nights at this hotel the location was on point as i wanted a beach hotel but wanted to engage with the local people at the same time. The location of the DI was exactly what i needed I felt safe at peace and was just able to go about my spiritual business. There was an array of local restaurants that catered for every kind of diet Vegan/ vegetarian, pescatarian etc where my room was situated 206 was brilliant i really was able to find myself. the food was wholesome tasteful with all the spices. i had regular contact with the following managers Sarah and Joanna who regularly asked how i was and what i had been up too. Ibrahim on the desk had been very helpful before i had left the UK and made sure my request were all met. therefore i had a trouble free holiday. I would definitely recommend this hotel especially located where it is near all the shops, beach and local restaurants

    Lovely hotel with fantastic food and very hardworking staff.

    rating27 Sept 2025

    We booked this hotel only 1 week before we were due to arrive as our initial hotel cancelled on us due to maintenance issues We arrived around 6am and was met by a lovely man on reception who explained a few of the main points about the hotel. We got the key to our room ,as we had booked it for the day before.We booked a premium room on an all inclusive basis.Breakfast was fine with limited options to pick from. Both lunch and dinner was of a better standard with various options to pick from or you could have the A la carte menu in the evening. Same choices every night though plus you had to pay a premium for a few options.Drinks were ok with local spirits used. If you wanted premium spirits then you pay extra for them. Just be careful when ordering as on occasions when I ordered rum and cokes I was given bacardi rum and the next day I had to sign for payment. This issue was resolved quickly by management.All in all the hotel is well managed and all the staff were very friendly and really do look after you. Too many to mention. Entertainment is limited. Only 1 show every week and the same show the following week. No games or entertainment during the day.The hotel also offers various trips but we never took up the offer as we hired a scooter from a local company just outside the hotel and travelled all around the island.

    Deffo a one to book!

    rating26 Sept 2025

    After a bit of a rocky start - due to the 'all inclusive' package and management!! I can honestly say this is a great place to stay. The hotel is very chill and relaxing. No problems with sunbeds or overcrowding. The food is amazing, especially the dinnertime menu. Staff are all friendly and helpful. It's in a great area to go out and about (night time included). Overall a fantastic little hotel - would totally recommend 100%
