The Restaurant, Room, Gardener and Manager were helpful and friendly and tried their best with what they had to work with. The room was nice with direct access to the pool. ● no water on two occasions ● restaurant did not have all the food that was listed on the menu ● bar did not have liquor to make drinks tgat was listed on the menu ● owner and staff's four year old children (2) were in the pool without supervision. I felt I was responsible/lifeguard if something happened - that's just me.

Lieu très agréable avec une plage magnifique ! Un vrai bonheur… Personnel très chaleureux et bienveillant. L’hôtel est dans son jus et mériterait quelques travaux de finitions mais on est en vacances…alors passons. Très propre c’est l’essentiel.

Ho soggiornato con mia moglie a Villa Dida dal 12 al 20 marzo 2024. E' stato come essere a casa propria con l'aggiunta della spiaggia e del mare di Zanzibar a completa disposizione e con tutte le comodità. Grazie ai padroni di casa, Dida, Claudia e Mauro e a tutto il personale, in particolare modo alle ragazze sempre carine e sorridenti, per la loro gentilezza e professionalita. Insomma ottimo servizio,ottima cucina, ottimo tutto in una atmosfera di pace. La giusta alternativa ai classici villaggi affollati.
