Appartamenti a Jambiani

Check-in? Smooth as butter. Room? Cleaner than most 5-star hotels I’ve seen so far. Outside terrace? It’s literally Bali combined with Zanzibar. Staff? Friendliest people I’ve probably ever met. Food? The chef should be praised 24/7. This is just a summary of everything that should interest you. We arrived at Coral Rock at around 9am, knowing that check-in is usually at 2pm. We were greeted at the reception by a lady that informed us that the former guests will be leaving and as soon as the room is properly cleaned, we can go in. We left our luggage at the reception and proceeded to relax in the restaurant area while we waited. We had coffees, fruit platters and fresh juices and were entertained by Jerry, a staff member of Coral Rock. We had a very pleasant conversation, he had a wonderful smile and just made time pass easier. After what seemed to only be 5 minutes (but was actually 3 hours), we were informed by Ali (another staff member with whom we completely fell in love) that the room is ready. We proceeded to go to the reception to get the luggage - gasp - which was gone. Instead, the bags were waiting for us in a cool AC’d room, with a big bed full of flowers and fresh water bottles. To die for! This is just our first story with Coral Rock. The following days were amazing as well. Each day we dropped our key off at the reception so housekeeping can occur, which was done very seamlessly. The staff members (especially Ali and Jerry) always made sure to ask us if we need anything and if everything is to our liking. Now, the food… The food! We ate the greatest octopus and calamari ever! We also had a Swahili style seafood coconut curry, which was absolutely (again) to die for. Now, I’ve seen some bad reviews of the tuna tartaki (basically tuna steak), with people saying that it would always be way too dry and cooked extremely well done, which of course is not ideal with this dish; I decided to venture and try it out to see for myself. Needless to say, the reviews were either outdated or simply written by people that have nothing to do whatsoever with food, because it was cooked to perfection. Perfectly medium-rare in the center and crusted with toasted sesame seeds? It was absolutely mesmerizing how perfect that dish was made. I absolutely adored every single part of this experience. Other great dishes include the ramen (all variations of it, as we ate the beef, seafood and chicken ramen), the grilled veggies & calamari salad, the pineapple tart, the curries, and the list could go on and on and on. I was pleased to see the chef and his (cutest toddler ever) daughter, and I would congratulate him all day everyday if I could. We even got to enjoy a stunning floating breakfast all accustomed for by Ali! I can’t describe this place enough. I had high expectations, but Coral Rock exceeded them and then some! Please don’t base your decisions on old, outdated reviews; you might miss out on the greatest experience ever. Note that I’m writing this wit

Siamo tornati al FUN Beach e confermo la mia recensione super dettagliata di qualche anno fa!.... Il piccolo Resort ha un gran fascino e negli anni ha subito delle migliorie, come le suite fronte mare con la piccola piscina fronte bungalow , la boutique e qualche dettaglio in piu'.... La zona invece che fino a poco fa era tranquillissima e selvaggia a nord di Jambiani ho notato che ha avuto una grande espansione con hotel e ristoranti nuovi...quindi ideale anche per fare 4 passi la sera e cambiare Ristoranti per pranzo o cena. Ho trovato un ottimo Ristorante interno con piatti interessanti del quale scrivero' una recensione a parte . Lo staff è come sempre amichevole e disponibile alcuni conosciuti da anni frequentando gli hotel della stessa proprietà, ci hanno accolto sempre con un sorriso e a braccia aperte ! pulizia ottima ovunque , un giardino meraviglioso. Lo consiglio sia a famiglie con bambini che a coppie , vicinissimo a Paje raggiungibile in bici o in taxi in pochi minuti. Mare di fronte bello, soprattutto con la marea intermedia dove è possibile fare il bagno a riva , consiglio scarpette da scoglio per esplorare il fondale con la bassa marea e di uscire in barca per fare snorkeling vicino alla barriera corallina! A presto!
