I had an incredible stay at Aiyana on Pemba Island, where the stunning beaches and peaceful setting truly made my holiday special. The rooms were beautifully designed and comfortable, providing a fantastic view of the ocean, though the dining experience could use some improvement in terms of flavor and speed. While the location offers a remote paradise away from the crowds, the service was sometimes a bit slow, especially when ordering meals. The pristine surroundings and luxurious accommodations certainly made up for any minor inconveniences.

My stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful, with amazing hospitality and a breathtaking view. The rooms were beautifully designed, spacious, and clean, while the dining experience was a highlight with delicious local cuisine. However, the access to the resort was a bit challenging due to the rough road, and service at times was slightly slow for orders. Overall, a luxurious and memorable experience well worth it.

My stay was nothing short of magical! The hotel felt like a personal haven where I was treated like royalty. The stunning rooms, exceptional service, and delicious food made for a luxurious experience.
