"Here is the English translation: ⸻ It was the holiday of a lifetime, all thanks to the fact that we could spend it at Hekaya. Everything was amazing! The hotel was beautiful and very well-maintained! The entire staff was lovely, extremely helpful and attentive. The view from the window — a dream come true! The beach was like something out of a fairy tale! And the food — incredible! Our taste buds were in heaven! Thank you for everything! We’ll be reminiscing about our stay in this wonderful place for a long time!"

"Excellent cozy boutique beach hotel recommended by friend, and we didn't regret following her advise! Clean, nice bathroom, good terrace, great personnel, beautiful location. Great choice of restarants nearby. Will go back one day hopefully soon. "

"What an amazing place. Even before we arrived I had been impressed. I wrote several emails to the owner, Inge, and received replies almost by return. All her replies were helpful and answered my queries. We were blown away with this wonderful place. They had built the hotel from scratch and it is obvious that they have thought of everything. Each detail is worked out. Even having a place to charge our phones which is always convenient. The rooms are perfect and all different. We had the 2 rooms in Kidoshi which were rather Arabic and 2 rooms in Asili House which were more African. Beautiful toiletries where you could choose the scent for your bath and for your room. Very comfortable beds and every amenity. There is a cabinet outside the room for cold drinks at all times. There is too much to mention but it was all perfect. The owner Inge and her son Tim clearly care a great deal about the hotel and in maintaining extremely high standards. Tim was always very friendly and helpful to us throughout our stay. Inge was away while we were there. The butler team was amazing, such lovely people and all very professional. The attention to detail and effort put into service each day and night was superb. All the staff were helpful and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. You can also play football, darts, boules, ladder golf and volleyball with the staff. The rooms are immaculate and cleaned regularly. Breakfast is from a vast choice and can be eaten anywhere. The all-day menu contains anything you might want. There is a new dinner menu with many choices every night. All delicious. We were an extended family of 9 people of varying ages and there was always something for all of us. Sometimes so much it was difficult to choose. The facilities are outstanding with spacious grounds, lots of sunbeds, hammocks, daybeds etc. There is always somewhere to sit or lie in the sun or shade. The grounds are well-kept and beautifully designed. It is hard to describe how perfect this place is. The location is on the beach. The tides go in and out quite a long way. It is interesting to walk on the sand (in reef shoes provided by the hotel) and see all the sea urchins, brittle stars and water snakes stranded in pools. We went on a Dhow boat and snorkelled with lots of fish, clams and anemones etc. We then went to an area full of star fish. Covering the bottom of the sand. There are other interesting trips we did to Stone Town, on quad bikes to a village, a spice tour and visit to the National Park to see Red Colobus monkeys. We didn’t want to leave and all want to return. I had hoped that my family would have a holiday of a lifetime………..they did!! I travel a lot all over the world……….this is one of the very best luxury places. "

"Our company group of over 30 people visited the venue. The organization and communication beforehand went smoothly, and the food tasted good. The staff were very friendly."
