I stayed one night at Mangrove Lodge and overall had a very nice experience. The property is a beautiful, secluded compound with a really peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The lodge itself is very nice and well-maintained. The staff were exceptionally nice and helpful. There are two things future guests should know: First, the road to the lodge is in terrible condition - because of it, it takes a full 15-20 minutes just to get to the compound from the main road. Be prepared for a very bumpy, slow drive. Second, my only complaint about the lodge itself was that there was a noticeable smell of cigarette smoke in the room. I believe they allow smoking in the rooms. Despite those two points, I enjoyed my stay and would recommend it if you're looking for a quiet, secluded getaway with great service.

An amazing experience. Road going in very rough. But once you were there it was great. Body scrub and massage was very relaxing.

Very friendly staff. This is perfect if you want to relax from the city sound and all impressions. Located 45 min from Stone Town. Very green, almost as you located in a forest. Bush babies you can frequently see early mornings and evenings. Outside shower for each house. Good breakfast, even better dinner, good value for money.

Please make sure you read fine prints with lodge. I was told one thing from staff about airport transportation then another via fine prints. Luckily I had a hired driver to accommodate to follow through with consistent services provided

Top notch, wonderful experience! Grounds are gorgeous and creative! Everyone there is helpful and friendly. Loved the room and the fact it had an outdoor shower! Food was delish and fresh. I could go on and on! My only complaint is that we couldn't stay longer!
