Wow wow wow this hotel is truly amazing! The breathtaking view as you walk around the corner and into the bar is just incredible, photos do not do it justice.
The food at the Zilwa was all incredible. We tried every restaurant apart the Mauritian, and just couldn’t get any better. The buffet restaurant Karay has lots to choose from and always fresh. Make sure book the a la carte restaurants at the guest experience desk.
The rooms were lovely, clean and spacious. Everything you needed and great views wherever you were staying. There is a mini bar shop by the karay restaurant in which you can top up your mini bar in room for free if all inclusive.
Staff… just so friendly and welcoming, couldn’t do enough for us. Favour, Arvind, Daniela, Angie, Maeva, Victor and Lensley were the main staff that we had the most interaction with and always so happy to see us.
We did a sunrise boat excursion which we booked with guest experience and that was with a local fisherman called Dessie, we paid him direct. He was so lovely, hotel provides a little picnic too. Make sure you book that and he will also do a sunset boat trip too.
Big John on the beach also provides excursions which we did the dolphin and turtle half day and the inland day. Which both were just great.
All in all the hotel is just incredible, I will definitely be going back to the Zilwa! I loved it so much. They have literally thought of every single detail and I have no complaints whatsoever.
