1. Great location. 2. Beautifully appointed and decorated in an Arabic style. The suite we stayed in was massive and very comfortable. 3. Excellent food and drink. The cocktails are superb. Although we went all inclusive drinks were extra but reasonably priced. 4. A very personal atmosphere and service. Staff are helpful, genuine and easy to communicate with. They bent over backwards to make us feel welcome and to meet our every request. 5. Having stayed in a suite at Breezes for a week beforehand we very much preferred the Sultan Palace on almost every level - even though it does not have a swimming pool (which we understand will be remedied within the next year or so).

We stayed at Sultan's Palace after safari in kenya. The staff especially the manager Sylvia were great and so accommodating. The chef prepared vegetarian meals for my husband - and every effort was made to make our stay perfect - this is a quiet hideaway - very few suites but magnicient surroundings.

Title: Wow!

In the words of my kids - "this is the best hotel we've ever stayed in"! But, seriously, the hotel is excellent. Run like a boutique hotel on several acres by the Indian Ocean, it has spacious, carefully done up rooms. The room we stayed in was larger than an average New York City apartment and the bathroom alone was bigger than many studios. Mozzie nets and a large sea facing veranda complete the picture. The 'infinity' pool is excellent and there is WiFi in the main house. All this would by itself be great but the best part is the food. Full three course meals served at a table in the main house (indoors for dinner and outdoors for breakfast) and lunch served in an oceanside dining area, each meal different but all meals delicious (the fish in coriander sauce on day 1 was to die for!) My kids are vegetarian and Paola, the owner, produced enough variety over the few days we were there. Throw in the calm waters and the white sandy beach and you can't go wrong with this place

Title: Fantastic hotel with a lot of character and style!

We stayed in Sultan's Palace in September 2011. We got upgraded to a large suite with a fantastic view of the ocean, so that was a double whammy. Rooms are large, beautifully done and have fabulous views. the sit-outs with the large divans add to the charm. Paola was especially warm and took very good care of us. Her staff is also very nice and pampered us - from greeting us at the beach with coconut water, as we returned from snorkeling, to making us a special zanzibari meal. It was perfect! A big thanks to you for making our holiday special! We would definitely recommend Sultan's Palace to everyone, especially to couples looking for a quiet and idyllic holiday. We are vegetarians, and we got a good variety of food. The hotel itself is so beautiful, and has character. It is not like one of the many 5 star hotels that all look the same. The architecture and the way it is done up, is splendid.
