Exceptional and will definitely return

10.0

Very quiet location and very close to the ocean. The food was very good with fresh fruits and juices daily but what I loved was how friendly and welcoming everyone was. I would definitely come back here again.

No WiFi in the rooms but available in the shared space but not a major problem. I just needed to do a bit of work however if purely on holiday the lack of access won’t hurt.

Very personal service, wonderful staff, impeccable grounds. The owners are extremely friendly. Also the location is the best, steps away from the beach

Nothing at all

A very comfortable and relaxing stay.

10.0

We very much enjoyed our stay at Dive Planet. The hosts and staff team were very friendly and went out of their way for us. Nothing was a problem (arranging activities, transfers, ordering in certain items, additional diving tuition, etc). The hotel has everything necessary for a relaxing holiday with the added convenience of an on-site scuba school. The diving, guiding, tuition and rental equipment were all of a high quality. The meals were all of a good quality. Breakfast consisted of fresh fruit, juice, and eggs with various breads - all very fresh and delicious. Dinners were similarly of a very good standard. Our room was very spacious, comfortable and clean. We would recommend this hotel and will return.

There were occasional power and Wi-Fi outages. Obviously this was not the hotel's fault though and is more a feature of staying on a tropical island in this part of the world.

Super freundliches Personal in allen Bereichen, stets sehr bemüht alle (Ausflugs-)Wünsche zu erfüllen. Großes Zimmer, das immer tip top gereinigt war. Schöne Gartenanlage und ein sauberer Pool mit Liegen und Schirmen, in dem man sich gerne erfrischen mag. Das Essen, egal ob Frühstück, Mittag- oder Abendessen, war immer eine sehr feine Küche.

AMAZING! WONDERFUL! NO REGRET! BEST PLACE IN UTENDE AND MAFIA ISLAND!

Si on pouvait donner 10*, on le ferait. On a TOUT aimé!!! L’accueil chaleureux, la gentillesse de Gianna et du staff, la propreté, le confort, bref, tout était merveilleux! La nourriture était délicieuse. Des fruits et des jus de fruits tous les matins avec des saveurs incroyables!!! On s’est senti tellement chouchoutés. Un petit paradis entouré de palmiers, de fleurs exotiques, le doux son des oiseaux au matin et des ciels étoilés époustouflants. Notre lodge était PARFAIT! Le centre de plongée est moderne, super bien équipé, très professionnel, organisé et sûr. Mon fils a plongé et j’ai fait du snorkeling. Je voyageais seule avec mon fils de 17 ans et on s’est toujours senti en parfaite sécurité. De plus, il y avait toujours du réseau, même à distance en haute mer lors des plongées et différentes excursions. Zéro souci à se faire! Un jour, j’ai oublié le safe ouvert avec pas mal de cash. Rien touché! Personnel de CONFIANCE! Une qualité si rare! N’hésitez pas à aller visiter le village de Utende qui se trouve juste à quelques minutes. Les gens sont très attachants. Je reviendrai ici sans hésiter. Je suis partie avec les larmes. Les propriétaires et tout leur staff font un travail extraordinaire. (Thanks Gianna, Deus, Michael, Waziri, Zai, Modi, et tous les autres dont je ne pas me rappelle leurs prénoms et je m’en excuse.) On ne pourra jamais les oublier et on espère y revenir bientôt! HIGLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Rien!
