We have stayed for only five days at Gemma but we have decided to go back the soonest possible to enjoy again a great vacation. The hotel is very well positioned, all the rooms are facing the ocean, having a really great view. The beach is fabulous, the colors are very bright: white sand, blue ocean, green vegatation. The hotel... more

I personally did not stay at this hotel, but rather at one, further down the beach. But felt i had to make a complaint about how we were treated by Gemma's security gaurds on the beach. We were taking a walk along the beach and came across the stretchers upon the gemma dell est beach, we decided to stop and... more

Fabulous hotel in fabulous location. Amazing gardens, pool complex and lots to do as all inclusive. Food was really good with sumptious buffet every day, but good choice of snacks if preferred. Read few previous reviews where people were critical of staff but had no problems. All very friendly and very helpful. Rooms clean, tidy and decent size. Nice touch... more

I stayed at the Gemma Del Est during new years. I was there with my parents and a big group of family friends. We had a fantastic time there, not only were all the staff friendly and had a good standard of english unlike other places but the entire atmosphere was amazing. We met some great people who were there,... more

Gemma del'est hotel: Staff in all area's very polite, and could speak a little or a lot of English, depending on their job roll / title. The main restaurant could have had a better selection of western food I'd give this 7/10. The food was of a high standard, but some dishes could have been warmer. The rooms were very... more

We got married at the Gemma Dell Est on 22nd January 2008. It was perfect in every way. The staff were amazing, they couldn't do more for us. The stayed for 3 weeks and everything about the hotel was wonderful. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was fantastic. The beach was out of this world, rivals Thailand and... more

We have just returned from 8 days at this resort . This was a perfect place to relax after a rather hectic flying safari on the mainland. The beach is one of the best I have seen anywhere in the world. Sand pure white, and feels like powder ! The pool is amazing. All the pool staff from the towel... more

We came across this hotel by accident after wandering down the beach in Kendwa (the Lonely Planet begrudgingly barely mentioned it). As our hotel (Amaan Resort) was less than fantastic with a dreadful restaurant and we were tired of the only two other places to eat, this was a great find albeit in a different price league. We were suspicious... more

Well where do i start, we have just returned from a 10 day holiday at this hotel, it is amazing. from the moment we arrived we were treated very sprecial as we also go married while there. We stayed in a suit which had a massive living area plus a large 4 poster bed, the views from the garden of... more
