Zilwa has been a fantastic holiday and an unforgetable experience. Stunning grounds and views from the three seperate coves within the hotel grounds. First of all I have to mention one staff member in particular Favour. He is at the main bar SiroKann. A true gent who made my wife and I feel so welcome and left us wanting for nothing. He is a real credit to the hotel and please if managment read this he is a true credit to your establishment. The wow factor starts as you enter the complex, you will know what I mean if you come here. Given the location and traffic you will average an hour or so transfer. And the rooms are available from 1400 thats 2pm on arival. We were very lucky and were in our room by 1300 1pm. So I highly recomend having a pair of swim shorts in your hand luggage so you can head straight to the beach or pool. And grab a bottle of sun cream from your luggage before they are taken by the valet. The rooms are lovely, have a simple clean design, beds in our room were comfortable as I prefer a firmer mattress. So sleep was no problem for me. The food also was outstanding each of the resturants (Mauritian, Indian, Thai, lobster beach) were some of the best food I have had. The main buffet was good enough with a nice selection of meats curries and veggies. Not the most selection I've seen from an all inclusive hotel. But the restaurants more than made up for this by a long shot. There is a little food shop (free for all inclusive) that you can stock up your mini fridge daily. The watersports house offers snorkling and glass bottom boat trips, paddleboards hobby Cats for those that know how to sail. And best of all.. The hotel's own cateraman boat trip is 1800 rupies that about 34 British pounds and includes a whole day with lunch provided onboard, snorkling and chilling on a local island. Plenty of Rum and food vibes it's true value for money. Do bring water shoes. Though I didnt see any sea urchins here, they are about as well as coral the volcanic rock can be very sharp. So bear that in mind. Now I will mention that as a lover of the water and snorkling etc yes you can go on trips to see sea life. However, from the beaches here there is nothing to see, the reef here is very shallow and silty sand again hidden sharp things can catch you out. That being said the sand is still lovely and I didnt always wear shoes just trod carefully. But if you want to snorkel go out on the trips. Not from the shore. There are a few locals who walk the beach offering dolphin and turtle trips. We didnt use them however, saw pictures from other guests and you will literally swim with dolphins and trutles in the wild no cages or crulty here. Just fantastic experiences. We paid via the tour operator to go on a big catamaran out west and saw a pod swimming next to the boat which was an unforgetable moment. There is a great shaded kids pool for babies and toddlers to keep out the direct sun which I thought was a nice touch. Food wise I didnt see
