Guest Review: EVERYTHING!!!! The food is sooo good i wanted to stay longer but fully booked. Hands down one of the best hotels in Zanzibar
Guest Review: Wonderful experience. The moment we arrived we were greeted with smiles, a welcome drink, Information about the resort, and felt a calming and friendly atmosphere. When we entered our rooms we smelled a very pleasing scent of spices, which made us feel at home. To avoid plastic we got glass bottles that we could fill with drinkable water at any time (which is needed in this heat). We didnt find this in other resort hotels of similiar prices. The whole resort is clean, well kept in good shape, the Pool and the viel of the sea is great. Food and drinks are also really good and worth their price. Couldnt recommend this place more. When we checked out hotel Manager Hazel offered us a late checkout Option free of Charge because the next guests were çoming late anyway. Also something i never heard from any hotel ever before. So we stayed until 1 o clock because check in in the next accomodation was 2 pm. Just one example for the helpfulness and great Service we experienced in the zanziblue. Thank you so much !
