Very nice accommodation, everything in walking distance. Beautiful beach below the restaurant. Food excellent.Had a problem with the air con but was upgraded. Hotel uses European electric sockets, not Tanzanian sockets. Can get adaptors from Reception. But bring European adaptors.

What an incredible holiday! The staff really make this place and are always so friendly and welcoming. We had the most amazing upgrade from the one of the female managers at reception. Thank you so much. This made what was already going to be a wonderful holiday into something unforgettable. I can not recommend this place more highly! The food variety is great and you can book excursions through a tour provider at the hotel. Everything was seamless and easy to navigate. Also a very special thank you to Neema who cleaned our room everyday to perfection!

First off: ALL the staff are incrediblly helpful, friendly, polite and attentive, including reception, restaurant waiters and food servers, pool staff and entertainment, cleaners, gardeners, management and even the guy in the Suntours office. Food and drink: Breakfasts, coffee and breakfast all very good and varied - easily have a different style breakfast every day. Main pool handily sited next to main ginger bar with wide range of alcoholic /non-alcoholic cocktails, beer, wine. Informal swim up option or drinks brought to lounger, as you prefer. Loved the option for afternoon tea /coffee with cakes or sandwiches, in the shade. We loved the buffet lunches and dinners, with choice of where to sit (sun/ cool/ shade/ breeze etc, depending on daily whim) and the ongoing jackdaws vs. bamboo sticks entertainment. The "happy birthday" waiting staff harmonies were great. Loved the cool dude on electric piano with his reggae/ zydeco / blues fusion vibes in the main restaurant in the evenings. We managed 3 trips to the Krystal fusion restaurant (excellent, our fave) and one to the steak. The evening entertainment was very good, although we preferred the bands and musicians to the rap/breakdancing. But very varied and aomething for everyone. They even ran the odd game of bingo. The beach, the sea and the views were just wonderful. The beach sellers were not overly intrusive and actually quite friendly. Very easy to get a kayak or paddleboard, etc.

Information about the area

Zanzibar Island, Tanzania
Discover Zanzibar Island: A Paradise in Tanzania Welcome to Zanzibar Island, an idyllic paradise nestled in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Tanzania. Known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning natural beauty, Zanzibar offers an unforgettable experience for travelers seeking adventure, relaxation, and a taste of the exotic. Whether you're wandering through the labyrinthine streets of Stone Town, soaking up the sun on pristine beaches, or diving into the crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life, Zanzibar promises a journey like no other. Begin your adventure in Stone Town, the historic heart of Zanzibar and a UNESCO World Heritage site. This bustling town is a melting pot of cultures, where African, Arab, Indian, and European influences blend seamlessly. Stroll through its narrow alleyways and discover ancient buildings, bustling markets, and the scent of spices that fill the air. Don't miss the chance to visit the House of Wonders, the Old Fort, and the Sultan's Palace, each offering a glimpse into the island's storied past. As the sun sets, enjoy a meal at one of the rooftop restaurants, where you can savor local delicacies while overlooking the shimmering waters of the Indian Ocean. Zanzibar's beaches are nothing short of spectacular, with powdery white sands and turquoise waters stretching as far as the eye can see. Nungwi and Kendwa, located on the northern tip of the island, are renowned for their lively atmosphere and vibrant nightlife, making them perfect for those looking to socialize and dance the night away. For a more tranquil experience, head to the east coast, where the serene beaches of Paje and Jambiani offer a haven for relaxation and water sports like kite surfing and snorkeling. No matter which beach you choose, you'll be met with breathtaking views and the soothing sounds of the ocean. Beyond the beaches and historic sites, Zanzibar is also home to lush spice farms and verdant forests. Embark on a spice tour to learn about the island's role in the spice trade and to sample exotic spices like cloves, nutmeg, and vanilla. For nature enthusiasts, a visit to Jozani Forest is a must. This protected area is home to the rare Red Colobus monkey and a variety of other wildlife. Wander through its lush trails and experience the island's unique flora and fauna up close. With its diverse offerings, Zanzibar Island is a destination that captivates the senses and leaves a lasting impression on all who visit.
