I sailed as a sea captain all around the island, including Pemba island. I spent here almost 2 months altogether. From tourist places, I liked Nungwi beaches. You have to know, most of tourist resorts are situated outside of local civilization. If you want to go shopping or to the local restaurant, you need to order a taxi everytime and the prices are high. The food and alcohol is quite expensive even for europeans. The locals are kind, although sometimes annoying if they are selling something. I felt absolutely safe, more than in EU. Traffic in the inlands is terrible, try to avoid travelling on these roads. Negotiate the price (taxi etc) before drive. They are able to ask 50 USD for 3 kilometres of ride after. If I could decide, I would try another exotic islands. Zanzibar needs 5-10 years to improve the services for tourist, infrastructure etc.

Navigating Zanzibar City was surprisingly easy, with an array of transportation options available. The compact size of the city made it convenient to explore on foot, with many attractions within walking distance of each other. I would definitely suggest trying the local Swahili food for fresh fish and seafood.
For a visitor from South Africa, I found the price of food and drinks at restaurants relatively expensive.

Paradise Found: Zanzibar's Enchanting Beauty
Paradise Found: Zanzibar's Enchanting Beauty
Zanzibar is simply one of the best places on Earth. Its beaches are nothing short of breathtaking, with pristine sands so fine they feel like silk beneath your toes. The tranquil waters, gentle and calm, create a mesmerizing backdrop that captivates the soul. My love for this place knows no bounds; it's a sanctuary of unparalleled beauty and serenity.

Different styles from different times (african, muslim, maybe also european). Interesting experience is the market place and the night market for dinner under the stars. Also the hammam is worth to visit (with good gide)!

It was lovely and we got to see the history of the slave trade (albeit sadly as it was a horrendous practice). The beaches are also very beautiful (Jambiani Beach was where we mostly went.) The spice farm tour and markets were lovely as we got all kinds of fresh spices.
However, it is very tourist-centric. Payment is in dollars everywhere and people are always trying to sell you something. Feels very commercialised.
I stayed at this hotel with my husband. We booked the presidential suite with a sea view. Waking up in the morning and going out to her balcony to watch the sea, people on the beach and the ships was worth every single penny. Imagine just lounging on the balcony in the evening with the quiet bustle and ocean sounds. We loved it so much that we have decided to return to it on our last couple of days of vacation. The staff is super helpful and welcoming. They have amazing accommodations such as a pool where you can relax
Staff was kind and helpful. Especially bar tenders were flexible for special requests and they tried to do their best. Our package was all inclusive. Selection of drinks were quite enough for this package.
Hotel's location is little far from airport but it is exactly somewhere middle of the jungle. I can say I generally liked the atmosphere right over there and Swimming pool options were fine.
Room was okay. Especially I liked the balcony with garden view. Breakfast and Lunch menus were satisfying.
Forodhani is my second home in Stone Town. Competitive rates, big spacious rooms, and a nice basic breakfast to get you going. The hotel is in the best location. Across the road from Forodhani Park which is the central attraction in Stone Town for its famous night food markets. Also close to the beach. The hotel is a walking distance from the Ferry terminal. A great swimming pool on the rooftop. The staff is always great, welcoming, and considerate.
1) its in stone town,walking distance to all touristy places in zanzibar city
2) they have a pretty clean aprrment with all appliances in kitchen in proper working condition where you can even cook without any hassle.
3)great host and staff
4) normally there are many apartments in stone town but you get lost in the lanes,this one is right next to port and all places accessible easily without having to wonder around the small stonetown lanes.
The Hotel is well located in the heart of Stone Town. Our room was nice and spacious, so was the bathroom. Everything clean. There is a nice little pool, perfect for a quick refresh after exploring the city. The roof terrace is very nice, food was really good, although we didn‘t have breakfast as our flight was too early in the morning. Staff was nice and friendly, can totally recomend this place for a stay in Stone town.
I was so lucky to trust my gut . I had no expectations but I was blown away by the service , design and staff at Shoki Shoki . the hotel is new furnished with Swahili design . there is free wifi and it’s 2 min walk to all places I wanted to check out in Stone town . the manager was amazing and also offers transport to airport at small fee.
Breakfast was very delicious at only $3
The staff is most welcoming and smiles every time you walk by. The rooms are nice with a dish of fruit. The breakfast has many choices and they aim to please. The restaurant food is wonderful! The hotel has a lot of Arabic accents and the pool and grounds are well kept. You can walk right into Stonetown. The hotel is right on the beach. I would stay here many times over.
Wonderful historic house directly in stone town. The employees have been kind and caring. The room (Suite) was spacious and is decorated with historical Charme. The food and drinks are good and at a decent price. We also did the city tour, the spice farm tour as well as some transfers from the hotel. Good service abs customer orientation.
Everything!! It has an excellent location, close to every activity and place in Stone Town. The staff are quite nice and ready to attend to your needs. In one of our outings, it rained terribly, we had to run from the ferry to the hotel. Thank goodness the hotel was just close by. Great experience:)
Excellent location. While we only got to stay one night in Stone Town, this hotel was perfectly and conveniently located to be able to explore the area.
View from the presidential sweet to the beach was stunning.
Special shout out to Hajj for being so incredibly helpful.
Stay away from the hotel. The bad far outweighs the good. It may have been nice in its glory days.
Breakfast was acceptable. Although the coffee is the worst in Zanzibar. The view from the rooftop is nice. Location in stone town is very central.
Beautiful setting right on the beach, within walking distance of all stone town has to offer.. great buffet breakfast, friendly staff; beautiful pool in the main facility. The apartments are a block or so away from the main hotel.
The hotel was vintage and very beautiful. I liked that it was close by everything in Stone Town. The breakfast was delicious and the owner of the property and the staff are very welcoming and helpful.
Loved this Swahili stylish hotel with lots of historic details. Close to beach and sights in Stone Town. Walking distance to everything. Charming and comfy rooms. Very helpful staff in the reseption.
It is very well located in stone town. Some of the staff are very helpful and kind. The rooms are standard hotel rooms with good beds. The food is good and there are a lot of options for breakfast.
