    We did a city tour, and it was informative. The unpaved streets, and all the dust and dirt was a problem with our sinuses. The people was friendly, and we understand they have to be a little pushy in order to make a living.

    Zanzibar is beautiful and a very safe city.

    Zanzibar is beautiful and a very safe city. They have an organized transport system for tourists . I travelled to Nungwi beach and it was really a beautiful place. It was not crowded and the water was very clear and the water sports activities and so many . There are very many eateries all around . I would highly recommend Zanzibar.

    Activities are great but most places are teeming with tourists. It's probably better to be taken for activities privately (price will be about the same anyways). Better to book through existing tour operators because the freelance guides always add extra onto the price. Night Food market is a must but be careful not to be ripped off, they just handed you plates of food & then charged a ridiculous amount afterwards. Cape Town Fish Market is a must for a sunset dinner. Prison Island & Nakupenda was average, they were overrun with people. The Spice Farms & Slave Chambers are a must to understand the passed history & Coral Caves have stunning natural pools to swim in deep underground. The North has Mnemba Island, great for snorkeling. The East is windy & good for Kite Surfing. The South is supposed to be good for deepsea fishing but myself & another group only caught white Snapper, no Game Fish.

    Very busy city, lots of traffic & motor cycles. Communication was slow . Very expensive place . Couldn’t find any malls. Lots of tourists . Very interesting shopping at indoor malls & buying fruit off the street. Lots of negotiations for the USD .

    Zanzibar is an amazing destination.

    Zanzibar is an amazing destination. Don't just go to the beaches also visit the villages and learn the culture. Try Sea Walk and Quad Bike is a must. Don't leave Zanzibar without going to Mnemba Island for Dolohines best sighting. In stone town don't miss Stone Town Cafe for their Hearty Beef Burger they call it Sandwitch. At night just stick to Forodhani for all kinds of food.

    Old town is amazing.

    Old town is amazing. Walking around the lanes and back roads showed the real character of the place - particularly when you get outside of the "tourist" hub. No need for tour guides - just grab a map and explore. Also visit the fish market for a real look into the day to day life of the locals and fishermen.

    The place is very nice, good location (near to local shops), and the staff is friendly. It is a shame the beach is polluted, there is a lot of broken glasses on the beach which makes dangers to walk in a beautiful area. There few miscommunication with staff regarding service but nothing that would compromise your stay, we had a local taxi well arrange for transferring to the airport. I liked the flexibility to make payment (cards or cash or both). There were few adorable stray cats, so beautiful creatures, I wish they were better looked after.

    The rooms and the entire hotel are so beautifully furnished and decorated, not to mention the most pretty bathrooms I've ever seen! The view from the balconies facing the Ocean, the fantastic pool at the very center of the hotel, the hotel's location right on the beach while at the same time with a walking distance to everything you wish to reach in Stonetown. The breakfast was excellent with a broad variety of choices for all tastes, and the staff members are professional and welcoming. We will definitely be back!

    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.
