Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Honestly, it’s in an amazing location I can’t fault it. But if you want to have an amazing experience and welcoming to Zanzibar don’t stay here there are many more other places to stay that will give you that magical experience for the same price. The food isn’t so bad tbh but the didn’t have much of the menu eg something so simple like fruits. The staff are not welcoming at all 7am you’ll hear them make noise right outside your room , we stayed here for New Year’s Eve and day. The fact that every room is full booked but yet no on stays on site says a lot , they don’t give you any sense of welcoming when checking in , help with bags or anything I felt for some family’s with children that needed help luckily we only had one child. They literally didn’t have no new years spirit next door villas had so much going on you’d feel jealous in wishing you booked with them. Don’t waste your time unless you don’t care about the hospitality and just location and somewhere to sleep.
