Dikke aanrader

9.0

Echt een geweldig uitzicht, tegenover het rock restaurant en direct aan het strand. Heerlijk bed, uitstekend geslapen, alle faciliteiten aanwezig (denk aan föhn en allerlei kookgerei). Gratis water wat dagelijks bijgevuld wordt, overal trouwens in de hotels, super chill. Het ontbijt vonden wij eenvoudig maar prima. Geen bedjes om te zonnen maar een puur strand zonder bedjes is ook een heel mooi gezicht. Mooi en groot appartement met balkon en uitzicht op zee. Op de tweede verdieping zaten 3 appartementen naast elkaar en om je appartement te bereiken loop je via de balkons. Kan gezellig zijn maar als het vol zit, kunnen wij ons voorstellen dat dit wat inbreuk geeft op je privacy. Wij zaten in het laagseizoen dus waren ongeveer de enige toeristen, kregen een upgrade en voor ons echt een cadeautje, zo rustig, alle aandacht en prettige sfeer. Als je als Nederlander Afrika spannend vindt? Ga dan hierheen! Joop komt uit TWENTE, net als wij dus dat zijn altijd goeie lui ;)... (Helaas was hij niet aanwezig maar bij toeval, op het moment dat wij daar verbleven, kwam er een artikel uit in de Twenste Courant Tubantia) over Joop en zijn leven in Afrika dus je zal je er waarschijnlijk direct thuis voelen en mooie verhalen aanhoren. En eerlijk? Waar in de wereld vind je zulke mooie stranden?? Algemene ervaring Zanzibar Wij zijn naar Zanzibar geweest in het laagseizoen (regenseizoen) en dat is ons echt ontzettend goed bevallen. Ondanks dat het officieel het regenseizoen is, viel de regen bij ons vooral ’s nachts en hadden we overdag meestal gewoon mooi weer. Het grote voordeel: er waren nauwelijks toeristen, wat zorgde voor een hele rustige en ontspannen sfeer. Omdat veel hotels niet vol zaten, kregen we regelmatig gratis upgrades naar kamers met zeezicht, echt een luxe die je in het hoogseizoen waarschijnlijk niet snel krijgt. We verbleven onder andere in Jambiani en Paje. Prachtige plekken met witte stranden en een helderblauwe zee.

Ontbijt was in vergelijking met andere plekken waar we verbleven wat eenvoudig maar wel prima. Er is weinig te doen in de omgeving maar je komt hier wel echt tot rust.

Det store opholdsrum var dejligt at opholde sig i om aften. Terrassen ligger i skjul af planter for restauranten, det er dejligt at kan sidde i sin lejlighed både inde og ude uforstyrrede tros mennesker i restauranten. Personalet er utrolig søde, hjælpsomme og venlige.

Jeg kunne godt have brugt en bordlampe ved sengen så der var muligt at læse om aften. Der var en del byggestøj fra naboen.

Don’t forget to pack your sunglasses. As you walk along this sandy white beach you’ll need them. The view of Zanzibar is glowingly bright! In many ways we must conclude that it felt like strolling in the light of paradise. Your nervous system will find ultimate peace here. We would have wished to stay longer! All is in harmony. The staff will joke and smile sincerely with you and the owners will ask you curious questions about your travels. In other words we felt like we landed in a home with good friends around and we really missed the warm and loving atmosphere when we left. The apartment is magnificent. Clean and modernly well decorated. Working aircon, hot showers, fully equipt kitchen, daily roses on a freshly made bed, pancakes with Nutella for breakfast, a local beer in high tide evenings, a stroll down the beach to the blue lagoon filled with fish for snorkelling, quiet nights, morning runs along the beach and "Black" the cutest dog ever - the list goes on. It’s rare to find a place that feels personal on an Island with many tourists around, but this is your place. The owners love for this place is contagious. We hope to be back one day and wish all of you the best for the future. Hope to see you again. The best place we stayed in Zanzibar by far.
