Séjour parfait à Zanzibar Sunrise

10.0

Notre cabane en front de mer était charmante, avec une petite terrasse ^rivative, un parasol et deux transats directement sur la plage. Les espaces communs de l'hôtel sont très agréables : deux piscines et un restaurant excellent. L’hôtel propose aussi de nombreuses activités (visite de village, découverte des coraux, snorkeling, yoga…). Le personnel est très accueillant et le petit-déjeuner était délicieux. Un endroit où l’on se sent bien.

Perfect place to relax

10.0

Perfect place to unwind and relax. They have board games, a book exchange, beach games, lovely pools and great private spaces by the bungalows to relax. The snorkelling trip we planned with them was great, and the staff were all lovely. Highly recommend! The mosquito net worked well and they sprayed the rooms with repellant while we were at dinner each night

− Nothing! A few things to be aware of - but none impacted our stay. If we went again we would take our own snorkelling kit, but they provide swim shoes to protect against the urchins so we didn’t need those. They also don’t have reliable WiFi, and there isn’t ac - but the fan and opening the door in the evening was plenty to cool it down

Gentillesse et serviabilité du personnel. Petit déjeuner exceptionnelle.

Agréable mais sans plus.

6.0

Hôtel à taille humaine, bien situé en bord de mer avec de bons équipements et un agréable jardin.

− Le service à table trop long, la manager n’est pas impliquée auprès de ses clients et notamment pour un accident nécessitant une prise en charge hospitalière. À aucun moment elle s’est intéressée au blessé alors qu’elle été informé. Les activités extérieures à l’hôtel sont sur chers et surfacturées.

9.0

Such friendly staff and amazing location on the beach! Breakfast was amazing every morning and all meals at the restaurant too. The reef walk as well as Farah’s yoga class were excellent

− The service at the restaurant takes a while as other reviews have said. Echoing other reviews as well, the dolphin tour didn’t feel the most ethical with boats chasing them down
