“Jerusalema in Zanzibar 🩷🩷🩷”
Stunningly tropical gardens of this hotel are your first impression when arriving. The friendliest staff. Super clean. Beautiful close beach restaurant serving fresh and delicious food. Great tunes played creating a sensational, chilled experience in this exotic part of Africa. However, the strangest experience with the wine running after just one bottle, cocktail ingredients too and no one thought it odd when we bought our own wine in the village and the staff kindly stored it behind the bar, in the fridge for the remainder of our trip. Thank you to Ricardo, the new manager for the apology and wonderful conversation with insight of this amazing Island. We wish you well with your exciting plans to make a superb hotel even lovelier. Send photos of the new garden 💚

“Overall, it was amazing. Would definitely go back.”
The breakfast was okay and liked that there were options off the standard breakfast menu. The surrounding is so quiet and serene. The manager, I think her name was Brenda, acted very promptly and changed our room when we didn’t like the one we were placed in.

“A peaceful and comfortable stay with excellent dinner, clean rooms, and a relaxing quiet atmosphere.”
Overall, we had a comfortable stay. There was no buffet breakfast, which would have been nice, and since we visited during Ramadan, the city was understandably quieter and not as active. That said, the dinner was excellent and truly stood out. The mattress was firm and comfortable, and both the room and bathroom were clean and well kept.
