Jambiani Zanzibar, Jambiani, Tanzania – Great location - show map
A small place with intimate unique feel and great restaurant - best seafood / any food we had in 3 weeks in Zanzibar. Worth every penny eaten in a small banana garden. Friendly attentive staff that understand customer service. We booked last minute and have no regrets. Not on a beach per say, but their Bar is and you can walk over in 2 min and enjoy their great food and nice beach lounge. Vert enjoyable relaxed no shoes stay!

We spent the day at the Beach bar, good playlist, delicious fish skewers and samosa; In he evening they proposed a Tuna Trio so fresh! The room was on the village side, as we love to wake up for the sunrise over the ocean we ran to the beach to enjoy it. Villagers are so friendly and we felt really in security in Jambiani.
