I accidentally booked the wrong location thinking I was booking the one closest to the beach. But the rooms were massive either way and it was a short walk over. Loved all the pools and views to the ocean

    Zanzibar is an amazing destination.

    Zanzibar is an amazing destination. Don't just go to the beaches also visit the villages and learn the culture. Try Sea Walk and Quad Bike is a must. Don't leave Zanzibar without going to Mnemba Island for Dolohines best sighting. In stone town don't miss Stone Town Cafe for their Hearty Beef Burger they call it Sandwitch. At night just stick to Forodhani for all kinds of food.

    Old town is amazing.

    Old town is amazing. Walking around the lanes and back roads showed the real character of the place - particularly when you get outside of the "tourist" hub. No need for tour guides - just grab a map and explore. Also visit the fish market for a real look into the day to day life of the locals and fishermen.

    Stone Town in Zanzibar is the place to stay, for about three days. Enjoy the excellent beaches by staying at one or more, dividing your time between northern & southern beaches. preferable to hire a car for this purpose, as large distances & some activities like dolphin watching best from 6 to 7 AM, less crowd & more dolphins. each beach has something special, like Page beach for Kite Boarding. plenty of sea based activities. sothern beaches less crowded

    The city and the infrastructure needs more improvements. For someone who has no much access to white sand beaches this island can offer something. Freddy Mercury's museum was the biggest highlight to me personally.

    Stone city has a Lot of interesting history and architecture with a large Arabic influence from History. Also a nice beach front and lots of places to eat well. We walked everywhere once in our Hotel. The fish market was interesting and of course there is a lot of souvenirs to buy

    the best location, best food and staff! Breakfast was the best we had in Zanzibar with lots of choice and the staff were amazing. The rooms and hotel aesthetic were very cool and the location is literally on the beach and the main touristy spots of stone town.
