Lovely stay in Zanzibar
21 Sept 2026
After 2 weeks on safari, our stay at this hotel was as relaxing and enjoyable as we needed! The hotel resort was huge, with a fully equipped gym and spa, beach access and pools. The hotel staff were especially kind and helpful with food and drinks. We also played volleyball which was super fun, so thanks to Sebastian, Samil and Hames (who also helped to remove the sea urchin spikes from my foot!). A lovely location with lovely people.
