Hotel ratings by criteria:
We came across this hotel by accident, the price was right (cheap).
I was satisfied with the rest, the hotel has a fairly large territory, as for Zanzibar hotels, there are not very many tourists, for breakfast and dinner it could take 5-7 tables in total.
Very comfortable pool with warm water +28+30 degrees, you can swim in it at night. There are always sun loungers by the pool. You will not see the beauty of the ocean in this area, to see it, you need to travel around the island, the island is not big and for a vacation you can visit all the main beaches of Zanzibar, local taxi drivers who you will meet at the entrance to the hotel will help you, We bought from they have excursions, ordered a taxi, rented a car, everything is safe, they are very contact, they have not encountered deceit and fraud on the island.
The cost of a taxi to stone town and back (wait as long as you need 2-4 hours) 30 dollars. Full day Nungwi + Kendwa $40.
We also traveled by bus to Stone Town cost 400 shillings, 30 minutes drive bus number 502. To Nungwi the cost of a minibus is 2000 shillings, an hour ride number 116.
You can also rent a car for a day for $30. The roads in Zanzibar are good, there is a primer and asphalt, there are no potholes.
There is a village near the hotel, the residents are friendly, we bought vegetables, fruits and bread and water.
Water 1.5 liter 1000 shillings bottle, tomato-cucumbers are sold in bunches but goes 2000 shillings/kg
very tasty avocado 1000-1500s/piece
you can buy pineapples, mangoes, bananas, drinking coconut 1000 shills / pcs.
oranges 1000 sil / 5 pcs.
flatbread and yeast bread 500s/piece
Fishermen also sell fresh seafood nearby, they immediately fry it, but we did not order it.
You can buy fried chicken, half a carcass is 5000 shillings, the carcasses are small, they don't have broilers.
We ate breakfast at the hotel (they are meager by the standards of Turkey and Egypt, but enough, some fruit, two eggs and baked goods with peanut butter, honey and jam, they could give sausages, naval pasta and a couple of times there were cutlets. Coffee, tea and fresh passion fruit was usually.
Lunch and dinner self-catering, ordered at our hotel
lobster 40.000, slave, squid or octopus with potatoes 18-22.000s. Pizza 18-000s. Expensive, as for the prices of the island, we often ate at restaurants on the beaches that we visited.
They took 5 loaves of curd sausage from the house, ate it all, took 3 kg of caramel, handed it out to children in the village.
You can take a kettle if you like coffee, tea, canned food.
The rooms are comfortable, large, wi-fi caught in the rooms.
The TV did not work, there was a fan, air conditioning, a hairdryer and a refrigerator, a boiler in the bathroom.
There were mosquitoes, take mosquito spray. There were not many of them, but still it could be malaria, we bought malaria tablets at a local pharmacy, the price for them is 10.000 shillings per pack for 1 person course.
Alcohol was bought at a liquor store in Stone Town, near the Freddie Mercury House, where everything is cheaper than in a hotel.
I changed dollars at the airport immediately after arrival, for a visa I gave 100 dollars a bill of 2006 (a visa costs 50 dollars, for two), then I changed 400 dollars at the exchanger at the airport. Also, old banknotes of 2006 were taken without problems and at the usual rate
Later, in Stone Town and the hotel at the reception, only new banknotes were changed, the old ones were not taken or they offered a very low rate.
I flew from Join Up from Kyiv, we didn’t have a hotel guide, in the evening after 18-00 on the eve of our departure there was a note at the reception with the time of our transfer.
The plane flew from Kyiv with landing for refueling in Luxor, all without delay, we refueled 55 minutes in one direction, 40 minutes in the opposite direction.
For an additional fee to the tour operator 350 gr (one way) I bought a seat in the 4th row by the window.
It’s inexpensive and worth it, you take a picture of Mount Kilimanjaro, it’s not as buzzing ahead as in the second half of the plane and you won’t be pushed by people who go to the toilet in the tail, I stood in line for 30 minutes to go to the toilet (I spotted it on purpose)
We were not fed during the flight, either order food ($15) or take care of yourself, you can buy coffee, tea, hot soups, snickers, etc.
Back we were carrying huge shells, which my husband bought 4 pieces on the beach, the suitcase was enlightened, they began to inspect us, they said that the shells were not allowed, but somehow we passed.
Although such shells are sold in duty free and at a normal price.
In duty free there is a large selection of souvenirs, if you did not have time to buy something, or you have shillings left, you will spend them at the airport.
To honor on the island, I recommend the beaches of Kegndva, Nungwi, Mtende, we chased dolphins near the island of Mnemba, went to the island of Nakupenda.
We were at the spice farm, at the petting zoo in Nungwi, we went around the entire Stone Town ourselves.
