But if you want to have an amazing experience and welcoming to Zanzibar don’t stay here there are many more other places to stay that will give you that magical experience for the same price.

The staff are not welcoming at all 7am you’ll hear them make noise right outside your room , we stayed here for New Year’s Eve and day. The fact...
