10/10 Excellent
Amazing hotel, great location set in nungwi on a beautiful beach with wonderful translucent waters . Amazing food and some of the most friendly and welcoming staff you could wish to meet from being greeted by Alfred on my arrival till he loaded my suitcase into the taxi as I left every single member of staff could not do enough to help.
The rooms were kept spotless by the cleaners. Super fast WiFi throughout the hotel complex.
As it’s Zanzibar you get occasional power costs but that’s island...

Opera Hotel

10/10 Excellent
Very nice hotel, well maintained and clean. The breakfast choice was quite limited but you could order your choice of eggs. The A La Carte menu was fantastic, Lobster or crab pasta was delicious and a very big portion as well as very reasonable prices. The only downside is the location which is on the main road and not as easy access to the sea by walking.

Excellent location with a close walk to the beach and restaurants etc. Room was clean and great value for money. Staff were helpful, brought us a hairdryer when we needed it and breakfast was plentiful! A great little place to stay.

Flame Tree Cottages were an amazing find! We stayed here for 3 weeks, and every day was perfect! The staff are a complete credit to the hotel. They are super helpful, always smiling and nothing is too much trouble.
The cottages are super cute, and positioned as such you don’t have neighbours, just your own beautiful gardens to look over.
The food is amazing (especially the jumbo prawns, chapatis, and coconut pumpkin curry) and the restaurant is a front row seat for the wonderful sunset. There...

We stayed at the the Zalu for a week in October. We both had the most amazing holiday, the service at the hotel was lovely and had a really personal touch as is to be expected from a 5 star hotel. The staff were attentive and helpful in organising day trips. The beach and pool area were simply out of this world and the food in the restaurants was sublime. Whilst the portions initially seemed small after 3 or 4 courses we were both extremely satisfied as the food was just so good. The suite was...
