Enestående hotel med fantastisk service
Pros:

Virkelig smukt hotel med en skøn frodig have fuld af blomster og tropiske fugle, en dejlig infinity pool, lækker pool bar og rigtig god restaurant. Hotellet ligger lige ud til havet. Personalet er fantastisk og virkelig servicemindede og engagerede. De vil gøre alt for gæsterne, har man indtryk af. Værelserne er store og lækre med altan ud mod haven. Fantastisk morgenmadsbuffet. Lækkert fitnessrum med den smukkeste havudsigt.

A wonderful, Unforgettable experience.
Pros:

The place was central to most activities around the island, as such it was easy to move around. The hotel staff is superb, very kind, very courteous. They truly made us feel very welcome. The saying that goes “people always remember how you made them feel”, we truly wont forget how the people at Zanzibella made us feel. The amenities, including all the complimentary one’s at the hotel are also great, plus the Spa (Edna was wonderful). The rooms are spacious, toilet is separate from the bathroom which is convenient (everything you see on their pics is exactly as is). Another note worthy good experience is the room service every night for pest control (to keep mosquitoes out).

Cons:

There is very little I didn’t like. But the one thing is cats (I am not a fan of 4 legged animals), however they are well mannered and I managed to exist cordially with them during my stay.

Glad we chose Zanzibella!
Pros:

If we ever come back to Zanzibar, Zanzibella is a no brainer. Great food, charming ambiance of the place, cozy private beach, nice pool connected to the bar and much more. But what we loved the most was the absolutely amazing staff who went above and beyond to make sure we were most comfortable. Special thanks to waiters Hellen and Chiki, bartender Emmanuel and manager Florence!

Cons:

Everything was great.

Pros:

It’s clean and it’s private. The local staff was a delight and very helpful and respectful. Made sure we are comfortable.

Cons:

The breakfast is horrible, they don’t have many options. The pastries were stale even though they were made daily. The Mojo restaurant food was not value for money, most guest eat outside. Improve the food

Sensacional
Pros:

Tudo foi perfeito do início ao fim. O hotel é maravilhoso, a comida sensacional e todos os staffs são muito amigáveis e sempre querendo ajudar e saber se estava tudo bem. O spa também é ótimo, tive a melhor massagem da minha vida. Muito conforto nos quartos e você percebe todo o cuidado que a equipe tem em fazer você se sentir bem a todo momento. Recomendo demais!
