First off, I want to thank Jessica for her communication and kindness during our stay. She was very helpful! Secondly, I appreciate the property manager for answering the phone for us when we were trying to find the location when we first got here. I was frustrated and he assured that he would come get us from wherever we were to make sure we made it to the property ok. The room was very clean and lovely. We stayed in the beach front villa. It was beautiful night and day. As an American (because you know we love our A/C), I was very happy about the cold A/C they had in the room. It was never hot and this was appreciated as Zanzibar is hot and humid. We had a hiccup in regards to the breakfast in the room/at the pool. I originally planned to have it on a specific day but it did not show up on that day. I spoke with the staff and they served it to us the next morning. We also had a late check out and i was very thankful they let us stay in the room past check out time. We were able to enjoy our in-room breakfast because of this and did not feel rushed at all. Shower great. Bed great. Very spacious room. The amenities in the room were also nice. I read online somewhere that the hotels typically try to keep the beach locals away from the property to the best of their ability. I will say, be prepared to constantly be sold to when trying to relax on the property. All day long , there was constantly “beach boys” trying to sell you stuff. I appreciate the security guard on the beach keeping the other tourist away from our beach swings. So many of them walked up and he kindly asked them to leave. This was nice because I feel like there would have been a line had he not been there to do this. It made us feel special. They arranged an airport drop off for us and got us on our way in time.

Set in Nungwi, 200 metres from Royal Beach, Canary Two & SPA offers accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a kids' club and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The hotel features an indoor pool, karaoke and room service.

The staff was amazing and really made sure, that we have everything that we need. Since the hotel on the pictures is currently under renovation, we got a room in the Canary Nungwi Hotel with a free room upgrade and free 60 minutes massage for each one of us. It would be better to place some information in the Booking.com description, that the hotel is a different one, but they really cared well for us at the other hotel, it was a great stay and they definitely made it up for that small confusion. They also let us stay a bit longer on our last day and gave us a different room, such that we could shower once more before heading to the airport in the late afternoon.

Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive - Adults Only features luxurious accommodation with private terraces offering Indian Ocean views. Facilities include an outdoor pool, private beach with watersports and a dive centre. The spa provides massages and a steam bath.

I loved touring the beautiful grounds, amenities, beach access and the watersports activities that could be done or purchased from the site. The staff were always friendly and helpful, "Jambo, Jambo!" Even saw one of them at a bazaar in stone town and he was the same cheerful person (Sadick from the poolside bar). The hotel is true luxury and lives up to its name.

    A small, cute bungalow hotel with a swimming pool and very good service. The manager Michael did everything to make our vacation worthy of 5 stars. For example, we had breakfast at 1 pm, because in the morning we went swimming with dolphins. In addition, we got a late check-out in addition. The restaurant's food was delicious, the wine was good and the beer was always cold.

    The owners had a very personal touch to all the guests. we could contact them 24/7 and they were more than helpful! Max ( the owner) even drove us to a hospital when we needed. They also helped us booking restaurants, attractions and a lot of tips. During our trip to Zanzibar we stayed at two other hotels too. 4 and 5 stars, and Babalao was definitely the best one!
