Downside is that they do not take care of the beach in front of the property. Stairs to the beach are broken apparently for many months. Otherwise nice stay, resort grounds are being clean every day. ##### Lada Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Luther Jun 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Our first time at Zanzibar and this hotel was amazing.
