Please note, if your Travel Agent or Tour Operator has not advised you, this has just been confirmed for me by the hotel. The tour operator should pass on the discounted rate given by the hotel during the renovation period. The small pool will be available to all guests, whereas it is normally restricted access.

We were staying in the area and due to the fact this hotel was very high on my original booking list I was curious to see the property. We decided to visit the property and have lunch. We were so happy we chose Ras Nungwi instead after being harassed by the security people on the property. We showed them the... more

Arrival at Zanzibars' airport was relatively easy, we had come prepared... more

We had to mission around OR Tambo airport to get tickets reissued. Our flight was rerouted and... more

My wife and I have just returned from a weeks stay at La Gemma after a week in Kenya. On arrival at Zanzibar airport we wondered what we had done - it is literally the size of a Tesco Express! Our journey to La Gemma was a real eye opener - absolute poverty on the pot-holed dirt tracks that are... more
