I took advantage of some low season specials here for a short break. The hotel is close to Stone Town with reasonable taxi fares from the hotel to town should one require. I opted to stay in however as it wanted to escape the hustle and bustle of town. For this, the hotel is perfect. This is a 3 star... More

Mtoni Marine gives the perfect blend of beach and city. It is close to Stone Town - a short taxi ride will get you there in minutes. But when the street vendors begin to get to you, you can retreat to this lovely resort and laze by the pool with views across to Prison Island. The gardens are lush and... More
