We booked at the Doubletree due to my Hilton Honors membership. It is a lovely resrot very difficult to find through the small windy and bumpy raods of Nungwi Village, about an hour by car from Stonetown. The resort is lovely, right on the beach with plenty of beach chairs and a refreshing pool. The staff was great (except for... More

This is a high class hotel. We stayed for three nights during our honeymoon and really didn't want to leave. They greet you with a smile, a very tasty cookie and a cold drink. And the high level of service never stops until you check out. Since we mentioned we're on our honeymoon we got free bottle of wine, a... More

I booked three nights here and got a great deal. All inclusive for €157 a night. I now know why. It was (very) low season, raining every day, and the place was virtually empty. (My fault accepted).The two major downsides are the location, as its miles from Stonetown, at least a $50 taxi ride, more if you book through the... More

Had a fantastic stay here April 5 - 7. I thought the rooms were beautiful and sparkling clean, especially compared to what I encountered on the rest of my African vacation. Service was slow but it is how they do things and after a while you get into the flow of it. The only downside for me was the location.... More

The hotel was beautiful situated at the beach in the north of Zanzibar. Big rooms with big beds, but our room smelled damp. The breakfast was great! We were disappointed about the service, especially in the reception desk.
