“superb hotel worth more than 5 stars”

Reviewed February 7, 2012

This superb hotel (ex-kempinski) can only be described in superlatives. In this hotel, where management manages, everything is organised in a perfect way. It is super clean, well located, the staff is perfectly drilled (one should however take into account that we are in Africa and not in a 5 star hotel in Monte Carlo) and of utmost kindness. The...

“Melia Zanzibar”

Reviewed January 30, 2012

Melia Zanzibar is probably a nice stop on a safari trip but not worth 24 hours travel from Europe. First of all, you must remember that Zanzibar is in Africa. So don't dream about a "special" place. This is Africa with 7 electric black out a day, Internet on and off all week long (more off than on) and a... More

Dear Plegranche, Thank you very much for your comments, we are always have to receive good comments and ready to learn from the critics. Unfortunately in this occasion, most of the faults do not depend on us, the power problems depend on the external network. So we have our electrical generator 24/7 ready to start working straight away after every... More
