Beho Beho
"Beho Beho was amazing"

Beho Beho Tree-house

I won't give any more away!"

"Beho Beho review"

Azura at Quilalea
"Quilalea - Honeymoon deal is great value"
The rooms are good (but not amazing) though the service and food is spot on. The island has 10 (or so) rooms and they are spread out enough so that you only ever see 8-10 people, even in the bar area.
The diving was good (though Mafia Island is definitely better), but strong tides play havoc with the visibility. We didn't go deep sea fishing, but it appeared 50% of trips were successfull."

Oyster Bay
"Suprisingly good!"
This part of Dar is perfectly safe, and ended our trip in style."
Great holiday
Zanzibar and 1 other country between 4 Feb 2010 and 14 Feb 2010

Pole Pole
"Wonderfully relaxed stay at Pole Pole"
Service can be a little slow(particularly on making cocktails) at times, but the staff are ell meaning and do their best.
Despite the proximity to the local village, the local people do not hassle guests at all. There is a certain charm to seeing people going about their everyday work, fathers and sons singing while going about their fishing."

The Z Hotel
"Looks great, but cracks beneath the surface"
Positives: Good location in Nungwe, great pool, best bar and restaurant in the area. Staff are very good. Drinks reasonably priced.
Negatives: Rooms are getting rather tatty, electrics have been wired strangely (for instance the light in the room had to be on for the light int he bathroom to work). Plumbing is a bit dodgy. Everything feels a little cramped, they have built 30+ rooms in a surprisingly small area. Diving in the area is poor - locals have caught all the fish and algae is starting to overrun the remaining coral.
P.s On the first day we had $200 stolen from our room. by a staff member. To their great credit, the management acted immediatly and refunded us the money. This did not affect our experience."

Zanzibar Palace Hotel
The only thing that can be faulted (and it isn't their fault) is that the park roads need to be maintained a little better and it is a shame night drives (say once a week) are not allowed."
