6/10 Good

Overpriced
Pro: the beach, the people (the staff is amazing) and the facilities Cons: the hotel doesn’t provide the pick up and drop off to the airport directly. They rely on a 3rd party supplier which caused us so many issues. We had to wait 5 hours before getting our room and there are no changing facilities. My parents are quite old and this was a real issue considering the high humidity in the island and the lack of AC in the lobby. Terrible!!! The hotel it’s way too huge, it gives you the ideal of one if those touristic hotel a bit trashy. You won’t see the real Zanzibar
