THE AFRICAN PARADISE

We spent 8 nights at this hotel.
-Location:
Very safe beachfront property, about 30-minute safe walk to Paje. If you have no vehicle, you can also take a taxi or tuc tuc. On-site free parking available.
-Service
Very warm welcome to all guests upon arrival. Pia and Hasim and the entire staff make your stay special. They are extremely friendly, generous, always available, responsive, helpful and attentive to all details.
The daily room cleaning was always prompt and spotless.
-Food and drinks:
Excellent, tasty, fresh, good variety, reasonably priced.
Great breakfast: fresh fruit and juice, daily varying surprise dish, eggs (any style), coffee/tea
-Beach:
Helpful tide table provided upon arrival.
The seaweed that comes ashore is removed every morning. Beautiful white powder, lots of palm trees, very flat, leading to very big differences between high tide (swimming possible) and low tide (no swimming possible, however walk on tidepools up to outer reef recommendable for mainly starfish gazing. Hotel provides adequate footwear to avoid stepping on sea urchins.
Beautiful sun and moon rises.
- Rooms
We stayed in an inside room with no view: It was adequate as we only spent time sleeping and showering in it. Very clean, good shower with shampoo, shower gel, soap and two fans in the bedroom with comfortable mattress.
-Tours/Massage offered: Many options available, however somewhat pricey. With our own car we were able to access all the island attractions easily. If you respect the driving rules and are friendly to the police, they are also friendly to you.
- Value: Excellent value. Can highly recommend.

The best fish I ate in Zanzibar. The hotel owners are also two of the nicest people in Zanzibar.
