Located in Kiwengwa, a few steps from Kiwengwa Beach, Zanzibella Hotel & SPA provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden. A hot tub and a car rental service are available for guests. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. During our stay in Zanzibar we stayed at 4 hotels total and considering the quality of service, garden, taste of food, room cleanliness and equipment Zanzibella was the best. We really liked the garden, the pool with a bar and relaxing atmosphere all around the hotel. The hotel is smaller size which is great that we had more privacy, beach is secured by the guards, so we could relax calmly, however locals are mostly nice. Option to rent a paddle board for free was great, hotel could provide also a water shoes! During a high tide sea level fine and great to swim in the ocean, but for better swimming experience is better to walk 10 min left from the hotel to Kiwengwa beach. Zanzibella was not the most expensive hotel where we stayed during our holiday at Zanzibar but comparing the other 3 we got the best value for the money.

Located in Nungwi, 400 metres from Nungwi Beach, Kai Zanzibar Hotel and Spa provides accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. The property is non-smoking and is situated 43 km from Kichwele Forest Reserve. The perfect stay at Nungwi. I cannot explain how much i enjoyed my stay at kai zanzibar. The staff are extremely nice, they will insist to help you in every step, they wouldn’t even allow us to carry our small bags ourselves, they do. The owner is extremely nice he offered us a nice party with some friendly locals inside the hotel. The rooms and equipments are in perfect condition. I would not think twice if i come back to nungwi again. This is the most perfect place to stay at
