This hotel had the most stunning views ever. It is located right on the beach and features a restaurant at the top floor so when you dine you get a view of everything.They also offer really great hookah and a small pool with a cute palm tree in the middle of it. The rooms were so clean and have huge closets so you can store all of your belongings in it.I also found it SO creative that every room is named after a country rather than just a plain number. So creative! Canโ€™t wait to come back! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

The best view in Kendwa. The service is excellent. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The only roof top restaurant on the beach. Walk out of your room right onto the beautiful white sand. Came all the way here from the US, and planning on coming back.

The rooftop-restaurant of this hotel is the perfect place for watching sunset with delicious cousin. The territory of the hotel is nice and calm, there is a white wooden swing on the beach.

Everyone was very nice ,helpful , and friendly , the hotel is very charming , we loved it . I slept in standard room which is enough for me , all basic thing inside , safe box , fridge , ac , fast wifi, clean room and toilet , nice pool , huge breakfast the both restaurant are Soo delicious , we forget a diamond ring in the toilet , we received message from the hotel that of we miss something , it was really nice and more than nice from them ! We only dislike that the hotel is full of Russian and Ukrainian , They always complain,noisy ,drunk , but then what we understand they ,they dont speak English and in the hotel they dont speak Russian , and thy come by very cheap charter and price so the hotel make for them budget service , and they need 5 star service like breakfast , cause we see few bad reviews , but we saw one of these stories on the reception and the hotel have the right %100 , the manger and the lady on reception are Soo polite and they are smart in solving problems and make guests happy , people book standard like us , so its mean standard while some people book standard and fight with the hotel to get upgrade for sea view for free ! So who book he should choose the right categoryVery important thing when electricity cut as all Zanzibar the hotel have generator all the timeGood job

It is the worst hotel that can exist.First, it took us a long time to get there because it is not actually called Lazy Beach Hotel, but Sun Sea Bar Hotel (I dont know the reasons but what they told us at reception is that it had changed its name).Second, I paid (and everything in advance because that was the condition) for a double room with a balcony, but to them (they even showed me their information), it appeared that I had booked a standard room (without balcony); They commented that it was a booking error and that I had to complain to them.Third: the sheets on the two beds in my room were disgusting (stained) and what they said is that it was normal due to coconut oils that people use for massages.Fourth: the musty smell is very intense, in fact the pillows have fungus, like the bathroom ceiling.Fifth: the glass door of the shower was bad, it did not slide well and it was not possible to close it properly. The towel rack was also broken.Sixth: the beach sector where they have their beds to sunbathe, has garbage cans, which are obviously used by people. The problem is that apparently they do not clean them very often because I saw them full of garbage and ants abounded everywhere in the sand, it was disgusting to see.Honestly, the hotel sucks, dont go there because youre going to have a really bad experience.

The hotel has 2 big advantages for me: quite modern design with old furniture and pretty silent location away from the place with a lot of people. The cons: very boring breakfast (basically we got eggs for 6 days in row), unstable and slow wi-fi (even at night when everybody is sleeping), not tasty food (comparing to SunSet restaurant), terrible hookah/shisha (the worst in my life actually, with a ton of mint and old device).

Moderate accommodation cost. Located near the tip of the islands, the hotel hosts one of the good ocean view rooms 3 of which are on ground floor with private Jacuzzis right out the rooms. Once inside, the rooms are spaces enough though the bed linen is not impressive with single sized blankets on double beds. The cleaning staff seem not very keen to clean after children, so you might want to reconsider if traveling with Children, not very Child friendly. The restraunt has a variety of meals though rigid for custom meals, could sense a tough(mean?) director at the top who would want to approve every tiny bit of improvement. Locally know as Varadero, the hotel has a good share of the beach which is relatively clean when the tide is low and very clean when the tide rise, so you want to swim when the tide rises. The receptionist were extremely nice and ensure you have a good stay there, though the management environment can frustrate you at times. Hot water is turned off during the day so if you enjoy those warm showers, you have to wake up early or request for the water to be reheated. The rooms have no TV sets but they have a very stable 2.5mb/s internet so you can always catch with the news.

My husband and I came from Stonetown by bike and we were searching for last minute room availability at several hotels during the holidays of high season (crazy idea and will never ever go unplanned ever again lol) luckily we stumbled upon this gem of a place right on the water. The locale is on the quiet part of Kendwa which we prefer. The rooms are clean, spacious and modern, price is within budget and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Our only complaint is the breakfast thatโ€™s included (but really we donโ€™t mind because of the view from the rooftop that we get while we sip on our coffee and tea). Highly recommend this place to just relax and enjoy on the beach!

Hotel for Zanzibar bomb. Air conditioning, refrigerator works. Take your shampoo with you. Clean relatively bed mattress comfortable. I donโ€™t know who writes bad reviews - whether Ukrainians or Russians are generally dissatisfied Slavs. You are beyond the equator - a beautiful coast, a normal hotel. If you donโ€™t get a visa or donโ€™t have enough money to go to Florida or the Caribbean in general, why write negative? Change money at the airport. The ocean is always warm. There are a lot of restaurants, take sun creams with you and mood)))

Budget hotel, repair standards, took a room with a jacuzzi. There is a kettle in the room but no glasses or cups. You can take glasses at the bar for a deposit: 1 glass = $ 5, after returning the dishes they promised to return the deposit. The beach is nearby, but it is better to swim on the neighboring ones if you walk to the right!

This barn cannot be called a hotel. There were no photos of those buildings in which we were settled, we could not even think that instead of the expected hotel (photos in Google, booking ...), there are several sheds behind the hotel, in which people are settled. They asked for a different number, they said that all the rooms are occupied, even for an extra charge there are no places in the main building. Number: the front door to the rooms immediately from the street, it is that it is not there, continuous holes, our lock was also broken, the door did not close. Inside: furniture from the times of the USSR, no promised iron, no kettle, no cup - nothing. The bed is a separate story altogether, a stone sarcophagus on which a terribly hard mattress lies, a wadded winter blanket and pillows made of foam rubber, which has completely fallen apart. The hair dryer in the shower barely worked, lived out its last days.The light was turned off a couple of times a day, there could be no water for half a day. And to all our questions, what was the matter, they answered us, oh, this is the first time we have this, we ourselves do not know how it happened.Restaurant: gorgeous view of the ocean, as the restaurant is on the 4th floor of the main building. But .... food is tough. Every morning: an egg, avocado toast, melted butter, toast and 10 gram of jam, a piece of pineapple and 2 pieces of watermelon, and so on every morning. Sometimes they also put a bun for breakfast, but it was fried in fat so that no one ate it. The dishes are dirty, sometimes hair was caught.There are about 20 sun beds for the whole hotel, everyone is busy all the time.On Mondays in the disco restaurant, get ready from 19.00 to 00.00 not to sleep and listen to this rumble constantly, since what is playing there cannot be called music.In general, I would not give 1 star to this hotel, my 1 star, this is to the masses who work there, they open the door in front of you, clean up and carry your suitcases.The funny thing was to watch the haughty owner who walked around the restaurant every morning, as if his hotel was a palace and he was the king here. It was funny to watch this squalor.In general, I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

I really enjoyed the holiday. All friends are delighted. First, lets start with the location. The hotel is located in Kendwa - the best part of Zanzibar where there are no low tides and on the first line. The rooms are clean and the staff is smiling. Thanks to Anna, the administrator solved all the problems. We will definitely recommend the hotel to our friends. Thanks for an amazing holiday. Good luck to you!

GreetingsRest in this hotelAs a whole, I liked the rest very much.The location of the hotel was a plus for us.From here it was ideal to go for a walk along the main tourist hiking trails along the coast.There are nuances such as the periodic lack of water, noise, the windows are a bit crowded.But taking into account the fact that we did not plan to spend time at the hotel, then as an option like bed and breakfast is suitable.The price is justified.This is Zanzibar, and the flavor of Africa must be accepted as it is.Have a nice day, everyone

Review โ„–31

The hotel does not match the description and photo. In the photo there is an old building, it is also presented by tour operators when booking, in fact everyone is settled in new buildings and they say that this is just a booking error, the tour operator confirmed such a reservation. The new buildings are terrible SHEDs, where it stinks terribly of lime, whitewash (prepare for allergies). Repair can not be called a repair, everything is terrible. The mattress is like a stone!Constantly there is no water, then light - in the whole hotel. Loud music until night in a nearby cafe, right under the windows.Constantly there are no towels in the hotel, either ordinary or beach.Restaurant: very poor breakfasts, every day eggs as a main course and a couple of pieces of white bread or rolls with a spoonful of jam and butter, and vegetable spread. And to this is attached 1 piece of pineapple and 1 piece of watermelon. Everything. Its every day!!!Dishes are dirty all the time. There are dead flies on it, and stains. Tables are always dirty. Chairs and tables are not processed by a grinder, clothes cling to everything and are torn - furniture is like sharp tree stumps.At the same time, seafood is prepared tasty and inexpensive. But the menu is the same.We often went for lunch and dinner at Sunset (restaurant of another hotel further down the beach. Delicious, prices are great, and CLEAN AND THERE HEARD WHAT THE SERVICE IS) and sometimes Kendwa rocks.There are never enough sunbeds on the beach. 20 sun loungers and three buildings (1 old and 2 sheds with hundreds of rooms).It is better not to swim near the hotel (the fishermen cut the fish directly into the water, and defecate there). It is better to go further along the beach 50-100 meters and it will be clean there.From the pros: gorgeous ocean, weak tides, inexpensive fruits and seafood - but all this is not the merit of the hotel, of course.Hotel: absolutely not recommended.Dont get what you expected. Even for Africa its just a nightmare!!!

Very good hotel, goes directly to the beach and here it is the Indian Ocean๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜The hotel is located on Kanga Beach where low tides are minimal and the ocean is always close to the beach.Delicious cooking.The restaurant has a great view of the ocean.The hotel is clean.We rested in a room called Alpacino, with access to a terrace with a jacuzzi. There are 3 such rooms in the hotel.Room cleaning on request.Then we moved to a room called France, it is the same as the first one but on the 3rd floor.From the hotel to Nungwi beach you can walk, to the natural aquarium with turtles is also not so far away.We recommend renting a moped and enjoying the islandโค๏ธ

An hour ago we returned from Zanzibar, where we had a wonderful vacation at this hotel. We were very pleased with the hotel. We got a Germany room on the second floor with a stunning sea view. By the way, its a very nice tradition to give rooms not numbers, but names. The room itself is small but fresh, everything works. Very clean. Large balcony with armchairs and a table. The room has an iron and ironing board, a safe, a good mattress. I did not have enough dishes (we asked for it in the restaurant) and towels (one per person). The hotel is quiet and calm, the sun loungers on the beach are good and sufficient. We went to swim a little to the right, where there are no boats. WiFi was nominally, but the connection is weak, we used the local mobile Internet. Cleaning must be ordered at the reception, for me it was not a problem. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. The general manager also made a very good impression. It can be seen that the hotel is developing. In just a week, we made a lot of tables on the beach, planted palm trees in the yard, added lighting and some other little things.About breakfast. Hearty, a lot of bread, it is clear that the guys are trying to diversify them, but we still need to work on this.The restaurant itself on the top floor is superb. The seafood is delicious. I recommend the mix of seafood and barracuda.All in all, I recommend the hotel. Excellent value for money and quality

Just not here! This is simply the worst place on Kendwa beach. There are boats on the beach of the hotel, the beach itself is made up of a dozen sunbeds and the hotel does not have any internal territory at all. Outside karaoke. The rooms have a terrible smell of lime. We bought a ticket to Kendwa Rocks, upon arrival at the airport, JoinUp said that there were problems in the Rocks after the rain and they would put us in a super hotel, we would like it. Photo attached, the hotel is just a shed. After a terrible kipish, we were settled the next day in the Rocks. There were no problems there after the rain, these are pure turbidity of the tour operator. A photo of kendwa roks also posted in google maps on the hotel page.

We were in this hotel with a friend at the end of January, the weather is beautiful, the ocean is literally 20 meters from the hotel, but we went swimming a little to the right of 100 meters, since there is a fishing bay. There were enough sunbeds for such a hotel, on the 4th floor there is a main restaurant with a stunning view)The hotel itself is located on the best coast of Kendwa. You can walk for a long time along the beach and walk to Nungwi (these are the two best coasts, on which there are practically no ebb and flow).As for the hotel itself) The first impression when we arrived at the hotel (on a dirt broken road, from the side of the village) was very frightening, but these are the first couple of minutes, and then you begin to understand that this is a very colorful, but poor country๐Ÿ˜ž On the territory itself the hotel is clean and tidy. The hotel area is not big. Initially, we were settled in a standard room, which we did not like, we asked to change and the owner of the hotel did it right away. We were transferred things in the first 10 minutes to a luxurious room with a jacuzzi, on the first floor, overlooking the ocean (with an additional charge). The room had almost everything, soap accessories, a hairdryer, towels, a safe, an ironing board, an iron, a kettle, a chic bed with a very comfortable mattress, a huge closet for things, a table), only dishes were missing, which were given without any problems at the bar (on bail money was returned upon departure.The staff is very responsive, although it was clear when the owner is not in the hotel, they relax a little))) But when he is there, everything is done and solved instantly)The food was delicious, I donโ€™t know who, but we all liked it)On my birthday, the hotel kitchen baked a cake themselves and handed them a bottle of delicious aperol) and congratulated them with dances and songs, it was very nice)))) Thank you for the chic mood)Hookah is very tasty, fruits are fresh and ripe)If you need a taxi to Nungwi, 10,000 shillings (about $ 4) or a motorcycle 5,000 shillings ($ 2) I think a very good price)In a word, I will definitely return to this hotel again) I recommend)

Review โ„–37

We ended up in this hotel because Join up canceled the confirmation of another hotel at the last moment. And this is what is left before the New Year. We paid significantly more than this hotel was worth, but the difference in the amount was not reimbursed, we were just given a room on the 3rd floor overlooking the ocean. This beautiful view spoils the daily drunken Russian karaoke under the windows until 00.00. Despite the fact that we came to rest, I just want to be in silence .. but this is impossible. The owner of our hotel promised that there would be no more karaoke in the neighboring one. But it never stopped. We were unable to relax in this hotel, sleep and enjoy the rest. The atmosphere of a terrible resort, not the island of Zanzibar. The audibility is very strong. In our room, you can hear how the chairs in the restaurant above us are moving and the forks are being fingered, someone is talking, walking, and so on.In the worst place, I have not been anywhere, in any country in the world. There are many other nuances in the hotel itself, but if they are voiced, then the management corrects. Can improve some points besides noise.I do not recommend this place to people who want to relax in peace and quiet, who do not like the format of low-budget resorts in Ukraine or Russia.

A beautiful view from the restaurant, but otherwise the hotel was not even close to the 4th. The room smelled strongly of lime. The staff often could not understand what we want from them and did not do what was needed. Eggs are the main dish for breakfast every day. Our power supplies burned out from power surges. After the rain, we had to walk along the balcony, in which there was water in large puddles. There was no toilet paper when we checked in. The staff is clearly exhausted and dissatisfied with life. The food is tasteless and perhaps even stale, the octopus was gritty and cracked on the teeth. The buildings are not connected, we lived on the 3rd floor, and breakfast was in another building on the 4th, so we saw endless flights of stairs. The mattresses are terrible, although they say that they are new. The repair was done crookedly, the door to the toilet in the room did not close, and if it was possible to close it, then it would not open without external help. Check-in at 14 (if they manage to clean your room), check-out at 10. It seems to me that I have not yet remembered everything. Ill just say: dont live here, dont!!!

Opening the door to your room, you will be greeted by the smell of lime, which will be your faithful companion throughout your stay. Only a switched on air conditioner can correct the situation, provided that it is working. The bed was very hard, my whole body ached in the morning, there was a feeling that I was sleeping on stones or asphalt. The administrator provided a second blanket and this saved the situation at least a little. They probably dont know about sheets or light bedspreads here. They asked several times to give us something easy to hide, as warm blankets were used as a mattress. The requests were ignored.Breakfast is a separate kind of masochism. Get ready to eat every day: an egg, avocado toast, a piece of loaf with a teaspoon of jam and butter, a pancake and 4 pieces of fruit. Sometimes 8 pasta is added as a variety.The dining room is very dirty, often food is brought in insufficiently clean dishes.If you just come to a restaurant for lunch or dinner, then the food is quite tasty and the prices are about the same as everywhere else.It is stated that the hotel has 18 rooms, but in fact there are more of them, there is an old and a new building. All photos on the Internet, old.The new building and its rooms resemble a barn. Where there is often no water and light. To all complaints and problems, the owner and his assistant say โ€œWell, what do you want, this is Africaโ€, but after walking 500 meters from the hotel you will get to know a completely different country where they know what cleanliness, service and customer focus are.There are not enough sun beds for everyone, so I had to go to other hotels and use them on condition of buying something (food, beer, water, etc.)There are no glasses in the room, they can be taken against a deposit.Beach towels are also subject to a deposit.Moreover, be prepared to pay $ 1 per person per day for your stay.They offered to move to another room for an additional payment of $ 90 per day, taking into account the fact that a family of 2 people had already paid $ 1500 for 7 days.Trash cans are also rare.The only plus of this hotel is the kind, but does not know either English or Russian, local staff and a stunning view from the restaurant.The beach and nature are superb, but this is not the merit of the owner.The owner sells rooms that are not suitable for living and are overpriced.Lack of service and inhuman conditions are the hallmarks of this hotel.I can confidently say that this is the worst hotel I have ever been.Wouldnt recommend!

The hotel is located on the first line.The rooms are very ordinary: white walls, a bed, a wardrobe, air conditioning, a shower room with hot water.Good wi-fi throughout the hotel.There is a restaurant on the 4th floor of the hotel. Very tasty cuisine, friends who have been in Zanzibar for longer say that it is one of the most delicious restaurants. I highly recommend fish (served with rice and fries + salad + sauce); try a plate with different seafood and pasta with seafood.For breakfast they served: a plate of fruit; and your choice - boiled eggs, sramble, omelet with vegetables + side dish with potatoes, sausages or pasta + bread with avocado + bread with butter and jam and of course tea, coffee, freshly squeezed juices - the breakfast is very satisfying.There are several fruit shops near the hotel - you can ask them to clean and cut your purchase.We left on 10/22/21 - just finished the exterior of the new building, imported air conditioners, boilers, etc.And most importantly, the staff is very cool! everyone is very friendly and harnessed if you need help, for example, we were accommodated in a room whose windows overlook the construction site and the guys worked with a puncher all night, so we had to go to sleep on the loungers (sooooo beautiful !!), in the morning when the staff noticed sleeping tourists on the sun loungers we were given a different number, we did not even have time to go to the admin panel.

I expected to get into a 4-star hotel, but ended up in a barn. PERMANENT INTERRUPTIONS WITH WATER AND ELECTRICITY.The room is furnished with a wardrobe and a desk, a barely working refrigerator (with a lock for some reason). The safe is not attached to anything. When we checked in, the safe was replaced: the worker brought a new safe at hand and took out the old one.After cleaning, I constantly had to go to the reception for a towel.There are also NO small things (which should be in a 4-star hotel) such as a daily bottle of water per person, a phone to contact the reception and other rooms (for example, if you are relaxing with a company), soap, shower gel and shampoo in the bathroom, iron, kettle , minimal crockery in the room.As a result, 4 stars in the title - FALSE, probably pulls a maximum of 2 stars. Keep this in mind if you consider this hotel.

I liked the hotel, the room with a jacuzzi is small, but there was enough space, especially since most of the time was spent on the patio outside the room. But the restaurant was frankly disappointing. We were there a couple of times, once the meat was rotten (it smelled bad), the second time it was just not tasty. But the cocktails are delicious. Well, we had to walk to the beach, because during our stay at the hotel, the entire coast at the time of the hotel was littered with boats and garbage from them

Great cozy hotel, friendly staff. I recommend the sea view rooms, the picture is pleasing to the eye! Rooms are small but comfortable. Comfortable large bed, refrigerator and ironing board. There are sun loungers on the beach, the beach is wide and clean. On the top floor of the hotel there is a restaurant with a gorgeous view of the beach. The cuisine is delicious, but the breakfasts are very simple and monotonous. I definitely recommend it!

The best hotel in terms of price-quality ratio.Located at the southern end of Kendwa Beach. The sea is three steps away. The staff is very customer oriented. Especially the girl at the front desk. It will help in everything. I needed two refrigerators - I did. You need a table on the balcony - please. There is an uninterruptible power supply on each floor (3-4 pieces per floor). Therefore, the code turns off the electricity, it still holds a couple of hours. There was always hot water until 11 pm. True, sometimes the pressure is weak.It is better to swim to the right of the sun loungers. A straight line of the beach begins there. There is also a small coral reef on that side, near the blue and white panton.There is a restaurant on the top floor. The food is quite tasty. Breakfast is also served there.Spent two weeks in this hotel - did not regret taking this hotel for such a long time.

Visited this cafe on the 4th floor of this hotel.Food quality is good, never poisoned. The portions are not small, for three (two adults and a child of 8 years old) ordered two dishes. You can come with your drinks, while they also bring chilled glasses. The staff liked it. The prices are adequate. Sometimes a DJ was invited, who even included Russian music. I liked the atmosphere in this cafe.

A great place for those looking to eat inexpensively and with fantastic views of the ocean and boat dock from the 4th floor. On the first line, on the Kendwa beach, we found one such tall building and that would be so clearly visible. There is a ventilator in the hall (there is no air conditioner, but since there is an open room it will not be relevant), the breeze blows pleasantly. I recommend the red snapper dish (not white! Its completely different). The guys are sympathetic, they are interested in whether they like everything. We had dinner there 3 times. Once the dish did not suit me - they changed it without question. The only thing is that the tea is not tasty. But this tea is not everywhere in Zanzibar). Locals call this place Olesya. This is the local owners third alpacino restaurant. He tries to look after the staff. Everything is clear. The portions are large! There is a childrens menu (fish sticks and nagets) but they are slightly different from our presentation. Much more! Deep fried. It is possible for an adult to eat too. Walk up to the 4th floor. The beach near the hotel is not very good. Since there are many boats and the low tide is small. But on the right, if you stand with your back to the hotel, you need to walk a hundred meters to the right and there will be a wonderful wide beach line.

Good hotel, ok breakfast, although sausages and stews are very specific. You can order an omelet, but you need to guess it yourself, as the waiters donโ€™t offer it) The rooms are small, clean, they give out beach towels. The staff is friendly, in the evenings it is quiet, on the roof an excellent restaurant with views of Kendwa!

We lived from 5 to 16 December 2020 in a room with a jacuzzi. A normal budget hotel not for oligarchs. Very kind staff, proximity to the ocean, always the presence of sun loungers !!! We want to return ... 9

We rested at this hotel in March 2020, to say that we were satisfied, to say nothing. We are delighted !!! The hotel is new, clean, hot water is always there, air conditioning, wifi in the rooms, hairdryer, iron, refrigerator, safe in every room! Daily cleaning, all defects are corrected instantly. The owner of the hotel is very attentive, he knows the guests by name. Thank you very much, you made our vacation unforgettable !!! The hotel is located in an ideal place for any tourist: if you want to go to the low tide on the shallows, to the left of the hotel is a sandbank, or if you want to swim at low tide to a depth, to the right. Someone wrote about a hard mattress, well, here excuse me, you wonโ€™t please everyone! We liked the bed: huge, hard mattress, but for me its a plus !!!

If all you want to do is run to the hotel to change your towels, clean the room in time, explain why there is no light, water, and full corridors and balconies of water after the rain, then you are here! Breakfast is a mockery of the very word breakfast! The staff does not understand basic things like napkins on the table! You will not have two days of rain and fresh towels, because they are simply not there! I understand that this is Africa and Zanzibar !! But then, write the truth that this hotel is not three stars, but one and a half, or one with a minus! Then it will be true! On the positive side, its just that its the Indian, warm ocean and the people here are friendly. Everything else about the hotel, then some surrealism! On the one hand, the rest, but on the other it is a mockery of you at your own expense! Once again, if you want to have at your own expense unforgettable pleasure from the fact that everything that should be provided by the administration you have to beat by force, then of course you will like it!

We lived in another hotel, but really liked the location and the presence of civilization in comparison with other hotels nearby.I recommend the restaurant on the 4th floor, great view, in my opinion the most delicious cooking compared to all of Kendwa. Prices, as elsewhere, are not more expensive

Be prepared to have breakfast with eggs and not sleep at night, as music from the restaurant plays all night and it is impossible to fall asleep

Glory to Ukraine! ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆNow (13.03.2022)we are in the Sun Sea Bar.First, our vacation came during a very difficult period of the war in Ukraine. However, being in a seemingly African country, we feel the support of all the locals, and most of all the owner of the Alpachino Hotel, who at such a difficult time for us, does everything possible to make us feel comfortable, it is: regardless of place of residence) Ukrainians; discount for accommodation with breakfast and dinner included (went on tour only for breakfast); daily special lunch suggestions. Alpachino himself is constantly interested in each guests business, whether everything is fine .....Secondly, the hotel itself has just a chic location on the first line of the beautiful Kendva beach. Everything is close to grocery stores, a fishing village (where you can buy seafood for every taste), boats and ships for excursions, a beach strip where you can walk to Nungwa (1 hour. And by the way there I did not likeโ€ฆ Kendwa One Love โค๏ธ).Thirdly, everything about the rooms is clean, the bed is big, the mattresses are comfortable, the bed is clean, white, there is also a blanket, a huge closet, safe, air conditioning works fine, refrigerator, kettle, desk, shower, we had entrance to the room and a balcony with side ocean views. By the way, the balcony has a clothes dryer, two armchairs and a table. The room is cleaned on request, cosmetics shampoo and solid soap.(I do not understand people who write negative reviews, who go for a normal price, but demand Luxury. Dear pay $ 10,000 and you will have lobsters and maybe even on your head will be spinning around you).Fourth, the restaurant on the fourth floor is open with a view of the white beaches and the ocean, as well as a restaurant on the beach where dancers and DJs periodically perform.My conclusion: I RECOMMEND SUN SEA BAR for recreation in Zanzibar โ—Well, in conclusion, a huge human THANK YOU Alpachino and Ani! โค๏ธ
