Downside is that they do not take care of the beach in front of the property. Stairs to the beach are broken apparently for many months. Otherwise nice stay, resort grounds are being clean every day. ##### Lada Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Amani Boutique Hotel - Small Luxury Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paje-Hotels-Amani-Boutique-Hotel.h45431049.Hotel-Information) > > [Baraza Resort & Spa Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dongwe-Hotels-Baraza-Resort-Spa-Zanzibar.h10042688.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Melia-Zanzibar.h1407257.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Serengeti-National-Park-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Safari-Lodge-Serengeti.h2949601.Hotel-Information) > > [Zuri Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kendwa-Hotels-Zuri-Zanzibar.h20217090.Hotel-Information) > > [Breezes Beach Club & Spa – Half Board](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dongwe-Hotels-Breezes-Beach-Club-Spa-Half-Board.h3522641.Hotel-Information) > > [Fruit & Spice Wellness Resort Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kizimkazi-Hotels-Fruit-Spice-Wellness-Resort-Zanzibar.h9851631.Hotel-Information) > > [Zawadi Hotel Zanzibar - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dongwe-Hotels-Zawadi-Hotel-Zanzibar-All-Inclusive.h14801376.Hotel-Information) > > [Kena Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matemwe-Hotels-Kena-Beach-Hotel.h4544228.Hotel-Information) > > [Filao Beach Resort by Sansi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chwaka-Hotels-Filao-Beach-Zanzibar.h26830985.Hotel-Information) > > [The Residence Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kizimkazi-Hotels-The-Residence-Zanzibar.h4261204.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Zanzibar - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-Riu-Palace-Zanzibar-All-Inclusive.h5361523.Hotel-Information) > > [Neptune Pwani Beach Resort & Spa Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Neptune-Pwani-Beach-Resort-Spa.h4544303.Hotel-Information) > > [TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-TUI-Blue-Bahari-Zanzibar.h4532516.Hotel-Information) > > [Turaco Nungwi Resort, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-DoubleTree-Resort-By-Hilton-Zanzibar-Nungwi.h3300267.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mora Zanzibar - Luxury All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matemwe-Hotels-Emerald-Zanzibar-Resort-Spa.h78245396.Hotel-Information) > > [Zanzibar Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marumbi-Hotels-Zanzibar-Bay-Resort.h27086671.Hotel-Information) > > [Aluna Paje](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paje-Hotels-Aluna-Paje.h61490430.Hotel-Information) > > [ Safaya Luxury Villas (Adults Only)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-Safaya-Luxury-Villas.h91433919.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Paradise Resort & Spa Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Ocean-Paradise-Resort-Spa-Zanzibar.h4235502.Hotel-Information) > > [The Palms Zanzibar - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dongwe-Hotels-The-Palms-Zanzibar-All-Inclusive.h10041347.Hotel-Information) > > [Z Hotel & Z2 Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-The-Z-Hotel.h3675918.Hotel-Information) > > [Passion Boutique Hotel Zanzibar - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jambiani-Hotels-Passion-Boutique-Hotel-Zanzibar.h60284612.Hotel-Information) > > [Reef & Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jambiani-Hotels-Reef-Beach-Resort.h6643793.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Mersenne Zanzibar, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Michamvi-Hotels-Le-Mersenne-Beach.h65725614.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-Royal-Zanzibar-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h5563953.Hotel-Information) > > [Uroa Bay Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Uroa-Hotels-Uroa-Bay-Beach-Resort.h5448275.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Jambo.h75595198.Hotel-Information) > > [TOA Hotel & Spa Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pongwe-Hotels-Toa-Hotel-Spa.h75012943.Hotel-Information) ---
