Le personnel était accueillant, serviable et toujours souriant. Les propriétaires se sont montrés aux petits soins, créant une atmosphère chaleureuse. L'emplacement, niché au cœur de la forêt, offre un véritable cocon de tranquillité, tout en étant à seulement 5 minutes de la plage. Le restaurant propose une cuisine entièrement faite maison, délicieuse, avec des smoothies particulièrement savoureux. Une adresse à recommander sans hésitation. ##### Michael Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Aldiana Club Zanzibar Kwanza](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kizimkazi-Hotels-Kwanza-Resort.h92442196.Hotel-Information) > - [The Mora Zanzibar - Luxury All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matemwe-Hotels-Emerald-Zanzibar-Resort-Spa.h78245396.Hotel-Information) > - [The Oasis Residence](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jambiani-Hotels-The-Oasis-Residence.h110883645.Hotel-Information) > - [Amani Boutique Hotel - Small Luxury Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paje-Hotels-Amani-Boutique-Hotel.h45431049.Hotel-Information) > - [Pearl Beach Resort by Sansi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Michamvi-Hotels-Ras-Michamvi-Beach-Resort.h59224215.Hotel-Information) > - [Pearl Beach Resort by Sansi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pearl-Beach-Resort-Zanzibar.h39193618.Hotel-Information) > - [Seafront private villa at Jambiani Beach, Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jambiani-Hotels-Seafront-Private-Villa-At-Jambiani-Beach.h19869192.Hotel-Information) > - [Kisiwa on the Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paje-Hotels-Kisiwa-On-The-Beach.h8504745.Hotel-Information) > - [Zanzibar Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marumbi-Hotels-Zanzibar-Bay-Resort.h27086671.Hotel-Information) > - [Coco Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jambiani-Hotels-Coco-Beach-Hotel.h21110718.Hotel-Information) > - [Maharaja Boutique Hotel Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Uroa-Hotels-Maharaja-Boutique-Hotel-Zanzibar.h106507120.Hotel-Information) > - [Konokono Beach Resort and Isaraya Over Water Villa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Michamvi-Hotels-Konokono-Beach-Resort.h3881687.Hotel-Information) > - [Upendo Beach Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Michamvi-Hotels-Upendo.h38346071.Hotel-Information) > - [Bamboo Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jambiani-Hotels-Bamboo-Zanzibar.h103409507.Hotel-Information) > - [Oceanfront Villa Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bwejuu-Hotels-Oceanfront-Villa-Zanzibar.h18951934.Hotel-Information) > - [Nest Style Beach Hotel Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makunduchi-Hotels-Nest-Style-Zanzibar.h5636850.Hotel-Information) > - [Sahari Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bwejuu-Hotels-Sahari-Zanzibar.h8713114.Hotel-Information) > - [Be Zanzibar ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jambiani-Hotels-Be-Zanzibar.h101662862.Hotel-Information) > - [Xanadu Luxury Villas & Retreat Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dongwe-Hotels-Xanadu-Villas-Retreat.h32493146.Hotel-Information) > - [Clove Island Villas & SPA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makunduchi-Hotels-Clove-Island-VillasSpa.h35888521.Hotel-Information) > - [Uroa Bay Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Uroa-Hotels-Uroa-Bay-Beach-Resort.h5448275.Hotel-Information) > - [JAZ Elite Aurora](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaz-Aurora-Beach.h102401742.Hotel-Information) > - [TIKI Beach Club and Resort ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bwejuu-Hotels-Sherekea-Hotel.h28924394.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Riu Jambo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nungwi-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Jambo.h75595198.Hotel-Information) > - [Bella Vista Resort Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kizimkazi-Hotels-Bella-Vista-Resort-Zanzibar.h39208527.Hotel-Information) > - [Breezes Beach Club & Spa – Half Board](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dongwe-Hotels-Breezes-Beach-Club-Spa-Half-Board.h3522641.Hotel-Information) > - [Aya Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kizimkazi-Hotels-Aya-Beach-Bungalows.h19851873.Hotel-Information) > - [JAZ Adonia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Uroa-Hotels-Jaz-Adonia-Beach-Resort.h106801418.Hotel-Information) > - [PILI PILI UHURU](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jambiani-Hotels-PILI-PILI-UHURU.h76785042.Hotel-Information) ---
