Best Holiday we have had for ages

Just returned from 2 weeks at Dream Of Zanzibar, what a fantastic time we had, its a small boutique hotel with around 37 rooms.

The staff are a credit to the hotel, they made the holiday, had a great laugh with them from breakfast to last orders.

Rooms were a good and a well stocked fridge, everything was immaculate and clean.

The food was off the scale, I defy anyone to not like something on the Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner menus, again staff were attentive at all times.

It would be unfair to single out particular members of staff as everyone from the manager to the cleaners where fantastic.

I have only one gripe, that was the hot water which wasn't hot at the best of times but hey I'm on holiday!!!!!!

Dream of Zanzibar lives up to its name!
We had such a great time at this hotel that lives up to its name! The perfect place to relax after the safari. The rooms are large, nice and spotless. The maintenance of garden, pool and all facilities perfect. Wide choice with food, great care throughout the day, all super friendly people. For the enthusiast, fun excursions are offered, so you can also see enough of the island. Tip: bring enough cash to give tips, because ATMs there are actually not possible and adding extra to the account is unusual. And believe me: you want to be able to give tips, definitely. Read more
