Search Residences in East Coast Zanzibar

"CAVEAT EMPTOR! BUYER BEWARE! Claiming to be a 5-star resort, they struggled to be 3 stars filled with short comings. To begin D of Z is definitely not disabled person friendly as there are stairs everywhere except into the pool where you must enter down a wall ladder. Bars and dining rooms are on the second floors or at least a few stairs up. Food was INEDIBLE. We lived on rolls, tomato and cucumber for 2 weeks. There was nothing to tempt us at all. Soup was hit and miss. Grilled meat in the evening was dire as were the pizza squares and brochette (white toast with chopped tomato, I think) Breakfast was ok as they offered fresh omelettes and waffles (if you asked for a fresh one and not the cold rubbery ones off of the buffet.) Lunches and dinners were always cold and over cooked. Chatting with the other guests we found that this was the complaint from everyone. Spices were not existent which was strange as spices are one of Zanzibar's high points. On one of our first nights, we went to the roof-top bar, the bartender left us sitting at the bar for 15 minutes without acknowledging us. When I commented that we would like a drink he responded with "You are not the only person in the bar" There were only 2 other people there! The resort also had limited internet making checking emails almost impossible. The rooms and bathrooms are beautifully designed, large and spacious. Dream of Zanzibar is not 5 star but more like a Nightmare off Tanzania. "

"loved the stay , nice breakfast, beautiful view from the rooms , loved the outdoor space"

"I was pleasantly surprised with this resort. The food at lunch at the beach bar was very good. The room was beautiful and huge. The only thing that was a little lacking was snacks between meals and the fact that it is a little remote but overall everything was great. "

"Delightful boutique hotel on a nice and quiet beach. So nice to see the sunrise in the morning and the fishermen setting out to get their daily catch. The staff is friendly and service-minded often working quietly in the background to make sure you’re taken care of. The food was surprisingly good. The rooms are beautifully decorated. We enjoyed the view from the balcony. The only downside was that the beds were a bit on the hard side - and very squeaky :)"
