Great hotel at the beach

Great hotel at the beach. Nice staff and great facilities. Breakfast and diner were very good. We had a great time relaxing and lying on the beach. There is not much to do in Uroa, but the hotel offers a lot of great excursions to explore Zanzibar (though they are a bit pricy).

Deben mejorar la oferta gastronomica

Pobre el buffet en general. Falto siempre mango o piña (si se pedia se cobraba aparte) Menú muy repetido y poco variado tanto a la carta como el buffet. Personal con poco dominio del ingles. La energía eléctrica era un tema, con mini cortes e interrupciones.

Stay was well organized and service was good! Only issue we had was when we arrived at the hotel around 10am (which we told the hotel about), we waited more than 2 and a half hours for our room. Hotel wasn’t that full so think they could have got us in a room early with a bit of effort!

17 lata dagar

Besviken över det som kallas gym. Skivstång, boxningssäck och en trampmaskin på ca 8 kvm, det var allt. Underbar pool, lång strand. Frukost som innehöll allt. A la carte restaurangen har god mat. Testade aldrig buffén. Stort rum och stort badrum, skön säng fin balkong. AC lagom kyla. Alldeles för långt till stan, det kostade 50 USD enkel väg.

Perfect 12 day stay

My wife and I found the Uroa Bay Beach Resort to be absolutely perfect for our stay. We were looking for a complete relaxing holiday with a few excursions and Uroa Bay Beach simply hit the spot. Friendly personnel, lovely service and wonderful smiles accomponied our complete 12 dY stay. The weather played its part to perfection as well and was just truly amazing. If I were to complain about anything, then I would say that they could make the choices of breakfast a little more variable. That would be it!

Relaxing 3 night stay at Uroa Bay Beach Resort

Friendly staff from reception to food & beverages to security. Rooms were comfortable although I did wish that I had my own pillow from home. The bed had 1 pillow per person and a bit lumpy. Location is in a quiet part of Zanzibar - east coast. Wi-Fi only available in reception and swimming pool area - no Wi-Fi in bedrooms. Menus are dollar based so make sure you take enough dollars with you. No ATM or bank in the vicinity. Drinks a bit expensive. Food at local restaurants on the beach were great. Beach Boys a bit irritating when you want a quiet stroll on the beach. Overall enjoyed the weather and chilaxing time at the resort.

Up and coming resort

Revelstoke is a fairly new resort and although it's a great mountain, it is still getting its act together. I think popularity will increase now that it's on the IKON pass. The Sutton is a great choice to stay. It's a bit on the pricey side (kind of equivalent to Whistler), but the convenience and amenities are worth it. Ski-in, ski-out, nice heated pool and jacuzzis. Units are comfortable, but a bit on the small side. Nice lobby. The biggest downside, which really can't be helped, is that town is 10 minutes away by car, so not within walking distance. There is a shuttle (a crazy, light and music disco bus), and Sutton provides free passes for it. There is a small village at the mountain, with a couple of restaurant/bars.

Beautiful beachfront resort at a reasonable price. A bit tough to get to in that it costs nearly as much as your room to get each direction ($50 cab ride to or from the ferry). Food and drinks were good and the pace was just the slow and uncrowded version of reality i wanted for the short weekend getaway!

Mittelklassehotel für Tour-Reisende (Itaca, Kappa)

Hotel mit vielen Club-Ferien-Bucher aus Polen/Osteuropa und Frankreich (Itaca, Kappa). Für Reisende die nicht mit diesen Anbieter buchen eher nicht geeignet. Essen/Trinken eher ausgerichtet auf All-Inclusive Angebot (Qualität solala). à la carte Restaurant mit moderaten Preisen (8-14 $) jedoch Qualität limitiert (ein Ausflug in ein gutes Restaurant in Stonetown lohnt sich...) Am Strand sehr aufdringliche Verkäufen/Tourenanbieter die durchaus auch beleidigend/aggressiv werden wenn Sie ignoriert werden. Zum Glück werden sie von der Security (Maasai-Krieger?? :/)) strikt nicht über die Mauer auf das Hotel Gelände gelassen (angesprochen wird man dennoch aus Distanz über die Strandmauer).

overall nice hotel

Beautiful beach.but found it challenging to have a nice quiet moment on the sand as there is always a handful of people waiting to sell you something. Nice pool. food was fair. Food in regular dining area was okay but food at their second dining area ( called alacart) was dissapointing. Service from staff in all dining area was friendly and excellent. Their cocktails had little to no alcohol in them but that seem to be the theme through that island. The room and bathroom was big,comfortable with airconditon and ceiling fan. Felt safe there. Good entertainment after dinner.
