This hotel is amazing, I have to say that during my stay in Zanzibar this was my favourite hotel that I stayed in. It does exactly what it says, it’s a boutique on the beach!
when you arrive you are greeted by the happiest looking staff you’ve ever seen and they are so welcoming, you feel right at home from the off. You recieve a welcome drink and cold towel while you are being checked in. You are then shown to your room and as this is a boutique you can see straight away what the hotel offers, as soon as you walk away from reception heading for your room you get to see the amazing beach, it’s the only hotel that is literally on the beach reached by a few steps. Due to the tides none of the hotels in Zanzibar can actually be on the beach.
The rooms are very comfortable and the ammeneties are very modern, all the rooms are decorated differently, from an oriental feel to a tropical setting.
The hotel has two restaurants and the food is amazing!! we sat by the small pool the property has and had our lunch, served by the very efficient pool boy, he was very helpful. I had sushi and I have to say it was the best I’ve ever tasted! there is a huge choice of food so you will definately find something you like.
What a lovely welcome! Freash fruit cocktail, refreashing towels and smiling faces, everything was perfect. The friendly staff were helpful from the minute we arrived, showing us to our rooms and taking us to our rooms and making sure we had everyting we needed.
The 2 restaurants which have the most stunning views of the Indian Ocean, offer the most tastiest dishes with so much variety. The main bar is situated in the Cinnamon Restaurant which offers a selection of beverages for all tastebuds.
The hotels modern facilities is what differentiates this hotel to the others along the Northern Coast. Offering free internet access and a HDTV in the lounge. Also new at the resort are drop down LCD Tvs.
The Z Hotel is situated in Nungwi Village which is literally next door to the Z Hotel and where you can visit the local shops and restaurants.
There is a beach bar called Cholos where we went for the evning, which offered a lovely bar and club for the guests and locals at the hotels along this coast.
