The facilities are well maintained and clean. Everything is done to perfection. Any special requests are completed with attention to detail. Peter was awesome and made the surprise romantic dinner I arranged in advance even more special with the way he assisted us through the evening. The entire Zanzibella team really make it a amazing experience from the moment you arrive and even after my departure they followed up to ensure I reached the airport safely and it didn't end there, they checked in when I landed back home to check if I arrived safely. Big shout out, to Peter, Maiko, Helen and Meshack. It was truly an amazing stay with the Hotel and Team for making our Honeymoon Perfect. Highly recommend anyone going to Zanzibar to go to Zanzibella.
