와레레 비치

Just returned from this great hotel last week, Myself and Wife had eleven nights staying in a ocean front deluxe room which was well appointed with a comfortable bed and smashing views over the sea/reef, fitted our needs completely. The swimming pool area was well maintained and serviced with just a handful of guests on most days offering such a relaxing and tranquil experience, so good that we only went out on a few trips arranged by the hotel, the trips they offer are good value and personal so no hanging about for additional guests from other places. We chose to eat at the hotel every night as the food was extremely good with an expansive menu all at great value, breakfast was included with the room rate and was just as impressive. We did have two little technical issues with our room during our stay that made it necessary for us to sleep in another room on each occasion, firstly a small part of the ceiling collapsed then some days later we experienced electrical problems. On both occasions within minutes of us notifying the staff the Manager (David) and Assistant Manager (Enoch) came to the room with the maintenance chief to assess the situation and plan repairs while we were shown to another room, by the morning we were briefed on the detailed progress and repairs and returned to our room later in the day, what a fantastic job done by all involved. The Management team kindly credited our account with the slight difference in the room rates for those nights and generously provided complimentary dinner for two nights as a welcome apology for any inconvenience we encountered. Top regards for such a good recovery and any inconvenience was very minimal to us as the team made it all seem so easy. Talking team I can only say that the Managers and the entire team are brilliant, they are we trained in hospitality but all have a genuine friendly attitude, within days of being at the hotel is starts to feel like a well managed private members club, All guests and staff seems to have a great understanding of each others needs and everyone has a smile on their face. If ever we found ourselves in Zanzibar once more we would be going back to this hotel, it’s a real gem.

This hotel is just brilliant! We were booked into here by Luna Safari (see separate review for them) for some R&R after climbing Kilimanjaro. It was just what was needed. The size of the hotel is just perfect and means it never feels overcrowded and there were plenty of beds by the pool and tables in the restaurant. The food is fantastic and there is a good mix of items to cater for all tastes. The rooms are perfect for what you need, it was refreshing to be in a hotel without a TV in the room, who needs one with the views. I was in a beach view bungalow in the beautiful and well tended garden. The beach is accessible directly from the hotel via a set of steps and you can walk into the busier part of Nungwi from here. At low tide there are a number of sandbanks that you can walk to and explore. The staff are absolutely wonderful, incredibly friendly and can't do enough for you. The manager was brilliant and arranged several trips at short notice for us, tailoring them to our specific requirements, nothing was too much trouble. Zanzibar is an absolutely beautiful place, made even better by the people there who shape your experience. Thank you team Warere!
