Overall it was a great hotel. We were soo comfortable with our 2 year old! All the staff was super friendly to us and our daughter. The rooms were comfortable and tasteful, beach is amazing. Restaurant is more expensive than average but worth it! Grilled calamary was sooo good we ate one everyday :) Special thanks to all the hardworking staff of the hotel, they were so accomodating, helpful without overwhelming us.

Located in Dikoni, a few steps from Uroa Public Beach, AVO Boutique Hotel provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden. Featuring a private beach area, the 3-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The hotel offers garden views, a terrace and a 24-hour front desk. This cozy beachside resort offers a peaceful, serene escape with exceptional service. The owner, Loay, is incredibly hospitable and always available on WhatsApp to attend to any needs including your meal order, excursion plans etc. (I have yet to see this service at another resort). Rufina, the friendly and attentive waitress, made every meal enjoyable. Unlike other resorts, this one has fewer hawkers, allowing for a more relaxed experience. It’s the perfect spot for relaxation, with a personal touch that makes you feel right at home. Highly recommended!

Each accommodation at the 3-star hotel has sea views, and guests can enjoy access to a restaurant and to a bar. The accommodation provides room service, a tour desk and currency exchange for guests. Thanks Beth and Dullah for the wonderful stay! This was the best shower we had after a month travelling East Africa, the kitchen staff do an amazing job and even cooked us a banquet on our last night! Cocktails were also delicious. We swam in the ocean at high tide and at low tide the pool was great to cool off. Beth was kind enough to organise a mangrove tour one day and a spice and stone town tour on another day for us. If you are looking for a relaxing, friendly, welcoming place to escape the islands tourism scene then look no further!

Set in Jambiani, in the middle of a local village , Zanzistar Lodge boasts a sun terrace with outdoor pool and is located just a short stroll away from the beach.

The rooms feature trendy and minimalistic design and the beds are draped with a mosquito net. There is a safety deposit box and the private bathrooms are fitted with a shower. Ir”s my third time in Zanzistar. Because of the beach, because of Tanzania sun but also because of the people. Peter is great and the staff is family. I know Simon since 2021 and now Elli, George and Abdul are also there. They are all great and our Simon is perfect!!!
