We cannot express how lucky we were to find this site to stay in whilst relaxing in Zanzibar. The site has two rows of villas facing the Indian Ocean and we were lucky enough to be in one of the front villas. The villa was spacious (could easily sleep 2-8) has it's own kitchen (which we used both for some breakfast and evening meals, which meant we enjoyed finding local shops with local produce that was both delicious but also fantastic value for money), WiFi, and it's own swimming pool. The grounds, however, also have three pools which are cleaned daily, as well as numerous sun- lounges to spend the day sunbathing. The staff were, again as we have found in all places we have stayed in Tanzania, friendly and attentive. The grounds are closed to the road at night with security who are there 24/7. The added highlight, however, was the bar and restaurant called Asili, with the food being cooked fresh and the staff incredibly friendly. To get the best experience I recommend you get a car so it way to explore Zanzibar to the full and get a true flavour of the island. We explored all along the east coast so are looking forward to returning to explore the west coast. For those of you from the UK, driving is on the same side as the UK so is easy. There are a few things to be wary of, mainly, the state of the roads (esp crossing from the west, where the airport is, to the east), the fact that people are always walking along roads with no pavements and motorcyclists are everywhere, many with no lights. Saying that, we felt safe the whole time we drove.
