Pili Pili Sunrise

By far, this was the worst hotel experience I seen in Zanzibar, Africa or even globally! The room was bad, hardly working water, AC not proper working and breakfast was so bad, it takes them an hour to prepare scrambled eggs and serve them cold Even when you invited us for apology dinner, the food was too late that we left after an hour and half waiting for food Finally not to mention, the sun bed broke while i was on it and the water boiler was not functioning properly

All PiliPili hotels have a terrible standard. There is mold in the rooms, stench, clogged toilets, frequent power outages, old beds, no towels. The food was poor, scarce and expensive. They try to charge double the reservation fee - thieves! They also cancel the reservation at the last minute and do not return the advance payment. Avoid these hotels because they are scammers! The photos on the websites have nothing to do with reality. They are computer-corrected and stretched. False reviews on booking - they write them themselves.

We booked the property for their deluxe quAdraple sea view room with bath as it looked stunning on photos. The room was pretty good though, but the views from the balcony were excellent. Apart from this nothing else about the property was worth a visit. The breakfast and pool area are run down. Flies all around while you have breakfast. We left and took the food to our room. The breakfast options in itself were not appealing and tasted average. Electricity was a massive issue and the light kept tripping in our room. No phone in room so you have to climb up and all the way down for any query. For a fancy boutique room, there was nothing provided like slippers, dental kit etc, and what was shocking was they didn’t have a dental kit at all when asked. A basic fruit like banana wasn’t there for baby at the breakfast. The kettle burst giving me a slight shock and stopped working. I had to run behind them to provide me got water to make baby food. There was a manager named Jonathan who also asked me if the baby was playing with the kettle for it to burst which was the most studied response he could give, But after we complained, one of their managers Saif was prompt enough to be at our service. They packed us to-go breakfast for the next day which was good.

Staff incredible helpful and nice, Joseph at the reception make our stay beyond amazing. Our room was big and daily clean with balcony and ocean views. The hotel offers free snorkel tour and maasai shows some days of the week. The buffet breakfast is on the rooftop part with great views and delicious food, heaps of variety and the chef Maddregal is a masterChef👏🏼 The hotel also has an Italian and Mexican restaurant and they deliver to your room if you like. The swimming pool on the top floor is perfect to have some private swim and floating breakfast😍 100% recommended 👌
