The ocean view from our room at S&S Hotel was absolutely breathtaking. We loved waking up to the sight of the sparkling sea every morning, staffs are the epitome of professionalism and hospitality. They went out of their way to ensure that every moment of our stay was perfect and unforgettable,bar is the perfect place to unwind after a long day of exploring since we were also doing some tours and activities around the island, The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made us feel right at home, restaurant is a culinary delight. From breakfast to dinner, every meal was a feast for the senses and it's always fresh food, juice even fruits fresh and sweet 😋, swimming pool is a true oasis. We loved taking a dip and cooling off while enjoying the stunning views of the surrounding landscape, this was like living a premium dream ❤️.

Not worth 5 stars. We have a lot of experience with five-star hotels, and this hotel absolutely does not meet those standards! We recently stayed here for 8 days. Upon arrival, the hotel looks nice and attractive. The rooms are spacious, it has a nice pool, and the staff is friendly. The manager was present during the week we were there, and he was very kind. The food is okay, but definitely not special. The breakfast buffet is very basic and not extensive. The bread baskets they serve at every meal are filled with old bread from previous days (tough and hard). The hotel has few facilities and doesn’t organize anything. There’s little atmosphere, no music, nothing. There is one restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The beach nearby is nice for a short time, with the sea within walking distance, but later in the day, it’s covered in seaweed, and swimming becomes difficult. Power outages are frequent. The gym equipment doesn’t work! The cross trainer only has an on/off button, but nothing else happens, and the same goes for the bike. When you go to eat, the staff hovers around you, which doesn’t feel comfortable and makes you not want to linger at the table. You feel constantly watched. When you’re lying on the beach, the staff barely comes by to offer drinks or anything else. The location is also mediocre, with few nice bars or restaurants around the hotel, except for ”Scooby Doo.” Paje is a 10-minute drive away. Maybe this hotel would be suitable for older people who want to relax for a few days, but for young people like us (26 and 28), definitely not! A waste of money!! The reason we choose 5-star hotels is because they offer extra luxuries, better service, and more facilities. So, honestly, we feel a bit deceived.

we arrived at Jambiani White Sands by taxi, as soon as we arrived the hotel staff came to collect our bags and took us to the hall (in perfect bungalow style) they sat us down and offered us a welcome drink, a fruit smoothie fresh. after which they explained the place to us and took us to our room. the place is wonderful, bungalows on the very fine white beach, the sea a little green a little blue and blue and you can see from the window it is one step away from the rooms really on the beach like in the films. The staff is very kind, they make you feel at home, they explain all the secrets of Zanzibar and their territory. we also did some excursions recommended by Joka who guided us through the local wonders. The excursions are highly recommended, they take you step by step to the places you want to go, explaining everything and making you experience this wonderful country. The restaurant inside the structure is also highly recommended, with very fresh peece cooked on the spot. truly a paradise Thanks to joka mohamed and ibra for the experience you gave us siamo arrivati al Jambiani White Sands in taxi, appena arrivati il personale dell'albergo è venuto a ritirare pe nostre valige e ci hanno portati nella hall (in perfetto stile bungalow) li ci hanno fatto sedere e offerto un drink di benvenuto un frullato di frutta fresca. dopodiche ci hanno spiegato il posto e portati alla nostra stanza. il luogo è meraviglioso, bungalow sulla spiaggia bianca finissima, il mare un pó verde un pó azzuro e blu e si vede dalla finestra è a un passo dalle camere veramente sulla spiaggia come nei film. Lo staff è gentilissimo, ti fanno sentire a casa, ti spiegano tutti i segreti di Zanzibar e del loro territorio. abbiamo fatto anche delle escursioni consigliate da Joka che ci ha guidato nelle meraviglie locali. consigliatissime le escursioni, vi accompgnano passo a passo nei luoghi dove volete andare, spiegandovi tutto e facendovi vivere questo paese meraviglioso. consigliatissimo anche il ristorante all'interno della struttura, il peece freschissimo cucinato al momento. veramente un paradiso. Grazie a Joka, Mohamed e Ibra per l’esperienza che ci avete fatto vivere

I travelled with my elderly parents and our stay at Equalia Boutique Hotel was wonderful. Its proximity to the ocean is brilliantly close, you can take a swim and within a few meters you're back to the hotel watching life pass you by on Jambiani beach. Walking along the beach in Jambiani is safe and whilst there are some people selling items, with a polite no thank you, they leave you alone. We enjoyed many long walks and we also saw the magnificent sunrises whilst we did our morning yoga on a few occasions. Breakfasts were included and were delicious comprising of fresh fruit, fresh juices, eggs, pancakes and bread. We also enjoyed the lunches and dinners, the seafood platter is divine as is the vegetable curry and rice. We also drank plenty of fresh coconut water, scooping out and eating the coconut flesh as well. The staff at the hotel were incredibly kind, helpful and fun to be around. There are plenty of excursions that can also be organised for you. We didn't hire a car but took taxis which were very easily booked through the hotel. Paje beach and restaurants are a 10 minute ride away and worth a visit, the beach there is also stunning. We spent a couple of afternoons idling our time at Mr Kahava's where the food is also good. Stone Town is 1.5 hrs away and definitely worth a visit. They management can also organise airport transfers upon arrival and departure. There is more I would like to have done during our stay, it just means we have to come back again and I'd definitely stay at Equalia Boutique Hotel without hesitation. Asante Sana Equalia team, see you again sometime. Varsha, Laxmi and JJ
