Zanzibar Magic Boutique Hotel

I spent 8 days in this hotel with family. The structure is immersed in the forest and is directly on the sea. You reach the hotel from the main road, along a dirt road. The impact is Wowww Where have I ended up??? The parking lot is in the middle of a forest of palm trees and plants, you can't see the structure. Only after walking along a path still among the foliage, do you glimpse the main area, a structure with a very beautiful makuti roof. A small reception welcomes you and a very kind, professional and knowledgeable guy named Griat immediately makes you feel at ease. The central structure is simple, a bar, a restaurant, upstairs a place where you can relax in the shade pampered by the sea breeze and a small library. There is a massage corner (a corner) not a spa. The restaurant is à la carte and offers menus of the day. Everything is well cooked, portions are not abundant but unfortunately the menu is repetitive. The prices are high compared to the local average. After 4 evenings we decided to eat our dinners at other restaurants in other much more convenient resorts with many more options. There are NO restaurants in the area unless you take a car and go to the nearest one which is about 20 minutes away (I don't recommend it at night). Breakfast: always the same, served and not buffet style. Rooms: they are a bit small for two, let alone three! Spartan climate and blades help you stay cool, hot and cold water at will. There is a minibar. Clean rooms and ok staff. Roaming phones do NOT work! WI FI a nightmare: continuous power outages lead to routers being reset and passwords having to be changed. The signal in the room reaches with difficulty. Sleep quality, the mattresses are a bit old and it's hard. Services on the beach: sunbeds and nothing else. Small but nice pool. Beach Boys galore, a constant disturbance and obsession with you. What can I say, a nice holiday but the property should invest something in: Communications, a more powerful wi fi would be perfect, given that there was no TV. Restaurant: vary the menu and offer local dishes that may cost less (like 500 MT later). Bedrooms/bathroom: room furnishings and mattresses to be reviewed, bathroom bare and old. However, the holiday was beautiful, relaxing and the staff was kind, professional and friendly, especially Griat.
