Superguest

We spent 2 wonderful weeks here. Our flight times were awful, both landing and departing at 4.30 am which meant we had to wait for our room to be ready until after lunchtime, but on the plus side we had our room right until we got picked up at 12.30am on the last day. You also receive all inclusive food and drinks as soon as you arrive until you depart. Upon arrival we were provided with a changing/shower room to use. Even at 6.30 am the heat felt intense, especially since coming from UK November weather, so it was nice to get changed, have a mosey around the grounds and then have breakfast. We had a deluxe sea view suite which was spotless, spacious and had everything we needed. It was cleaned daily. Unusual not to have any actual channels on the TV, but you have access to apps such as Netflix, YouTube etc. Air con worked well and the mini fridge was so cold it turned drinks in to slushies! We enjoyed the food. It was varied with international and local dishes. As with many places I've visited in the world, the temperature of some of the dishes could have been hotter, but the standard was very good overall. It was nice to have the choice between the main buffet and the Indian buffet for a change of scenery. I did expect some of the local dishes to be a little more fiery with Zanzibar being the spice island, but the flavours were delicious. The drinks service in both restaurants was very good. We also ate in the a la carte restaurant and found the food really good at excellent prices and with great service. On the days we weren't out on trips we spent the day on the jetty. It was lovely to sunbathe comfortably in the breeze and stare out at the stunning view. We are not really entertainment people, but we were in the bar on karaoke night and saw the acrobatic show too. All very good. The entertainment team were not pushy and liked to have a chat to practice their English. All the staff were friendly, polite and respectful. Everyone we passed in the hotel gave you a 'jambo'. I cannot praise the staff highly enough. Too many to mention individually, but my favourites were the boys at the jetty bar. Tipping is not expected and I didn't see much of it going on, but with such low wages in Zanzibar the odd dollar here and there is gratefully accepted. It was entertaining to see the monkeys just hanging around the hotel, living in harmony amongst the guests. We did the Stonetown and Prison island trip in one day which was good to learn the history and see some culture. We also went on the Safari Blue trip which was a fabulous day. Highly recommended. The only other outing was a taxi to Paje about 20 mins away. It was nice to have a wander on the beach and see the shops. Before we went I was a little concerned that there was nowhere you could actually walk out to, but it didn't bother us in the slightest. We were so chilled out and relaxed we didn't need to go anywhere other than the trips we did. The weather was fantastic. The forecast had pre
