Reviewer Type: Couple

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Very well situated on the beach, a short walk to the city centre and yet only 15 minutes drive from the airport, the hotel has managed to successfully capture the soul and essence of Zanzibar.

Summary: I go to Zanzibar quite a lot and when in Stone Town generally stay at the Park Hyatt next door. Where the Hyatt is grand
