The views are stunning and every morning there are towels and pillows all ready for you on beds under umbrellas where i lay the whole 8 days i was there... more

Blue oyster hotel is a place you can compare to these typical picturs you would find on postcards or on a cover of a brochure in a travel agency. We have stayed there for 1 weeks and I have never enjoyed myself more than at this time. The rooms are simple but set up very nice. Everything is really clean... more

Based on the review for this hotel I booked a room for 2 nights there. I was really happy not to stay longer. The hotel is nice but there is a seaweed plantation just in front of the hotel making it impossible to go for swimming as there are many sea-urchins and also metalic pickets so that you have to... more

This is a great place, to get away from it all. The rooms were comfortable with traditional Zanzibarian beds. The hotel is very popular and so we ended up spending one night in an ensuite room and one night in a room with the bathroom down the hall which was fine although felt a bit damp as it only had... more

The hotel restaurant is excellent (especially fish sizzling) in fact so good that we didn't bother venturing outside the hotel. We went fishing with Captain Zippy which was a great morning... more

Jambiani is a quaint little fishing village where you feel you are on the set of a National Geographic Special. When the tide regresses, hundreds of women move out into the seaweed farms, fisherman move out to sea and it is a hype of activity. When the tide comes in, the beach becomes baron and you can swim with most... more

Amazing hotel in a stunning location. Beautiful rooms and fantastic staff ! This place needs to be visited !!! It has everything you need and we're not the kind of people to stay in one place for a while but this place really does warrant it. The food is amazing as well and in particular Anwar the guy on reception... more
