"We had a good time at Zanoceanique. It's a complex of rooms/apartments in a multi-story building, very spacious and well-equipped (air conditioning, wifi, refrigerator, an excellent safe). The building and furnishings appear somewhat dated (some handles don't work, some doors don't close properly), but the essential things all work well. The sea is just a few steps from the entrance, and there's a well-maintained garden with a pool inside. The food at the restaurant is excellent and reasonably...

"We absolutely loved our stay at Zanziblue! Everyone who worked at the hotel and restaurant was so professional, gracious and kind. They were helpful when we needed laundry done and a driver to Stonetown and back. The meals were especially memorable. Beautiful presentation and so delicious. In all our travels, we had the best meals there. Sabina, the manager there, was so welcoming. It was clean and comfortable and the grounds were beautiful. It was a profusion of color. We enjoyed the pool area,...

"We had an amazing time. Everything about the villa was perfect! The staff and cook may have been the best part about the stay. The villa sits on maybe the nicest beach that I have been to. The only problem was we only had a couple of days to enjoy. Next time we will plan for a longer stay. We will definitely tell friends about the Villa. Thank you so much for our experience."

"The overall experience was great. The staff is friendly and responsive. I particularly liked the food served at Aqua, which is why I was disappointed at the food quality from Carnivorous. The food was served luke warm at best and the meats did not meet the standards one would expect from a reservations only establishment. Maybe you should take a cue from the food consumption and wastage on a night by night basis at Carnivorous."

"The property is literally on the beach, the most incredible location , very quiet and tranquil. Swimming pool, lounger chairs overlooking the beach. You can walk along the beach, there are a few places to have lunch/ drinks within 5-10 mins. The chef is amazing and cooks the most incredible meals for you. Check in very easy and very helpful host.

"Unfortunately our experience was not as nice as we had hoped. As two women in their 20s and 30s we felt that we were at times treated as children. We were informed by a male staff member that we were “not allowed” to eat breakfast at the table overlooking the ocean, even though the owner specifically informed us of this option the day prior (likely because he did not want to walk the extra distance.) Our ‘Garden View’ room was a view of the parked vehicles in front of the hotel. The room also...
