Zanzi Resort

Zanzi Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Great staff absolutely gorgeous rooms with private pool. Food was very good though it had its slight imperfections. The resort is on the wrong side of the island for certain things but a great place if you were going to mainly stay there and enjoy the amenities."
