Dream of Zanzibar Resort & Spa - Premium All Inclusive
Wotif Verified Review
5 / 5
Great facilities, very nice staff, various new food every day. The only remark is the beach which witnesses a very high tide, so swimming is impossible in the morning till around 2PM. But you can use this time to visit the island. Other than that, everyone is helpful and attends to your needs. Definitely recommend.
