Nest Style Beach Hotel Zanzibar in Makunduchi

On paper and in pictures, everything looks like it could be ok at this resort, however, the reality is much different. The hotel is dirty, shabby, lacking in atmosphere and has inadequate facilities for the number of rooms (not enough space at the pool or private beach). The food is awful. A/c units are poorly serviced and smell due to lack of maintenance. Some rooms have termites. We were due to stay 5 nights but checked out after 1. Give it a miss.

Absolutely beautifull but otherwise the worst experience ever. Normale we do write reviews but in this case we would like to inform other travellers. Most, not all of the Staff was unfriendly and unhelpful. My wife was urged , although sick in bed, to make both rooms vacant after two nights (while fam. On snorkelling trip) during 5 nights stay. Unannounced and no asking politely but ordering to pack for five within the hour. Electricity issue in one of the rooms was sorted only by turning AC off, after reporting various times it was still not working with AC set below 26deg, we were promised it to be solved, but no one ever showed. So we had to find solution in leaving AC at 26 with minimum fan. At breakfast, every day shortage of coffee/ tea cups. Asking staff for cups, they tell you yes and disappear. Towels in room where removed but not replaced, took 2 walks to the reception to finally have some showering towels Asked for the manager but he ignored us. The place is as beautiful as in the pictures, no doubt, but is just very poorly managed.
