Zanzibar Beach Resort Hotel in Zanzibar City

Not a 4*, 2.5-3* at best Lobby beautiful. Rooms ok, in need of some upkeep, clean and great a/c but very dated. Curtains falling off. Old cushions on chairs, moldy spot on bathroom ceiling, spider webs above mirror. Exterior is deteriorating though well lit. The grounds are unkept, until yesterday, after I said something, there was nothing being done, no grass cutting, no clean up of the grounds or pool. Every electrical outlet on the fence is open and broken, broken rails on the fence. The fountains were dirty and not on. One didn’t even have water. Pool was not totally filled up to the pumps so not circulating, dirty until yesterday. Pool bar is very dirty and has not been open at all. Sea side dining room has been closed our entire stay. Buffet dinner every night and it was so-so. Lunch took hours and had to send back a salad twice before they added seafood to the “seafood salad” Staff seem to be new and unsure of what they have available. No beach movies. Live band was a keyboard and a singer, who both did their best. There is a lot of security including with the housekeeper when they come to turn down the room at night. Staff bags are checked before they leave. The gates are locked to the beach and we were warned to stay away from people on the beach for fear of being stabbed. There are significant tide fluctuations that bring a lot of garbage to the beach. We asked for late check out on departure day and were told no as they are full, yet we have only seen a handful of people and there are many rooms here. All and all, would not stay here again.

I think this is a bad hotel. I paid 150 dollars at the front desk and said I would go to Bluesafari and the cave the next day, but the driver only took me to the cave and the mangrove forest to see monkeys.there is no sea turtle trip，i think they are terrible

我想这个是个不好的酒店，我付了150美元给前台说第二天去bluesafari和洞穴，但是司机只带我去了洞穴和看猴子的红树林。没有海龟岛
