Zanzibar White Sand Luxury Villas & Spa - Relais & Chateaux

Amazing, classy hotel with a great sense of style and relaxation! Food is fantastic and varied, staff is exceptional! Overall a wonderful experience to be done again!

Nothing

Location, facilities, staff

Value for money. Tanzania / Zanzibar are quite expensive, but rates in White Sand are high, and they do not miss an opportunity to charge you extra. I just felt like a piata from which they tried to extract the last cents.

the beach

they used us$ in everything

every thing was fantastic, the sfaff was amazing and helpful all the facilities are completely the best

The hotel is absolutely gorgeous, very well maintained, elegant decoration, you have privacy, the location is perfect: just a few steps from the beach. The staff try their best to be attentive, despite some are naturally friendly (like Rosemary, Joshua and the man that learnt chess with my kids ) but others are not so in a good mood. Service depends on people but in general you feel that the aim of the hotel is make the guests feel comfortable and happy on their holidays. Keep up the good job.

Im very demand regarding food (in Portugal we have delicious food from A to Z: fruit, vegetables, deserts, seafood, meat ) and I would say there is space to improve on the quality of the food in the hotel. The bread and pastry at the breakfast can improve (diversity and quality), always granola and no other cereals, same jam during the week, any good homemade cake. These are a few examples and I hope for good. Another topic: I would say the catalogue of experiences / activities are overpriced even if you have in account that usually hotel prices are higher than outside the hotel. Here the differences are more than double so maybe could be revised.
