The room is clean. I did not see mosquitoes and other living creatures, Linen was changed and clean. Everything worked, the water was constantly hot, Wi-Fi was flying, the air conditioner and fan worked, there was a kettle, there were enough hangers. They gave adapters. Breakfasts are the same. Omelet, scrambled eggs, Pancakes, porridge.

Omelet, scrambled eggs, Pancakes, porridge. Coffee and tea. Take as much fruit as you like. Glass everywhere and grids too. The staff is slow, they forgot to bring water, but when reminded they carried it quickly,
Great animation software.
Restaurant "kebab-mashlyk" nearby cooks well. The selection of seafood is great.
Servings are $4-5.
Portions are normal. The guys are friendly. Always ready to help.
English is poorly known. But it is possible to agree.
Maybe I got such a room, but the neighbors are also happy.
Of the minuses, compatriot Maria.
There is no kindness, only arrogance.
Cool excursions.
The sun is hot. And on the beach there are sun loungers with hangings improvised from sheets, but the ocean is within easy reach.
The fruits are very sweet and cheap.
Sea of impressions. I will definitely come again.

Sorry in advance for the long story. And now, in order, choosing this hotel, we were guided by a good rating, reviews and photos on Booking. Despite the fact that in connection with New Year's Eve (from 29.12. 21 to 07.01. 22) we had to overpay, we did not forget that after all we were not flying to the richest country! But what we saw immediately upon check-in shocked and spoiled the impression from the first seconds! My husband and I were placed in a room approximately 3 m by 4 m (including a combined shower, toilet and washbasin) with no doors between this unfurnished room and a room without a window (on the video you can see the windows in the bathroom and these are all sources of sunlight), with yellow mold on wall and the corresponding smell of mold + cigarettes! (A video of mold and undercooked is attached).

(A video of mold and undercooked is attached).
The request to move us (not forgetting to offer a surcharge), we were denied!
While we were trying to get what was stated in the sources and what was paid for, it turned out that the discrepancy between the photo and reality is explained by the fact that we were settled not in the paid Tropicana Beach, but in the neighboring "barrack" called Tropicana Garden, while, at every step they tried to convince us that this is one network and, we are indignant in vain!
After talking with our guide Alexander, we were moved to a larger room in the same barrack next door, already with a window, but without glass? ? ? ? . And they promised to prepare a room in Tropicana Beach (as the room was, but due to the fact that it is constantly flooded with rain through the unfinished floors !!! , everything is also moldy there and plastering and painting of the ceiling is required).
A few words about our room (where we were moved after the first "nightmare") - a double bed, a shelf (not a closet), 2 wicker chairs and 2 wicker tables (with rusty nails), air conditioning (does not cope with its task during the daytime), fan and iron (with a regular plug), but the sockets are all of the English standard.
I had to strain a little more to get an adapter, and then it became clear that due to the influx of a large number of vacationers who decided to celebrate New Year's Eve in an exotic country, the hotel could not cope and even basic things were missing, including sometimes food! ! ! !
There were 3 cleanings in 9 days, despite the fact that the guys in the main and new buildings did it every day ...On the 3rd day we went to ask for cleaning ourselves, and somewhere in the middle of the rest it turned out that they did not have a second key, so in order for us to be cleaned, we need to leave the key at the reception (despite the fact that my husband and I are both English-speaking, we had to collect all the information bit by bit).
On the 5th day of our vacation, after 2 approaches to repairing the ceiling in the promised room, unfortunately, the smell of mold did not go away, we had to stay in the old room, because we did not want to earn health problems for ourselves.
All these days, our guides tried to accustom us to the thought: “What did you expect? … This is Zanzibar! . . ".
No sound arguments about the mismatch of the number with the declared photo and some criteria of stardom did not work at all!
In response, they answered us (a quote from another Anex Tour guide - Maxim): “And why did you get the idea that there should be glass on the window in the Standard Room? ! ".
Perhaps this would not have been a big problem if it weren’t +30 outside the window, and under the windows there wasn’t a booth of locals who constantly hung out and smoked there, as well as daily garbage collection around 6:30 in the morning with appropriate smells and “musical” accompaniment (below the video, watch with sound! ).
But I must admit that in addition to the repaired ceiling in the promised room (now someone can probably live there), they installed glass in our room. That is, during our vacation, we were still foremen supervising the repair work! ! !
The territory is non-existent.
And this is not a complete list of claims to this hotel!

It is impossible to describe all this horror! Food for 3. ng was spoiled! For our $70 extra. Number - this can be called a number for those. staff, with wooden windows and mold all over the walls! For three days we lived without air conditioning at +34 and 95% humidity. The answer of the hotel management: WHAT YOU WANT, IT'S THE SAME TROIKA! AND IN GENERAL YOU COME TO RELAX, DO NOT SIT IN THE ROOM! They put a current stabilizer, there was no light! There are also interruptions in water supply.

There are also interruptions in water supply. Opposite the reception, every morning at 6:00 loading garbage and screaming servants. In general, the ocean is beautiful!
You will go and grab the tools (you will definitely fix something and a STABILIZER).

We are currently resting in this hotel. All the reviews left earlier are partially true, but the comparison criteria for people are still different. Under the photo of the numbers you need to sign their category. And God forbid you take lower than Superior: you will be accommodated in a 1-storey building that always stinks of dampness, a semi-basement gloomy room with African-style rooms.

Under the photo of the numbers you need to sign their category. And God forbid you take lower than Superior: you will be accommodated in a 1-storey building that always stinks of dampness, a semi-basement gloomy room with African-style rooms... for an amateur. Cleanliness here is generally a relative concept... she waved a broom and left clean... the bed is all stained, the towels are the same.
In the middle of the rest, I freaked out - we paid extra and took a suite by local standards 'Aquamarine': the advantage is a huge terrace overlooking the sea and tiles in the bathroom. It is located in the main building of Ur, we moved out of the barracks... Who writes that this hotel is the best, they simply have not been to others. I recommend Roks 4 *. The food at the hotel is 4 out of 5. In general, the kitchen plus / minus is the same everywhere and the prices too. So far, in 6 days we have not found a restaurant where it was very good. delicious, alas. We break away on fruits and fresh ($ 2 in our hotel).
Magnificent clean azure warm ocean, friendly lazy slightly local, beautiful little animals. Everything else is wonderful! My December in Zanzibar is full of sunshine and smiles! Thanks!
P. S. Hotel in sl. time we will choose more carefully. Be sure to take panthenol, sun Pts. aggressive from 11, and there is no panthenol on the island. There are few mosquitoes. Allergy sufferers must take antihistamines. And do not expect high service, so as not to spoil your holiday. All health and wellness! : )

The territory is small, but we only spent the night at the hotel. The odd numbers overlook the courtyard with the pool. Each has its own terrace with a table and a large dryer.
The beach at low tide is beautiful, you don’t feel at all that it is there. Depth through 2-3 meters from the coast is sufficient to swim.
Road to the beach 4-5 min.
We only had breakfasts, everything is quite tasty, the choice is small, if something runs out, especially fruits, they bring new ones.
We dined on the menu in our restaurant, everything is delicious and the prices are reasonable.
The course for $1 is 2300 shillings. We ate for 61000 for three. Without alcohol.

Exit to the ocean 2 minutes. In the evening you can listen to your favorite music, watch a concert, smoke a hookah and, of course, have a delicious meal. I definitely recommend!! !

My wife and I flew in January 2021. We didn’t choose where to fly for a long time, for obvious reasons, we accidentally found Tropicana - the price came up, the pictures in the reviews came up, the description too.

Long flight, but I got ready, 0.5 whiskey and everything is fine (I don't like to fly, )).
By hotel:
Pretty normal rooms. There is air conditioning, there is a fan and a mosquito net, you can safely open the balcony door and sleep peacefully all night, enjoying the sound of the Indian Ocean and the rustle of a tropical night. There is warm water in the shower, soap and shampoo are not given upon check-in. Clothes hanger with a pair of coat hangers, everything that does not fit will be in a suitcase, or on a table...
In terms of nutrition: it was delicious, and lobsters, and king prawns, and meat dishes, everything is tasty and affordable, for every pocket. By the way, I advise you to order soup in coconut, very much nothing to taste and original serving. Evening animation is excellent, active and at the same time unobtrusive. Chelu on the bar separate respect! ! !
Especially for those who are going to this country, especially those who are used to an all-inclusive vacation, I warn you - this is not Turkey or Egypt at all, remember this, everything is different here.
What I would like to say about this wonderful country is beautiful sunrises and sunsets, fresh sea air, and hospitable people. In short, don't be afraid to go to Zanzibar, enjoy nature and relax.

The room has a comfortable bed, a small balcony, a safe, a hairdryer and even an iron.
Rooms are cleaned every day, for 3 stars it's just gorgeous.
It is noticeable that the girls are trying very hard, decorating the bed with flowers.
Coming from the sea, it is a pleasure to see such beauty.
Kendwa beach is 2 minutes walk, by far the best, we had the opportunity to compare, rented a car for a couple of days.
Every 2-3 days at the hotel there are various show programs, massai shows, dances, local songs, etc.
The restaurant has a good selection of seafood, tried almost everything.
The portions are huge, the husband always helped. I really liked salads, fresh juices and of course grilled seafood.
Objectively evaluating the hotel, I liked everything, there is simply nothing to complain about.
Our holiday was a success, I recommend the hotel 100%.

It is never boring on Kendwa, there is a large selection of restaurants, shops, a disco nearby.
Two weeks flew by unnoticed, I didn’t want to return to cold St. Petersburg at all ; -(((
