Good day to all.
I want to share my impressions of staying at the Zanoceanique Apartment Hotel 3 * in Zanzibar, which are located in the village of Matemwe.
We got to this hotel by accident. Arriving in Zanzibar, we were met by a representative of the Compass company and said that there were problems with water in the hotel we booked and we would be placed in another hotel, we didn’t really find out what kind of hotel, we just asked for the whole time we were accommodated or not? We were told that for all the time and we went by transfer into the unknown.
Upon arrival at the hotel, we were greeted with fresh mango juice and immediately placed in the room.
After spending a few days at the hotel and learning that it is new (2020), I decided to look at its description on the Internet. Since everywhere the bare facts of tour operators are indicated, I will leave my description of the review.
We rested as a couple from 01/05/2021 to 01/19/2021. The actual opening date of the hotel is 12/25/2020, almost 2021.
1. Territory.
The hotel is located on the second line, but there are no buildings in front of the hotel, only a palm grove, we can say that it is quite the first line, it is really 70-80 meters to the ocean, one minute walk.
The territory is small, well-groomed.
On the territory for guests there are three garden tables with chairs made of natural rattan under an umbrella made of palm branches, where in the company of friends you can drink beer and relax on a hot day. There is also a decent-sized pool consisting of two zones, for adults max depth is two meters (which is rare for hotels) and pleases with its coolness, and a zone for small children max 40 cm. The pool is cleaned every day early in the morning. In the evening, you can have a party near the pool without any problems. I was also pleasantly surprised by the fountain in which local crows swam during the day, fleeing from the heat. The territory is guarded, hotel guests are allowed into the territory without time limit.
2. Numbers.
The hotel consists of one five-storey building. On the ground floor there is a reception with cozy leather sofas, after breakfast it is convenient to sit and chat with the staff. Also on the ground floor there is a restaurant where breakfast is served for guests. And there is also a room, most likely a conference room.
On the second, third and fourth floors (numbered A, B, C) rooms for guests. On the fifth floor there is an open restaurant with a gorgeous panoramic view on all four sides, a bar counter and a terrace with tables. During our stay, it was still closed, at the stage of furniture delivery, this is understandable (the hotel is open only 10 days).
So, numbers.
Room 101 consists of a common living room of 40 meters, a balcony with seating and three bedrooms. In the living room there is a TV, a kitchen with a sink, kitchen cabinets, a comfortable sofa with cushions, a coffee table. Each bedroom has a TV, refrigerator, fan, air conditioner, bathroom with toilet and shower.
Room 102 also consists of an entrance hall of 16 meters (TV, sink, kitchen cabinets, sofa, ceiling fan, panoramic windows overlooking the ocean) and a bedroom of 18 square meters. meters. Here a bed two by two meters is unrealistically large, two bedside tables, a refrigerator, a ceiling fan, air conditioning. The bedroom has two windows, one panoramic overlooking the ocean, the other overlooking the pool. From the bedroom there is an entrance to the bathroom with a washbasin and a shower, there is also a boiler, hot water around the clock (whether it is needed at a latitude 6 ^ below the equator is another question).
Number 103 is similar to number 102, only in a mirror image. Room 104 also consists of an entrance hall (kitchen, TV, sofa, balcony, etc. ) and two bedrooms. The bedrooms have one large bed or two single beds. I think if you are relaxing with a child, you will be provided with an extra cot without any problems. We lived in room B102 (third floor).
Room cleaning and linen change every day. Every day two bottles of 0.5 liters of drinking water are left in the room. Towels in the room: two for hands, two for face, two for baths, one for feet (white, made in Pakistan), soap, shampoo, shower gel are also daily reported. The rooms have furniture, wooden doors, stone countertops. The curtains in the rooms are double, absolutely do not let in sunlight. After sunset, all rooms and rooms are treated against mosquitoes. During our stay, the hotel was installing an elevator.
3. Restaurant.
Breakfast is continental from 7.00 to 10.00. A glass of fresh juice: watermelon, mango, pineapple or mix. Plates of four kinds of fruits (banana, watermelon, pineapple, mango, papaya). Then the waiter will specify what you want for breakfast today: scrambled eggs, fried eggs, hard-boiled or soft-boiled eggs, chicken or beef sausages, stewed beans, pancakes. If desired, they will bring milk, butter, jam, tea (black, with choice, green, masala), coffee.
After breakfast, you can go on an excursion, the beach, relax in the garden or swim in the pool (you can swim around the clock). Near the pool there are trestle beds with beach towels that you can easily take to the beach.
4. Nutrition.
As such, the restaurant does not have a menu.
Every day for lunch and dinner, the chef offers several dishes to choose from (the principle of Al cards), the dishes are large and hearty. The average price tag is $8-12. It's not much more expensive than a "restaurant" on the beach with plastic utensils. There is excellent serving, dishes, serving, decoration. Good music sounds, candles are lit for dinner.
5. Staff.
In every place, wherever you are, you are surrounded by people, and from their attitude towards you, you get the impression of a place. From the first minute to the last moment, we had the impression that we had come to visit friends (acquaintances, relatives) or were at home. The “pole pole” option is not about these people. Any of your questions will be solved at once, from money exchange (the exchange rate is $ 1 = 2300 at the airport) to an individual order of dishes in a restaurant (the chef will cook whatever you want). The staff speaks excellent English, if you do not know the language, Google translator will help, since there is excellent Internet throughout the territory.
Having visited Zanzibar once again, I got the impression that the Indian Ocean appeared in Europe or Europe was transferred to the coast of the Indian Ocean (service, staff, atmosphere, cleanliness and comfort).
I was very surprised that the owner of the Zanzibar hotel was able to create European conditions and European level service.
Communicating with other guests of the hotel, everyone was surprised why the hotel has a 3 *, there is a solid four, and the attitude of the staff towards the guests is 5 *.
In my opinion, this hotel is great for couples, newlyweds, families with children, and a large company.
When we checked out of the hotel, we were not charged a resort fee. You can leave a tip if you wish.
P. S.
Dear hotel owner.
We wish prosperity to your business, may you always have many guests.
Take care of your staff, it worked perfectly!
If someone is interested in finding out other moments of the holiday: the beach, tides, shops, fruits, souvenirs, excursions, safaris in Tanzania, write to pp, I will be happy to answer. I'll try to add my photos. Photos of "Compass" are 100% true.
Have a good rest everyone.
