Hotel Verde Zanzibar - Azam Luxury Resort and Spa - Dry Hotel

8/10 Good
"Hôtel isolé de tout et entrée principale en travaux . Complexe propre et petit déjeuner correct . Dans l ensemble le personnel est accueillant par contre le service de chambre laisse à désiré . Parfois pas de serviette en arrivant le soir car les sales ont été prises mais pas remplacées . Il aura alors fallu plus de 2h et 8 appels pour en obtenir 2 autres alors que nous étions 4 dans la chambre. De même pour l eau. De plus le ménage a duré 2h pour un résultat juste correct . Mais en gros l hôtel est gentil"

"Our inbound transportation wasn’t there due to misunderstanding on the hotel part even though we had called and exchanged few emails but they found a quick solution for us and it went very smoothly. I would suggest to add some snacks (cookies, cakes, crisps, chocolate bars, etc .) at the bar and not only drinks to make it more convenient."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Changuu Island?
The best area to stay on Changuu Island is the main accommodation area near the historic prison and the giant tortoise sanctuary.This central part of the island is where you'll find the primary lodging options. It's concentrated around the island's most well-known attractions: the former prison building, which now houses some of the island's facilities, and the famed sanctuary for Aldabra giant tortoises. The beach directly in front of this area is where most of the island's activities, like swimming and sunbathing, take place.For families, this area is ideal due to its proximity to the tortoise sanctuary. Children will love the opportunity to interact with these ancient creatures, and the calm, clear waters just off the main beach are great for a relaxed swim. The convenience of having everything within a short walk makes it stress-free for parents.Couples seeking a tranquil escape will also appreciate this location. The evenings are particularly quiet, offering a peaceful setting for stargazing or enjoying the sound of the ocean.
When is the best time to go to Changuu Island?
