Services and Amenities

The 24-hour front desk staff speaks German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, and Swahili. CCTV systems are installed in public areas, including the bar and restaurant. Rocky Bar is available for drinks and socializing. A sandbar runs perpendicular to an existing sandbar due to an underwater river near the kite center.

“This hotel's position directly on Jambiani Beach and its seafood focus create a strong impression, particularly for those seeking marine adventures and local flavors; the eco-tours to protected parks also stand out. While the social scene at Rocky Bar offers a chance to connect with locals, the hotel's location away from Zanzibar's busier areas ensures a more relaxing stay. It's a family-friendly place with authentic experiences.”
