“Set right on the beach, this small hotel has an easy charm, where the staff are helpful and the Italian food hits the spot; the ocean view rooms are a plus. Yes, the generator can be noisy during Zanzibar's frequent power outages, and some may find the furnishings basic. Overall, this is a good option for a relaxed, quiet escape.”
