Definitely not the best option to eat and sleep when in Jambiani. There are much better places around. Staff is very slow and not always friendly. Quit busy with there own telephones and friends. For example: when you book a taxi you don't get the best and safest driver, but the one who's there friend and give them the best commission. Rooms are very poor, simple and old. In desparate need of a renovation.Beste Dennis en Bart,not the best place, to adress your comments...From 2 adult guys I would have expected that I don't need to tell you that at the moment something is not according your expectations you should contact us directly face to face.The first evening of your stay you had dinner in our restaurant, my brother spoke with you and you told him the food was excellent.. Regarding the staff I surely can imagine you find them slow since you come from the Netherlands where a lot of people live a stressfull life at an extremely high pace which leads to a lot of irritation between people or in the worst case even burnouts. People here take it a little more easy and try to enjoy life to the max. Pity you couldn't let it go..On the other hand I have to disagree on your comment about unfriendly staff. Our staff is highly ranked regarding friendliness and positive guest relation, if you need some feedback about that check our reviews..Regarding the rooms you get what you pay for. Yes our rooms are simple, do we mention differently? Still you have a kingsize bed with matrasses imported from Europe, ceiling fans inside the mosquito nets to keep you cool, hot water from the Grohe shower sets, 10 meter from the beach and a private seaview terrace..Then the cherry on the pie.. Amazing that you dare to speak about the taxi driver. At your checkout you requested a taxi to fumba lodge. The front office manager called the taxi driver to inquire for the price. The driver mentioned his price and then you started to convince him that fumba lodge was at the same distance as the airport. You requested the same price as you paid to come from the airport since you assured him it will not be further. To make a long story short, you made this driver bring you to fumba lodge which was in total 30km more than what you said for the same price to go to the airport, shame on you!We highly appreciate feedback from our guests, but stay with the facts, and be honest.I hope after reading my feedback you will be able to evaluate all you just said and perhaps evaluate your way of communication as this is only degenerative instead of constructive..All in all we understand we can't please 100% of our guests, as long as we hit that 99% as we do we are happy. But try to be fair and don't put your unhappiness on others..All the best and hope you will have some brighter daysThomas

We didn't stay at Blue Oyster but we did visit 4 times for lunch during our 6 day stay at Jambiani. The food is delicious; generous portions, loads of vegetarian options and really friendly staff. The views are beautiful from the beach bar. Prices are the best value along Jambiani beach and you don't have to wait ages for food.

3. Coral Rock Italian Restaurant
Beautiful location, a unique restaurant with a 180 ° view over the most beautiful bay of Jambiani. Restaurant that combines Swahili flavors with original Italian dishes, made with love and passion. Enjoy a drink looking at the thousand shades of the sea,

The restaurant was recently taken over by Davide and Annalise from Italy and completely revamped. It is now serving lical and Italian cuisine. The new managers have put a lot if time, effort andclive into the place and the menu is full of amazing fare and the ambiance is once again warm and inviting with cool music amd a friendly vibe. Our group ordered various pastas, chapatis, local curries and home made noodles. For me the noodles were simply the best I've ever tasted. Think Italy meets Asia in the best way possible, a noodle made with a home made pasta approach. Divine. My veg curry was superb. The others raved about the Urchin pasta. It's really the best place we ate iverall in Zanzibar whilst there. It was slightly above average price wise, but worth it. The new managers are there constantly making sure the quality that comes from the kitchen is on point.

Nice restaurant and guesthouse, Tumbo, the manager of the restaurant, was very kind and served us very tasty and fresh food. The restaurant and guesthouse supports development projects on the island, therefore it´s even more pleasant to dine and stay there

A very, very pretty resort. Reminded us of Riviera Maya in Mexico. Disappointed that many things not explained to us on arrival. (e.g. accessing WiFi correctly...a happy hour existed at the pier bar but not at restaurant bar...hair dryers available at front desk....etc.) There was a big build up regarding dinner quality. It wasn't bad; however took 50 minutes to get once ordered. Made 3 trips to front desk trying to check out. Hakuna Matata.
