What a place!

Reviewed By I8462YRcharliec

My time at samaki lodge and spa was short but sweet. It was my first time to zanzibar so didn’t know what to expect. But it was brilliant! The staff were lovely and friendly, made us feel very at home and made it clear that they were happy to help any problems we may have encountered. My highlight of the stay would have to be the waiter who works at Kamakocha - Stefan (the on-site restaurant). He was the best waiter I have ever had the pleasure of being served by. To say his smile lit up a room would be an understatement! He really was a treat and accommodated any food or drink requirements we needed. I would return to samaki and would highly recommend to any other people thinking about staying in Uroa.

Asante Sana!!! I’ve read so many reviews before going and I can say that the bad ones couldn’t be more wrong. We’ve had a blast. There are plenty of drink options from the all-inclusive first page, the food was tasty no complaints there. Please say thank you to all your staff they are so friendly and loved meeting them! Everything might not have been completely perfect, our bathroom light did not work and there were a few jik and staysoft/oily stains on our bedding, but it didn’t bother us. It was clean and you rarely spend any time in your room anyway. Also maybe a small tuck shop selling those coneball ice cream and small packets of chips and little snacks at good prices for South Africans too. A shop with lilos/tubes even old tractor tubes for the pool would be great. The excursions that we booked there were also great. We’ve done 3 days of them. Do not book less than 7 days if you plan on doing excursions. Time flies when you are having fun! Thank you I would love to go back again!

Beware!

Reviewed By toddpask

Beware! We have a large group traveling to Zanzibar and decided to book a stay here. After discussion for multiple weeks with the villa manager we came to an agreement on what our group rate would be. They sent a confirmation email and then suddenly went cold. No more responses or communication of any kind. This has really put us out as our other options are now booked and we still don’t have a place to stay. I’m not sure if they were scamming me, found a better deal with another group, or were just plain dishonest. Regardless we feel very mistreated and wronged and would not recommend their services to anyone.

Uncomfortable stay

Reviewed By N6631LJmark

The positives first. The pool is amazing and staff keep it super clean (not easy as it is right on the beach) Staff were great The not so positive...we left a night early after having our suspicions confirmed that the lodge was actively being used for sex tourism. This was for us not acceptable on our holiday where we wanted to relax and chill, not watch middle aged European women getting friendly with local guys. It was unfortunately very overt and obvious. We have subsequently done research and sex tourism is a thing on the East coast of Zanzibar. No judgment just important to let people know so you can make a decision about where you want to stay. Think that with a lodge so close to the beach better security may be needed to dissuade groups of men hanging around looking for business. In terms of the lodge it was little run down, not bad but rustic rather than luxury. Two local restaurants do great local food and seafood/veggie options at local prices. Lodge itself charges a lot and is the first place in 6 weeks in Africa that has not had free drinking water.

Moonshine Uroa Boutique Hotel

Panorama e tranquillità

Reviewed By 882gerardom

La struttura è tenuta benissimo, la nostra camera fronte mare veramente intima e con una vista stupenda sulla spiaggia di uroa. Il personale è stato gentile e premuroso, e qui finisce il positivo. Il primo giorno, arrivati al ristorante ci hanno consegnato il menù abbiamo scelto diversi piatti ma non avevano niente di quello elencato, allora ci siamo affidati a quello che avevano.... un piatto di patatine fritte. Abbiamo riprovato la sera, premetto il proprietario si era scusato del pranzo, e per la sera ci aveva promesso del buon pesce e così è stato. Il giorno seguente x colazione una tristezza: barattolo Nutella aperto e vasetto sporco idem la marmellata tre biscotti qualche dolcetto e fette di cocomero tagliate a fettine questo x i 3/4 gg successivi poi qualcosa è migliorato con una scelta di prodotti più ampia. X rinfrescarsi nel primo pomeriggio abbiamo provato a chiedere della frutta ( ananas o altro )ma avevano solo banane, e ci è stata portata una di quelle piccole locali divisa in 3 pz. Leggendo le recensioni precedenti abbiamo letto che la maggior parte delle persone ha avuto il solito problema, quindi non abbiamo fatto più nessuna richiesta e ci siamo rivolti altrove x mangiare. E con grande dispiacere abbiamo notato che i prezzi delle altre strutture erano molto più bassi e con una qualità maggiore. Consiglio: fatte pagare qualcosa in più ma presentate una colazione migliore ( utilizzate marmellate e cioccolate monodose).
