    lack privacy
    lizard intrusion

    this lodge sounded charming, but the intrusive lizards made it hard to relax. the shower was also a major issue, with its lack of privacy from prying eyes. i would've expected a complimentary bottle of wine after the inconvenience, but i guess that's too much to ask. overall, absolutely disappointing. I almost considered giving it a good review. just couldn’t.

    family activities
    beach access
    dining options

    Staying here was perfect for our family outing! The lodge is ideally located for exploring the entire island, offering activities like shell hunting on the beach and spotting fishermen at work. The tranquil gardens and pool were great spots for winding down after our adventures.

    My kids wished for a few more family-friendly dining options nearby.

    tropical paradise

    a hidden gem with incredibly welcoming staff and the most refreshing cocktails at the beach bar

    From the moment we arrived, we felt enveloped in a tropical paradise. The staff were incredibly welcoming, making us feel right at home. The daily fresh fruit breakfast was a delightful start to our mornings! The lodge's location allows for peaceful beach walks and breathtaking ocean views. It truly is a place to unwind completely and soak up the sun!

    local breakfast
    rough road

    The room was spacious with a delightful beachfront view. The staff were genuinely warm and went above and beyond to assist. Breakfast offered local flair, especially the spiced coffee and freshly baked bread.

    Though beautifully nestled in nature, the road access needs improvement, making arrival a bit challenging.

    outdoor shower
    lush gardens
    fresh seafood
    limited wifi

    My stay at mangrove lodge exceeded my expectations! The outdoor shower and lush gardens provided such a serene atmosphere after a busy walking tour in stone town. I really enjoyed the fresh seafood and the vibrant village atmosphere by the beach.

    wifi was only available in public areas.

    spacious bungalows
    delicious breakfast
    road conditions
    limited dining options
    challenging access

    The spacious bungalows are set within thriving gardens, creating a tropical paradise atmosphere that felt calming and immersive. The breakfast spread was diverse and delicious, featuring organic options that my vegan partner appreciated. However, access to the lodge was somewhat challenging due to the road conditions, and though the beach was beautiful, it lacked nearby dining alternatives. Despite these drawbacks, the genuine hospitality from the staff made for a memorable experience.

    infinity pool

    Just a smart choice for a brief retreat in Zanzibar with attractive and competitive value for money. The infinity pool was lovely and perfect for relaxing after a long day. Make sure to rent a bike for easier access to nearby attractions.
