I had assumed incorrectly that Zanzistar was on the beach, so when I arrived, I was really disappointed. I felt claustrophobic in the garden which is surrounded on all sides by high fences. The beach bar which is a 5-minute walk away was underwhelming and there were lots of people smoking. Unless you lay in the front row, in the sun, you couldnt really enjoy the sea view. Unlike the photos, our room was very dark and it was impossible not to bring sand into the room without a deck/patio by the door. We only stayed 1 of the 4 nights and cur our losses and stayed elsewhere. On a positive note, Peter, the manager is a great guy and the Kingfish curry was delicious. Sorry to be a naysayer but on Zanzibar, I didn't want to be hemmed in.
