We arrived at the hotel with a very smooth airport transfer organized by the accommodation. The hotel is a beautiful house in the style of old stone town buildings. The owners were of great company and cared for any of our needs. The restaurant for me was the top notch and very fairly priced. Overall for all of us was am amazing and relaxing experience.

Isla Bonita is a wonderful place with friendly and helpful stuff. We were welcomed as old friends. The rooms are clean and cozy with fantastic sea view. Also you can go to the roof to see amazing sunrise. We loved this quiet place, we enjoyed walking along the wide beach, we miss our small talks with general manager. Thanks for unforgettable time at Isla Bonita! BTW if you enter the beach and turn left there is a nice place to eat called Spicy mama with tasty authentic food and european service.

This is one of the best places I have stayed at. The room was great (we stayed in the new bungalows - highly recomend), the staff was super friendly and the place in general has a great vibe. We stayed there for a week, we were working remotely so we used their "digital nomads space". The interent worked pretty well 90% of the time. The restaurant had decent options and it wasn't pricy at all.

We loved Ocean Breeze! We felt so welcome from the moment we first stepped in. The room was HUGE and very comfortable - they've recently renovated the rooms, entryway and kitchen area. They all look great. I cannot comment enough on how friendly the staff all were, and how willing they were to make your time on Zanzibar the best time ever. Thanks to Abdalla for always going above and beyond to help us, Abduli for walking us to the markets and a quiet local beach, and Esther for the amazing breakfasts every morning.

    Charming Boutique hotel lovingly designed down to the smallest detail. Wonderful rooms, large balcony, great breakfast and dinner. White powdery sand beach only one step away - quiet and clean at all times. Amazing owners. Very friendly and always helpful staff. Arranged for me everything. Service level: 10++/10. You come as a stranger and leave as a friend. Recommendation: 100%
