Zanzibar Town Vacation Packages

This property is underrepresented , it’s a well balanced blend of nature and contemporary living , with private pods you could confuse for a mini yatch, the lounges , swimming pools , live entertainment, excursions and yet most important is the most courteous staff , where anything with a possibly of discomfort is met with gentle and expedited resolution that you even forget it happened. The distance from the airport is eclipsed by the shuttle service and revelation of this serene and beautifully enclave harmonised with nature as it opens to the ocean with a clean beach. This is as my wife’s birthday and milestone which she celebrated in a special way that leaves an unforgettable experience. Its price point , amenities and experience is worth more than the listed rate. I would highly recommend it for individuals looking for a Zane time off , couples taking leave of the hustle ,groups . It’s one of the very few places with capacity to meet a diversity of needs. Looking forward to another holiday.

Resort itself is very clean and well maintained. Workers were always cleaning and keeping up. Food was really good, I just wish there was more availability for the restaurants. When we initially checked in, the only restaurant available all week was the buffet (which is still very good). Kudos to Chef Simon and his crew!!

While the Melia is a large property, below are pros and cons. Pros: Great pools. The golf cart service to get around is great and needed. If you are a "Level" guest you have personal concierge service to help you book activities and get room service. The villas with own pool are a wonderful family get-away to relax in. Cons: You may have items stolen from your room (we had multiple items of lower value stolen, which I suspect the young staff wanted to try - but the value isn't the point, it's that you can't trust items being left in your room). There is only one dine out option at Jetty Restaurant that offers a unique menu, other Melia's tend to have more. Depending on what level of patron you are you may also get to eat at the Level restaurant which has a set dinner menu. There isn't a lot of beach for walking on when the tide is in if you are looking for lots of walks. We also found getting our in-room water refilled was a continual problem, we'd ask for water in the morning and at 7 pm still be asking for water in our room. You are also far way from Stone Town, so if you want to explore other island areas be prepared for 1 12/ hour drive across or up island, which can take a large portion of your day. Finally, management's idea of help after I submitted a survey was to give a resort credit to replace our lost items - not helpful.
