Mambo Ocean Resort

Liked the fact it was quiet and slow paced

Mattress was too firm and pillows too large

Food was very delicious, staff friendly and attentive. Good amount of options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The hotel wasn’t too busy, which was great for our family. We felt very safe. On top of that it was great value for money!

The breakfasts were delicious, although I would have loved to have seen more Swahili foods offered for breakfast. The hibiscus juice and baobab juices were especially extraordinary, and the passion fruit juice. The fresh fruits at breakfast were extraordinary. My room was extremely comfortable. All of the staff were wonderfully warm and welcoming. I felt really sad at having to leave behind so many Tanzanians' smiling warm faces when it was time to leave. (I want to say a special thank you to the front office staff Alex and his brother, whose name I think was Sajaad, or Sajid. They were both wonderful, and arranged a day's tour of Stone Town for me.) Amanda (I think that was her name?), the Romanian woman who was a manager and perhaps one of the owners (?) was also very personable and welcoming. And of course it was brilliant to walk way out into the Indian Ocean in the morning, during powerfully receded tide, to see and hear the local women harvesting their seaweed/kelp "crops" and singing. The beach was just beautiful, but when I went walking on it mid-morning, I used an umbrella to ward off the powerful sunshine. In short, I think that I'd stay here again if I revisited this area of Zanzibar.

I would have liked to have seen more Swahili foods offered for breakfast. Also, not surprisingly, I thought that the restaurant's dinner was overpriced (although delicious), compared to the nearby Swahili restaurant Mzuri (and at Mzuri I was able to interact with local Zanzabari people who actually came and sat at my table with me!). Also the huge TV near the beach was noisy at night when it would have been nice simply to have been able to hear the ocean, but I stayed during the World Cup, and a few guests were fixated on watching it - so sitting at the edge of the beach at night trying to listen to the ocean became impossible with the TV's blaring noise. Also as a conscientious visitor it was a bit weird and disturbing to *be* in such a sumptuous hotel that bordered a village in which so much absolute poverty was evident...the reality of wealth vs poverty. Lastly, BE VERY WARY in the ocean of sea urchins and jellyfish...I would advise walking in wearing Crocs or some type of sandal-ish shoe to protect your feet.

Nothing

L’hôtel est propre, décoré avec goût et bien équipé avec de nombreux jeux (fléchettes, tennis de table, volley-ball, etc.). La chambre était très propre et très confortable et le personnel sympathique.

Attention à la fraîcheur des viandes au restaurant… Le salon de coiffure pourrait être doté d’un siège approprié, pour un hôtel 4 étoiles, ce serait bien plus adapté.

Aamiainen oli hyvä, oli mahdollista tilata menusta. Huoneet sijaitsivat ihanan lähellä valkoista hiekkarantaa, jossa pystyi näkemään erikoisia mereneläviä. Majoituspaikka oli sopivan kokoinen, ei liian iso.

Yhden huoneen suihkusta tuli huonolla paineella vettä. Se olisi varmaan korjattu jos olisimme hoksanneet kertoa siitä heti.

hotel tres bien situé, bord de l'océan, personnel souriant, chambre propre et spacieuse

piscine très petite

Super hotel belle emplacement, personnel adorable, jolie jardin très bien entretenu !!!!! Tout est parfait pour un agréable séjour

Au niveau restaurant très bonne cuisine mais les tarifs sont excessifs
