SBH Monica Zanzibar

Location, resort, staff, rooms

Nothing

Good location just south of Paje, so you can walk to nice restaurants and coffee places nearby. Big and comfortable bed and good AC. Fresh water everyday.

Clearly rushed to open, lots of unfinished items, from plastering of the walls to doors poorly closing. Shower provides minimal (30 liter) hot water, that’s not enough. Noise in room from doors ‘slamming’ nearby. This hotel is focused on Polish all inclusive customers so it’s buffet food that leaves much to be desired for. Breakfast is decent but we were very disappointed with the dinner so we changed our half board to breakfast only (thank you). The drinks are very pricey compared to the Zanzibar price level. There’s a ‘disco’ every evening giving noise in the rooms. We were happy to leave.

Location right on the beach

Their in-house pharmacy is a rip off, over charged for regular medication by a lot. Was not happy

Location, spacious rooms, price.

All meals were low quality esp the breakfast. The staff is not knowledgeable at all, despite being friendly they were very slow and non effective. Pool is not up to 5 star hotel standards. Very frequent power cuts and low water pressure in the shower.

The location, the room, the bed, the spa

The breakfast (terrible..), the management of the hotel, clearly not at a level of a 5 stars hotel

Clean, modern and not overly crowded / large

Not a property issue but the beach ‘boys’/ locals - I know it’s an issue in Zanzibar but as a solo woman I don’t like being harrassed when walking from hotel beach into the sea - they did get the hint quickly though

Great location, very friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms, very good food, highly recommended

Staff, facilities, room, vibes

Room cleanliness, sometimes i find bad smell in the room and towels should be changed everyday. There is no food variety

Breakfast was good and the location was good. The staff members are awesome and other parts of the hotel were still under construction. The rooms were superb and the white sand beach was beautiful and awesome to walk on. I could visit this resort again definitely.

Dinner did not have much variety if you did not eat seafood.
