Among the various facilities of this property are a shared lounge, a terrace and a bar. The accommodation offers nightclub and a concierge service. We loved Zen Boutique so much! We felt extremely welcome and the staff were all wonderful. We were given a lot of information and offered support in organising activities. Our suitcase was lost and the staff took care of the communication with the airport, making sure our luggage arrived at destination. The Resort is beautiful and located on the edge of the forest. It was very special, especially during sunset. The food and cocktails were also very good and breakfast amazing. It all feels very new and is decorated with taste. The outside bathroom was also a very cool experience. Best place we stayed in Zanzibar, and there were quite a few. We’ll definitely be back!

I was surprised that there were no mosquitoes. the internet was missing in the room, but the internet connection was very fast in the restaurant. I recommend coming by car. Drive around the whole island. it is a good point for trips and attractions in the area.
