TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar

TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar

8/10 Good
"Our inbound transportation wasnโ€™t there due to misunderstanding on the hotel part even though we had called and exchanged few emails but they found a quick solution for us and it went very smoothly. I would suggest to add some snacks (cookies, cakes, crisps, chocolate bars, etc .) at the bar and not only drinks to make it more convenient."
