Jambiani Resorts

"The Cinnamon Hotel offers an exceptional stay with friendly and professional staff. The hotel is immaculately clean, and the manager, who may also be the owner, was always available to assist. They organized a seamless airport taxi pickup, with the driver waiting upon our arrival. The rooms were spotless, with daily changes of towels and bedding. The shower was excellent, providing both warm and cold water. We appreciated the management's attentiveness, especially when we stayed late; a staff member and a security guard were always present. However, the breakfast options could use more variety for longer stays. For short stays, the breakfast is satisfactory. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. If I visit Zanzibar again, I'll definitely return to Cinnamon."

" This has to be one of the best hotels I have stayed in..ever! And I am not a novice traveller, I’ve stayed in lots of luxury hotel chains but the aesthetics, customer service and vibe at this beautiful boutique tops them all. I had a feeling I would enjoy my stay at booking when the manager Madalina messaged me. There was something about her messages that made me feel special and that the hotel wanted to do everything to assure my stay was comfortable. When I arrived I was upgraded to one of their best rooms, overlooking the sea, it the was most beautiful stay. Madalina and the staff made me feel at home. If you wanted to do something the hotel would book for you, ensured you got back safe and you didn’t have to pay a single penny until check out. The food was also amazing, I would say on the slightly pricier side but one of the best things about the breakfast in particular was that there was no end time. SO you could eat when you wanted! I don’t think I experienced a hotel that does this. It just made the whole experience amazing. At the end of my stay the hotel provided a thoughtful gift. It’s a place that I will recommend to my friends and if I were to ever return to Zanzibar it’s the first place on my list to stay again. Other hotels really need to take a leaf out of this places book! Thank you Madalina and team for an amazing stay! "

"Het staat op een mooie plek, de pool is fijn met altijd voldoende strandbedjes en het personeel in de bar erg lief en aardig, het ontbijt is erg goed. So far so good… Maar de kamers: de verwachtingen waren hoog gespannen vanwege de prijs, foto’s, het zwembad en reviews uit het verleden. In eerste instantie werden wij geplaatst in een van de twee kamers met ‘garden view’ (wat alleen maar een groenstrook voor de achterpoort bleek te zijn), wat ons al verbaasde aangezien wij in de veronderstelling verkeerden dat alle kamers rondom het zwembad lagen. Na 2 nachten gardenside konden we naar een kamer aan de pool. Daar bleek echter de airco kapot, het douchewater niet meer weg te lopen en een lamp te knipperen. Uiteindelijk laat op de avond dus toch maar weer terug naar onze oude kamer. Volgende ochtend alsnog naar een andere kamer aan de poolside. Hier bleek het matras zo oud en versleten dat het tijk was gescheurd, ingezakt met twee enorme kuilen, verre van relaxt. In plaats van een deur voor de badkamer/wc hangt er een krap gordijntje (privacy nul), vloeren zijn gescheurd, oude lekkages rondom wc hebben hun sporen achter gelaten, en het houten vlonder voor de douche is zwart uitgeslagen. Het interieur is gemaakt met veel stijgerhout: kan heel leuk en hip zijn, maar is op een gegeven moment aan vervanging toe. 7 jaar geleden (toen was het gebouwd) zal t waarschijnlijk fantastisch zijn geweest, maar er is al jaren niets meer aan gedaan. Daardoor loopt het hard achteruit. "

"Very nice hotel with amazing surroundings, great staff, great rooms and a beautiful pool area! Also the small towns nearby are super fun with some great food options. Definitely recommend this place — enjoyed it a lot more than other places in Zanzibar."

"Very nice and welcoming staff "
