Beach Resorts in Stone Town

"Great character property with beautiful bedrooms that are mostly individual. Great upstairs pool and elegant lounge salon in main building. Only minor issue is the road facing rooms above the entrance has several elderly men who talk incessantly 18 hours a day in a loud booming voice, but there in nothing the hotel can do about that.

Breakfast area with its world class view lacks elegant chairs that lessens its leisurely appeal. I had to remind myself all the time I was in a 4 star hotel...

"Nice spacious room a minute or so walk away from the main Tembo hotel (where check in and all facilities are located) Hotel has very nice pools and is directly on the

. The area of the

is a busy area with many of the small boats boarding passengers arriving/departing for day trips. If you intend to visit the Tortoise Sanctuary on prison island, you couldn’t be better located. The Freddie Mercury museum is also a 2 min walk away. The hotel is not licensed to sell alcohol, but there is...

"Awesome location and view of the Indian Ocean. From our balcony we had direct view of the

and the ocean. The room was spacious, with nice and comfortable furniture, and bedding. Very nicely decorated. Very clean and one of the best stays that we had. Staff were super nice and accommodating. We loved having drinks and appetizers outside on the deck. Live music added to the very pleasant atmosphere. We will definitely stay here again. "

"Excellent location, many shops and restaurants nearby. Very close to the

"I was not offered a room Upgrade or acknowledged for VIP on Expedia like usual . At check out I asked about bottle of wine and 10 usd credit . They forgot the wine and they usually give a fruit basket instead of 10 dollars credit . I didn’t receive the fruit basket after discussing they agreed to take 10usd off the restaurant bill. I rather be given the options stated when booked then ask for it . Also no elevator . One party member couldn’t use the stairs and this we didn’t realize . We had...

"The building has an interesting history and is furnished and equipped in authentic detail. The location is easy walking distance from the Dar ferry; across the street is a fishermen's

, which is also where many boat tours start. Food was good both in the main restaurant (overlooking the

) and in the small coffee shop at street level."

"Had an excellent stay at the Maru Maru hotel. I've been here twice and the service, room, and accessibility to the rest of Stone Town were great. The rooftop restaurant has an incredible view of Stone Town. Would highly recommend Maru Maru."
