Guest reviews for TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar

Everyone (1)
4 out of 5
Pros: The Andiamo Italian place had the best food by far, probably the only thing that didn't get us sick
Cons: If you forgot to make a reservation for any of the restaurants you had to eat at the buffet. The Chinese one only had 5 tables, impossible to reserve
Location: Most activities are in Stone town, it's almost more easy to stay at a Hotel in Stonetown
Before I get into the negative I must say that all the staff was the best part of the trip, very accommodating. While the view is absolutely fantastic, room wasn't what I expected. I paid for a deluxe room yet I felt cheated. My friend who got the Junior suite had a much bigger room with a Jacuzzi included, and paid 300 less than I did! Also, all my bed sheets smelled like wet sock. Not cool. And of coarse on my last day, the electricity went out and we had to pack our bags in the dark. The electricians did come by but they were not able to figure out the issue. Lastly, all of us got food poisoning and the ride home was not pleasant at all!
