Find 4-Star Hotels in Kaskazini A

"The entire island experiences intermittent power outages. I encountered this about three times a day in both the restaurant and my room, each lasting less than ten seconds before power was restored. Some of the staff, especially a female chef at one of the restaurants (the head chef rotates nightly), showed clear disdain for Asian guests. Upon check-in, a male front desk staff member saw that I only had a small backpack (a tiny summit pack, as my main luggage was left in Kilimanjaro and not brought to Zanzibar). I was already carrying it myself, but he forcibly took it from me, even after I told him it wasn't necessary, clearly trying to earn a tip. Once in the room, he kept making small talk and wouldn't leave, seemingly afraid I wouldn't tip him. I ended up giving him one. When I was checking out, my flight was delayed, so I asked if I could extend my check-out by an hour. The staff confirmed that an extension wasn't possible, but I could still use the hotel's beverage, snack, and other facilities. Since I had an all-inclusive package, I double-checked with a male staff member on the phone and a female staff member at the front desk about getting a drink, given my flight was delayed by three hours (my check-out was at 12 PM, and I hoped to leave around 1 PM). They both said it was fine. So, at 12:30 PM, I had a glass of orange juice by the pool. At 1 PM, as I was leaving the hotel, I was stopped and asked to pay. The staff member who had previously confirmed this with me, along with another server (not the beverage server), debated with me in front of their supervisor. Eventually, the supervisor, James, intervened and told me I could leave. One of the bartenders at the beach bar also displayed discrimination towards Asians, practically fawning over white guests. I sat there for ages, and he ignored me even after I politely asked for the menu twice, pretending not to hear. As soon as a white person sat down, he was instantly there, chatting them up. Overall, I'm dissatisfied with the service. Some staff members' English was poor, leading to communication misunderstandings (and I've studied English for many years and graduated with an English degree). The excessive debating in front of a customer also doesn't reflect good service. There were instances of discrimination and being forced into tipping. The entire service experience was very poor. The beach, however, is excellent, and the hotel's location is good."

"The value for money is average; the price is a bit high, which is understandable since it's a tourist spot and a bit far from the beach. This is likely due to it being newly renovated. The hotel sign isn't even up yet. However, the owner's service is really excellent."

"Good hotel, the grounds are small but well-maintained. Breakfasts are standard, everything you need is there, nothing fancy, but it's a shame there's no variety. The hotel and restaurant staff are friendly and go out of their way for guests. The beach isn't perfectly clean, I wouldn't say that (trash cans, ashtrays, dishes are rarely cleared). The rooms are decent, with minor imperfections, but they didn't bother us. Overall, I recommend it, a solid 4+ star hotel."

"This hotel is incredibly beautiful, with a rich and amazing atmosphere! It's located on one of the most stunning beaches, Kendwa Beach! We were very happy with our stay here. The rooms are all clean and lovely, with everything you need, including air conditioning, so you won't be hot! Housekeeping is daily, and the hotel grounds are huge, with lots of plants and walking areas. The large restaurant serves incredibly delicious food! In the morning, you can enjoy a buffet breakfast with a huge variety of incredibly tasty dishes. In the evenings, the restaurant prepares amazing meals! My recommendation is to try their fish of the day and BBQ shrimp, as well as the Idaho rolls – absolutely delicious! Every evening, dinner is accompanied by some kind of show, performance, songs, or dancing! This really adds to the wonderful atmosphere of the place! The hotel has direct access to the beach, which is incredibly convenient! There are plenty of sun loungers on the beach, enough for all guests. The hotel is perfect for those who love a quiet and peaceful vacation, as everything here is designed for guests' comfort. They also congratulated us on a holiday, which was very touching and pleasant! A huge thank you to the hotel for their work and hospitality! We will definitely come back here again!"

"Отличное расположение, красивая территория, но маленькие номера"

"A great hotel for relaxation! I wish we had so little time here. Great staff, great food, interesting interior. Thank you!"

"My Blue Hotel is very beautiful and clean. The pool is the absolute highlight. From the pool you can enjoy the sunset super. At the beach there were always many free beds so you had a choice of place at any time. The staff distributed cocoa nuts on the beach daily. The staff is very friendly, food delicious and fresh, the evening program was varied, a very clean hotel. We would recommend it to everyone further. The location and the beach are superb. The hotel offers massages at a good price. We enjoyed the holiday in full trains. The internet was usually bad, however. In the room, there was little reception. This has potential for improvement."

"Have a good time at Smile Beach Resort. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and tidy. In the evening someone came to close the mosquito net and sprayed the mosquito spray. Breakfast and lunch are good, and we don’t use dinner because there are many restaurants nearby. I would like to mention the swimming pool and the seats on the beach, which are areas for improvement. They are very old and hard. The bed in the room is also very hard."
