An
absolutely
phenomenal
week
spent
at
Zawadi
for
the
second
leg
of
our
honeymoon!
We
spent
a
long
time
researching
the
very
best
hotels
in
Zanzibar
and
could
not
be
more
thrilled
that
we
came
across
Zawadi..
it
offered
us
everything
we
were
looking
for
on
our
honeymoon
and
more.
The
hotel
itself
is
breathtakingly
beautiful,
spectacularly
designed
around
nature
/
the
ocean
and
landscaped
to
perfection.
The
attention
to
detail
at
Zawadi
is
outstanding
and
every
inch
of
the
resort
is
exquisite
-
understated
elegance
really
is
the
best
way
to
describe
it!
Once
the
gates
to
Zawadi
open,
you
truly
feel
as
though
you
are
stepping
into
another
world,
one
of
total
tranquillity,
paradise
and
relaxation.
The
view
on
arrival
quite
literally
rendered
us
speechless...
fortunately
the
delightful
drink
and
warm
welcomes
helped!
We
were
so
surprised
by
how
large
each
villa
is,
designed
with
stunning
neutral
colours
and
a
captivating
view
of
the
Indian
Ocean
blues.
Your
personal
deck
is
also
equipped
with
a
hammock,
refreshing
plunge
pool
and
extremely
comfortable
sun
loungers.
If
we
could
live
in
the
Zawadi
villas,
we
would!
They
are
cleaned
twice
a
day
and
the
lovely
cleaners
lay
out
fresh
flowers
in
pretty
designs
after
every
clean
as
a
surprise
for
you
to
return
"home"
to.
They
even
pull
the
netting
across
the
bed
whilst
you
are
at
dinner
to
make
your
bedroom
super
cosy
for
your
return.
We
especially
enjoyed
the
surprise
bottle
of
champagne
on
arrival,
fresh
fruits,
sweet
treats
and
sun-downer
drinks
/
snacks
brought
to
our
room
every
evening.
The
"privacy
coconut"
really
made
me
chuckle
but
was
such
a
nice
touch
to
request
some
privacy
in
your
villa
when
needed!
Waking
up
each
day
to
the
view
from
our
villa
honestly
felt
like
a
dream
-
sparkling
blue
ocean,
swaying
palm
trees
and
the
most
beautiful
pink
flowers
I
have
ever
seen
(it's
currently
my
phone
screen-saver
and
will
be
for
a
long
time!)
The
food
at
Zawadi
is
honestly
exceptional
-
also
varied
and
plentiful!
Each
meal
was
delicious
and
so
skilfully
presented,
as
were
the
cocktails
available
at
any
time
of
day!
You
are
offered
a
menu
to
choose
from
for
lunch
and
dinner.
The
hotel
is
very
private,
with
only
12
villas
it
never
felt
too
busy
and
we
welcomed
the
peace
and
quiet
to
unwind
and
relax.
The
complementary
daily
snorkelling
trips
were
a
really
nice
touch
and
we
also
enjoyed
exploring
the
charming
farm
behind
the
hotel!
The
animals
were
all
so
sweet
and
friendly.
Finally,
I
could
not
write
such
a
glowing
review
without
mentioning
the
exceptional
Zawadi
team.
They
truly
are
some
of
the
most
wonderful
people
that
we
have
ever
met.
A
special
thank
you
to
Evelyne,
the
fabulous
General
Manager,
who
is
BEYOND
lovely
and
bent
over
backwards
every
day
to
ensure
that
we
were
having
the
most
incredible
stay.
She
was
always
around
to
answer
our
many
questions
and
her
enthusiasm,
friendly
personality
and
pure
love
for
her
job
are
testament
to
what
an
incredible
team
she
has
created.
She
organised
everything
for
us
perfectly
and
we
very
much
enjoyed
our
daily
conversations,
as
well
as
her
admirable
stories
about
her
time
in
Zanzibar!
A
huge,
huge
thank
you
to
the
rest
of
the
Zawadi
team
for
your
hard
work,
heartwarming
smiles
and
genuine
passion
that
you
throw
into
your
roles
each
and
every
day.
Thank
you
to
Noel
for
making
us
feel
so
well
looked
after,
as
well
as
to
Ali,
Iddy,
Raza,
Innocent,
Hamad
and
Chef
William
for
making
our
stay
SO
incredibly
memorable.
We
loved
getting
to
know
you
all
and
it's
honestly
thanks
to
you
that
Zawadi
really
sparkles!
Overall,
we
couldn't
fault
Zawadi
in
the
slightest.
If
you
are
looking
for
an
intimate,
luxury,
boutique
hotel
that
is
absolute
paradise
on
earth,
then
please
just
book
it!
The
reviews
and
the
photos
speak
for
themselves,
it
is
just
PERFECT
in
every
possible
way.
Thank
you
to
our
Zawadi
family
for
one
of
the
best
weeks
of
our
lives.
You
have
given
us
memories
that
we
will
cherish
for
life.
