We
are
just
finishing
a
fantastic
5
night
stay
at
the
Park
Hyatt
Zanzibar.
We
are
big
fans
of
the
Hyatt
brand,
especially
Park
Hyatt
and
Alila,
and
this
hotel
did
not
disappoint,
in
fact
our
expectations,
although
high,
were
met
or
exceeded
in
most
every
way.
We
arrived
at
7
pm
and
were
quickly
checked
in.
We
were
offered
Suite
3211
as
Hyatt
Globalist
using
a
suite
upgrade
certificate.
We
were
then
given
a
quick
tour
of
the
hotel
property,
by
Concierge
Fauzi,
which
is
in
two
buildings.
One
is
the
historic
residence
of
one
of
the
Omani
sultans.
The
other
is
the
main
hotel
and
dining/bar
area
opened
in
2015.
Fauzi
then
accompanied
us
to
our
suite
and
provided
some
of
his
restaurant
and
activity
recommendations
for
our
stay.
Our
first
impressions
of
the
suite
were
very
good.
We
have
stayed
in
a
number
of
Park
Hyatt's
and
this
property
compared
well
with
others
around
the
world.
The
suite
was
large
and
consisted
of
wo
rooms
and
two
balconies
with
gorgeous
views
of
the
Indian
Ocean
and
the
beach
below.
We
spent
a
lot
of
time
watching
the
boats
and
people
moving
into
and
out
of
the
harbor
and
along
the
beach.
There
is
noise
from
the
beach
at
certain
times,
especially
in
the
evening,
as
the
local
community
enjoys
the
beach
and
ocean.
It
was
not
a
problem
for
us
we
always
travel
with
a
sound
machine
that
blocks
out
most
noise.
I
mention
it
just
in
case
you
are
a
light
sleeper.
The
breakfast
was
really
one
of
the
best
ever.
Dominica,
Happiness,
Adventina
and
a
whole
host
of
other
capable
servers,
hostesses,
and
food
preparers
met
our
every
need.
I
have
attached
4
pictures
showing
a
portion
of
the
buffet
offers.
I
really
enjoyed
the
sparkling
wine
(not
the
cheap
stuff),
the
fresh
cut
coconuts,
fresh
juices,
and
local
favorites.
We
also
ate
twice
at
the
restaurant
for
dinner
and,
again,
the
food
was
really
good
and
the
service
over
the
top.
Especially
liked
the
lamb
biryani
served
in
a
clay
bowl
with
a
bread
coating.
See
photo.
The
drink
and
meal
prices
are
higher
than
most
places
nearby,
but
the
ambiance
and
service
are
worth
it.
We
also
enjoyed
the
pool
area
on
the
days
that
were
sunny.
The
gym
was
also
nice.
Some
of
the
treadmills
needed
service
and
I
mentioned
that
to
the
first
desk
staff
and
they
said
they
would
have
someone
look
into
that
maintenance.
Fauzi,
Abdul,
and
many
other
concierge
staff
were
helpful
throughout
our
stay
in
booking
dinner
reservation
and
activities.
We
took
the
Stone
Town
walking
tour,
which
was
really
good.
We
also
took
the
day
trip
to
an
island
on
a
private
dhow
(local
wooden
boat).
We
were
hoping
for
more
exclusivity
for
the
boat
tour
since
we
paid
quite
a
premium
to
have
a
private
boat,
but
the
places
we
could
go
were,
for
the
most
part,
crowded
with
boats
filled
with
people.
I
would
skip
that
tour
next
time.
It
is
not
the
Park
Hyatt's
fault,
and
I
don't
blame
the
concierge
staff
in
any
way,
but
it
just
wasn't
for
us.
Overall
great
stay
and
we
hope
to
return
again
sometime
soon
since
I
work
on
a
project
in
Tanzania
on
the
mainland
and
it
is
easy
to
get
to
Zanzibar.
