Evergreen Bungalows 3 stars

Bwejuu

Evergreen Bungalows offers beachfront accommodation in Bwejuu. The property has a private beach area and bike hire and car hire are available. Zanzibar City is 37 km away. Free WiFi is offered and free private parking is available on site. My recent stay at Evergreen Bungalows in Zanzibar felt like stepping into a small piece of heaven on Earth. This enchanting retreat boasts an authenticity that's hard to find elsewhere, making it a truly memorable experience. One of the standout features of Evergreen Bungalows is its prime location. All the bungalows are positioned right at the beachfront, allowing guests to wake up to the breathtaking sight of the white sandy beach and crystal-clear waters. The organic setup of the resort adds to the charm, creating a perfect blend of comfort and nature. The culinary experience at Evergreen Bungalows is second to none. The diverse selection of food and drinks catered to all my tastes and preferences. Whether it was savoring local delicacies or enjoying international cuisine, every meal was a delight. However, what truly sets Evergreen Bungalows apart is its incredible hospitality. The staff members go above and beyond to ensure that your stay is not just comfortable but also unforgettable. During my stay, I had the pleasure of meeting wonderful individuals like Mustafa, Claudia (the owners), Paul, Happiness, and the rest of the staff. They made me feel like family, and I am immensely grateful for their warmth and kindness. Every moment at Evergreen Bungalows was filled with joy and relaxation. The serene atmosphere and the friendly ambiance made it easy to unwind and disconnect from the world. Moreover, the location offers a plethora of activities to explore. From the mesmerizing Blue Lagoon to the intriguing caves and the vibrant Paje, there is always something exciting to do nearby.

Sabali Lodge, Zanzibar

Jambiani Beach, Jambiani

Featuring a swimming pool, a garden, a terrace and views of the city, Sabali Lodge, Zanzibar is set in Jambiani and offers accommodation with free WiFi.

Jambiani Beach is 400 metres from the lodge, while Jozani Forest is 26 km away. Great and a comfy stay! Will definitely be coming back! Location: the location is quite convenient. It’s right next to the main road going to Paje and 5-10 minutes walk away to the ocean. The building is in Jambiani village which is famous for its sweet, hospitable locals, and great beaches! Supermarkets and shops are all nearby. Check in: Thomas the owner who oversees things personally, was kind enough to arrange for an early check in despite the short notice. He’s easygoing and friendly to deal with. Easy and straightforward process. They accept cards without giving you the looks (many properties in Jambiani don’t happily accept cards). You can use Apple Pay or Samsung Pay. The place itself: this is a brand new building with great finishing. The owner takes pride in his trees and the villa is surrounded by greenery inside it. There’s a pool, kitchen with a big new fridge for guests to store food, shower facilities next to the pool. There’s also a terrace upstairs with huge area for people who wanna have some privacy or do calls or just relax. It offers a nice 360 view of the village on all sides. The rooms: the rooms are quite modern and they are practically designed and equipped with everything you want. The ac was working perfectly and it was a relief in hot afternoons and nights (many properties don’t have ac or it doesn’t work). Really comfy beds (probably the best bed and mattresses I slept on in Zanzibar), a safe which is quite handy, a little desk if you have work, big washroom with great water pressure, everything in the room was brand new and working fine. The internet: I had couple of meetings and was suffering from the poor internet in other proper I. The wifi really saved me. The experience: the owner who was also staying at the property is warm and makes sure to check in on you and see if you need anything (the stay itself, directions, restaurant recommendations, etc.
