Boutique Villa Unaweza

Comfortable, clean, restaurant was excellent, staff were friendly. Close to beach and some good local restaurants as well.

So happy we found this little sanctuary — it was definitely my favourite stop on our road trip through Zanzibar. The staff are sincere and friendly. From the moment you arrive, you immediately feel: this is a place where I can truly relax. But wait, there’s more — the FOOD. They really know how to serve wholesome local dishes with a creative twist. Every meal was fresh, thoughtful, and full of flavour.

Great location and lovely pool

Nothing

The villa is in a very quiet surroundings. The pool is excellent with cosy beds. You can easily walk to the beach and walk to a beach bar Marafiki and Sunrise Hotel where is live music sometimes. You can also go to nearby restaurants (Marlin restaurant was very nice and half the price of a meal in Ville Unaweza) You can also walk to Matewme and there are several mini markets and also a Liqour store Mjambo (they sell beer for 20% of the price in the Villa) They fixed the things that didn't work in our room quickly.

The shower was not very warm and lots of ants in our room and terrace. The coffee with breakfast is not hot and if you ask for new coffee they just add water with the same filtercoffee, so it is not very strong coffee. The prices in the restaurant for meals and drinks are very high compared to the neighboorhood places. The taxi service is very expensive, we arranged a taxi with a local taxi driver for 60000 TSH ($25) also a trip to Kendwa for half the price offered in the Villa Unaweza. The wifi is not working properly and you have to log in every time you use your smartphone. Some websites don't work with videos.
