Cinnamon Hotel

I will start by saying that the restaurant staff and housekeeping staff were absolutely lovely at this hotel. They went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and us to feel welcome. Especially Juvy & Roger! The hotel itself has a few issues, the photos advertised online do not reflect the property at all. They is no sea view from the pool, the only sun beds available are down by the beach where you get hassled by ‘Beach Boys’, no idea why the hotel wouldn’t have loungers by the pool instead. The hotel suffered from several power outages and lots water at times. Meaning no flushable toilets or showers. No communication from the hotel about this. The restraint served nice food but it really is overpriced for what it is. You’re also expected to bring cash to the hotel to pay your tourist tax, we were not aware of this and have been able to pay on card for other hotels in Zanzibar so the manager left us no choice but to pay for a tuktuk to drive us to town to get cash out. Unfortunately we seemed to be the other tourists staying that weren’t friends with the managers. The other guests were lovely, but it felt very uncomfortable during meal times when everyone else were eating together, smoking around the whole hotel and taking the cushions from the beds onto the sun loungers. We felt like we were interrupting their friends holiday. There are other beautiful hotels on the same beach for similar prices. I wouldn’t recommend staying here, not a nice vibe.

Paradise at the beach We stayed for 6 nights and couldn’t ask for more! The place is really a paradise just by the beach. Me and my family had a wonderful time at Cinnamon Hotel! The staff is really friendly and took care of our family in an excellent way!

I traveled w/ my best friend & our welcoming was not the warmest. The hotel only took cash which limited us to staying in the hotel for meals. We found what may have been bed bugs as well as multiple roaches throughout our stay which was 5 days. Found one crawling on one of my hats & that’s when we decided to hang all our packs so none of our belongings touched the floor

Great place and location. Extremely friendly helpful staff and superb food. Breakfast so good. Big thx to Mimay and Roger. Travelled extensively worldwide and Zanzibar is high on our list. 3 day Stonetown is enough then a week in Nungwi then 8 days Jambianu(Cinninmon). Reading the report of lost ring absolutely no way would it go missing. Why bring such items….?? Insurance! Will return
