Ulasan Chuini Zanzibar Lodge by Newmark

Everybody told me Zanzibar has two completely different “coasts”. Literally. One with the white sandy beaches you see in the pictures and the other one with villages overcrowded and dead coral that makes it impossible to swim. But I´m quite stubborn. Beside when I try to choose hotels with no more than 20 rooms and a great design. Chuini is just that. Located in a beautiful small bay, surrounded by some old Oman ruins (I love history). Everything is quite scenic and Instagram material (if you like those kind of things). Our room/bungalow was in the bay. We woke up with the fisherman leaving in the morning. You can’t get more native than that. Service is great and the all the staff has that “jambo” Tanzania mood. We read that some guests complain about the food prices - that´s important because you don’t have any restaurants nearby. It’s true. It´s expensive. But the food is also very impressive. I had the same benedict eggs for breakfast (5 star) and an incredible lobster in one of the dinners. Good quality products in Africa are simply not cheap. There´s a beach around the corner with a nice bar. There you will find a 5 or 6 meter ***** of sand where you can take a “swim” without (many) dead corals around. And its beautiful. But its not the beach you are probably looking for. Chuini is a great option if you want to make a stopover before heading home – it’s a 30 minutes’ drive from the airport. Or if you just wand to hide away from the world.
