Madinat Al Bahr Business & Spa Hotel

A little far from Kendwa Beach but close to airport. Clean, and extremely comfortable.

為了轉機和倒時差選了這個免費接送看照片比較新的酒店，比機場一般酒店貴很多，但實際比較舊、房間沒有景觀、洗澡水等20分鐘才熱，早班機提前入住加70美元、多要一瓶水收錢…只有免費接送一個優點了

My stay at this luxurious hotel was a perfect start to my Zanzibari holiday. Reserving an executive suite proceeded without any hiccups. Shortly after that, I got in touch with the hotel enquiring about an eary check-in. A gentleman on the other end of the line (Sebastian) accepted my request and organized to have me promptly picked up from the airport. The drive to the hotel was just as smooth. I was greeted by warm smiles at reception and Happy processed my check-in without much ado. I supposed meeting Happy at the reception was some sort of a happy, lucky charm; the rest of my stay was nothing short of amazing. Issa helped me to my suite, explained all the features of the room and gave me a tour of the hotel. My suite was roomy, light and well-furnished. The icing on the cake is however the direct view of the hotel’s well-tended garden, the clean pool, the bright blue ocean and, of course, the sunrises and sunsets - all just from the comfort of the balcony. The decor and overall architecture gave me feeling of living in one of the “1,001 Nights” stories. Being a foodie, I immediately enquired about breakfast and lunch. The buffets were impressive. One enjoys the good, international company of fellow guests and a wide variety of local and international delicacies. This is where I met Sayed Aly, a charming member of the hospital management/administration. We chatted over a number of meals during my stay and in about for different languages (Swahili, English, German and Russian). I got the impression that he enjoys meeting the hotel’s guests and learning about the countries of origin plus their travel preferences. The pool is big and clean. There are more than enough sunbeds by the pool. The garden around the pool seems well-tended. One needn’t worry about finding spots to chill or unwind. If not by the poolside, then walk down to the beach and you’ll find more sunbeds. For nature lovers, have a walk along the beach during low tide - there a number of mangrove trees right infront of the hotel! My overall experience has been more than pleasant. Outstanding personell and members of staff! PS: Check out their well-equipped fitness center to burn off the extra few holiday calories. Looking forward to my next stay at Madinal A Bahr Business and Spa Hotel!
