We loved our stay at Zanzibar Sunrise! From our charming cottage right on the beach, to the fabulous food, beautiful pool, yoga, reef walk, and perfect location we had an ideal week. Farah and the staff were incredible and took excellent care of us. The live music exceeded our expectations! I cannot recommend this place enough!
