Top Shangani Beach Hotel Reviews

The Neela Boutique Hotel Stone Town

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing time at Neela. The rooms were just as stunning as they look in the pictures and the staff and very friendly and always eager to help not matter the request. The rooms are very clean and smell fresh and there are two room services a day. One to tidy the room and one to get the room ready for bedtime. The hotel itself is also in the perfect location. It’s a short walk from pretty much everywhere and has an atm very close by. The staff are very happy to escort you to anywhere you need to go too. The manager of the hotel is very friendly and gave us a gift during our stay which we were not expecting but shows how well they take care of their guests. We Highly recommend Neela for your stone town stay."

Tembo Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay; I didn't expect any kind of view and it is in the midst of other buildings. A short walk from the main hotel, where you have access to all of the the amenities including breakfast, pools, private beach, etc. The room was a bit bare bones for furniture, but what was there was local and good quality. No mosquito netting, but they say that they spray, although we did find one. We used the ceiling fans all night which should also keep them away. The bathroom was beautifully tiled. Great staff at the main hotel and there is security at the entrance to the Palace Hotel. Biggest downside - uneven stairs and no elevator."
