"Excellent experience. The internet super good and roof top is shaded and perfect placer to do some work that we had to do. Working on vacation feel.
Great food. Only tip: ask for inward facing room to avoid occasional street noise at night."

"Absolutely loved our stay at Toa Hotel and Spa! The service was exceptional, with staff who truly go above and beyond. I wish I can give it a 10 star for their service! The rooms are stunning, with private pools and direct beach access. We enjoyed the delicious food made with love, and the beach dinners were unforgettable, complete with an amazing show under the stars. The pools are beautiful, and the whole property feels peaceful and luxurious. If you’re coming to Zanzibar, this is the place to stay. Highly recommended!"
