Mambo Cabana, hotel in Pwani Mchangani

Featuring a swimming pool, a garden, a terrace and views of the city, Mambo Cabana is located in Pwani Mchangani and provides accommodation with free WiFi.

This was my fourth time staying at Mambo Cabana, and it never fails to impress! My mom, friend, and her family joined me this time, and we all agreed it was the highlight of our trip. I love that each time I visit, there are new renovations to elevate the guest experience. The hotel is cosy, and beautifully maintained. The staff were attentive and made us feel at home. The food was absolutely unmatched. It was full of flavor and clearly the chef knows what he is doing. Even nearby restaurants and the other hotels we stayed at couldn’t compare! This hotel offers excellent service, and amazing food that leaves a lasting impression. Highly recommended for anyone looking for both relaxation and a central spot to explore Zanzibar.

    Great accommodation. The houses and garden are amazing. Room is clean and cozy with great view. The staff are very friendly and did their work very well. Food is a little expensive but delicious. We really enjoy these days spending in Sunshine Marine Lodge.

    Hebe Bungalows Lodge is a unique lodging on the northeast shore of Zanzibar. The lodge is enclosed within a high wall and security gate. The road to the lodge is unpaved and rough. It winds through the local village where poverty is evident. The location was good for my snorkeling tour near Mnemba Island. I liked my room (#7) and the view. The staff were professional and friendly. The restaurant was enjoyable and the food was good.

    The beautiful and helpful staff are the highlight of Sunshine Marine Lodge. The food was excellent, with a wide array of options to choose from. The spa is a fantastic amenity to the lodge, with lots of affordable treatments carried out by the team of great therapists. Yoga with Ana (who is a fantastic teacher) is also a really great addition to the property and I recommend to future guests taking some classes to unwind from your day and carry you into a chilled evening.

    Overall we can only recommend Sunshine Marine Lodge. Food was really tasty, especially if you know that their sell it (breakfast and dinner) as a half-board. Staff was friendly and always helpful. They work toghether with Floral-tours agency and organize you all transfers and excursion all over the island. There is also Diving point base on the property. So this is really very good place if you want good snorkeling or diving excursion and make a peacful retreat in a small not crowded hotel...

    Hebe Lodge is a really lovely place. The food is exceptional, as we wanted to explore the area we didn't eat there every night, however I must say we regretted because everytime we thought that HEBE was just so much better! The rooms are lovely, the stuff is always available. Nice breakfast and l loved the tropical garden.

    We only have positive experiences from Hebe Bugalow Lodge. We are a family of 4 who spent 6 nights in Zanzibar. The hotel has the best staff. They are kind, honest, helpful, and always friendly. Additionally, they serve delicious and fresh breakfast. The area is especially great because you get to experience the local community and it is not overrun with tourists. The owner, Peter, is ready to greet guests upon arrival.
