F-Zeen Boutique Hotel Zanzibar

Uroa

Located in Uroa, 100 metres from Uroa Public Beach, F-Zeen Boutique Hotel Zanzibar provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge. Among the various facilities of this property are a terrace, a bar and a private beach area. The accommodation features room service, a concierge service and currency exchange for guests. This is a magical place. The resort is really long (compared to others at which we stayed), alongside the beach. This means you will have a feeling that you are alone on the beach, even if the hotel is full. We had an ocean front room and just 5 meters to our sunbeds under the palm trees. Let me point out there are not a lot of locals on the beach, selling stuff, so you will really have peace and quiet. You should expect though that the sea is affected by the tide, the same as it in most of places on Zanzibar (but keep that in mind). Aside from excellent position of the hotel, we would like to compliment the staff. They were so wonderful, always smiling, really made all of our wishes come true.
