We really enjoyed our stay at Turaco. The staff were very friendly and attentive, everything was clean and well maintained, and the food was delicious. There were different activities every day, from crafts and pool games to live music in the evenings. A lovely, relaxing atmosphere and a great place to spend a holiday. We would definitely recommend it!

Our stay was extremely good, accomodation, food and staff is amazing. Only problem, and a big one, is a lady called Anna, she is an Assistant Manager. She was extremly rude to me and my fammily. Other staff members confidentially said to me that she is like that many times, not only with guests but with them as well.

Verified review

6/10 Good

Super friendly staff, but unfortunately the overall impression of the hotel, was somewhat outdated, and needed an overall upgrade. Woodpanels in bathroom was falling apart due to moist. The roof had holes mutiple placed Our AC in the room leaked water continously, making the floor underneatch wet at all times Power kept going out, especially at night, and when turned back on, the TV also started, waking us up all nights Wheels on sunbeds attached with pins that fell out when moving. The hotel might have been really nice 10 years ago, but just lacked attention to detail and maintance

Great stay

Fantastic and responsive staff, excellent food, very nice view from the room overlooking the sea, comfortable room. What we liked less: signing the bills for each drink or meal even though we were all inclusive... boring... lack of entertainment and atmosphere, and when there was entertainment they started too early, while people were eating and couldn't enjoy it, and they finished too early (9:30 p.m.) to be able to enjoy it after eating... and the fact of not being able to take advantage of the all inclusive on the day of departure between the noon check out and the pick up time, asking us to pay for drinks after check out when we spent 10 nights at the all inclusive price is a bit mean
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Stayed in a sea view room which was fabulous, great outlook and easy assess to the beach area. Room was spacious and clean. The staff were so friendly and service was really good, a little slow at times but you’re on Zanzibar time so you get used to it. There was a good few places to venture out to around the hotel and even walking in the village was lovely! Do be prepared to be approached every two mins by the locals but they are all very friendly and do eventually stop and leave you to carry on with your day. Overall we loved our stay in this hotel and would recommend highly to anyone thinking of booking.
