One week th
Stay was well organized and service was good! Only issue we had was when we arrived at the hotel around 10am (which we told the hotel about), we waited more than 2 and a half hours for our room. Hotel wasn’t that full so think they could have got us in a room early with a bit of effort!

Perfect 12 day stay
My wife and I found the Uroa Bay Beach Resort to be absolutely perfect for our stay. We were looking for a complete relaxing holiday with a few excursions and Uroa Bay Beach simply hit the spot. Friendly personnel, lovely service and wonderful smiles accomponied our complete 12 dY stay. The weather played its part to perfection as well and was just truly amazing. If I were to complain about anything, then I would say that they could make the choices of breakfast a little more variable. That would be it!

Relaxing 3 night stay at Uroa Bay Beach Resort
Friendly staff from reception to food & beverages to security. Rooms were comfortable although I did wish that I had my own pillow from home. The bed had 1 pillow per person and a bit lumpy. Location is in a quiet part of Zanzibar - east coast. Wi-Fi only available in reception and swimming pool area - no Wi-Fi in bedrooms. Menus are dollar based so make sure you take enough dollars with you. No ATM or bank in the vicinity. Drinks a bit expensive. Food at local restaurants on the beach were great. Beach Boys a bit irritating when you want a quiet stroll on the beach. Overall enjoyed the weather and chilaxing time at the resort.

Up and coming resort
Revelstoke is a fairly new resort and although it's a great mountain, it is still getting its act together. I think popularity will increase now that it's on the IKON pass. The Sutton is a great choice to stay. It's a bit on the pricey side (kind of equivalent to Whistler), but the convenience and amenities are worth it. Ski-in, ski-out, nice heated pool and jacuzzis. Units are comfortable, but a bit on the small side. Nice lobby. The biggest downside, which really can't be helped, is that town is 10 minutes away by car, so not within walking distance. There is a shuttle (a crazy, light and music disco bus), and Sutton provides free passes for it. There is a small village at the mountain, with a couple of restaurant/bars.

Beautiful beachfront resort at a reasonable price. A bit tough to get to in that it costs nearly as much as your room to get each direction ($50 cab ride to or from the ferry). Food and drinks were good and the pace was just the slow and uncrowded version of reality i wanted for the short weekend getaway!

Basic hotel, nice rooms, lovely beach location (although hassling from beach boys gets tiresome) nice pool. Nothing to do in the days and food was poor which let it down.

overall nice hotel
Beautiful beach.but found it challenging to have a nice quiet moment on the sand as there is always a handful of people waiting to sell you something. Nice pool. food was fair. Food in regular dining area was okay but food at their second dining area ( called alacart) was dissapointing. Service from staff in all dining area was friendly and excellent. Their cocktails had little to no alcohol in them but that seem to be the theme through that island. The room and bathroom was big,comfortable with airconditon and ceiling fan. Felt safe there. Good entertainment after dinner.

Great location, poor delivery
Hotel has a great location and beach. The toiletries are refilled with sub-standard product and not what they say on the bottle, the towels are old and worn and the restaurant servers are obsessed with signatures every minute. Place has a lot of potential but unfortunately leaves it wanting.

Great Staff & Beaxh
First, let me say the staff were awesome at the front desk, restaurant, & spa. My primary issue here was the sub par food & no wifi in the rooms! Only the lobby area had WiFi & it was extremely poor. The room amenities on Expedia include wifi, otherwise I'd have never even stayed here!

2/10 Poor

no internet as advertised
We had a terrible experience in this hotel: 1) The Wifi internet is just fake since it is based on a 3g connection and it does not work at all, we did not have internet from our room 2) this is the only 4 star hotel that does not have a landline phone, so you cannot receive calls in your room 3) The hotel try to scam you on everything, they exchange money taking more than 20% commission and if you want to book a taxi they charge you more than the double of a normal taxi, same story for excursions 4) We have been scammed from a taxi driver that was not in their black list (they don't have a blacklist even if apparently the taxi driver was local and well known in the hotel) and their reaction was simply, it is not our business and tried to sell us a taxy ride for three time of the fair price, scavengers, after more than one hour spent discussing, magically a taxi driver offered us a ride at a price that was half of the money asked from the hotel taxi service, still very high for the distance 5) We considered to extend our stay, but the hotel staff offered us the double of the price that we paid when the hotel was empty.... just ridiculous way of doing business 6) there were kids running and diving in the swimming pool and the staff did not do anything to stop them and imposing the rule of no diving to be entirely fair, the food was ok and the room were clean, no value for money for the quality of the service, change the attitude!!!!

Hotel for tourist groups
This place is a resort with a club arrangement. Meaning bus loads of tourists are coming from time to time and enjoy an animation program throughout their stay. For an indvidual traveler the ambiance encountered is therefore not convincing. Beaches in Zanzibar are public. Apparently therfore they built a stone wall fence to separate Hotel premises from the main beach? You can see this wall only on a few pictures of their gallery only. The nice beach you see there is only visible through low tide. During flood the beach disappears. The place offers two restaurants one with buffet only option. 20 Dollars per adult and 10 for children. The other restaurant is a la card. But in both cases the price is way too high for the food quality. Close to the resort are no options for self-supply. The restaurants in the next village are just as expensive. Those guys know the prices in the hotel too. Staff seems to be recruted from local communities - most do not speak sufficient english and communicating orders was indeed very difficult. Sometimes behaviour was not adequate. Otherwise the site has all exotic atmosphere - trees, plants - and can possibly be relaxing if you accept the flaws mentioned above.
