We stayed at Blue oyster for a few days now in april and have to say we couldn't have had a better start on our trip. It was lovely. The staff was truly amazing.

So, we stayed in three beach hotels on Zanzibar, and in some ways this was our favourite. The building is nice, the location is good (though the beach here is better for strolling than swimming), and the restaurant food is really good (though some of the servers are passive-aggressive). For the price, I'd recommend it. We did a snorkelling trip... More

The Blue Oyster is a lovely hotel, well-run by a German family with helpful staff. Robert went out of his way to help me with a sim card.

We stayed here over Christmas 2011 and had an absolutely wonderful time. The place is small, cozy, quiet, friendly, and well-run, perfect for a relaxing beach vacation. The rooms and grounds were well-kept and cleaned every day, fresh towels provided daily, and we never ran out of hot water. But what really makes this place special is its staff. We... More

Blue Oyster has, by far, the best restaurant along the beach, with a variety... More

Jambiani is located on the southern east coast of Zanzibar, it is literally the end of the world - and a paradise for all who love tropical white sand beaches and the Indian Ocean.

Great hotel! Incredible experience! Food also very good, better than in any restaurant along the Jambiani beach. The location is ideal, exactly on the beach so that during the night you can hear the waves splashing the sand. The beach itself is an incredible white sand strap spanning on app 5-6 km. There are no huge resorts on this beach,... More

We had a lovely stay here. Having just come from a safari, it was the perfect place to relax. The beach bed area was less than a metre from beautiful beach and turquoise waters. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Rooms were clean and food was good, although they could do with giving more options on the menu More
