Amaan Bungalows 3* hotel, Nungwi

The hotel has the best location in the north of Zanzibar, taking into account low tides and price-quality. Usually on the left side if you walk a kilometer there is a more decent cove, but the hotels there are steeper. By 10 am we swim, after low tide we walk anywhere, after lunch the tide comes in - we swim again. Sun loungers by the pool, the tiles are heated, it’s good to walk two steps to the beach. When choosing rooms, take either a bungalow by the ocean, or rooms around the pool on the first floor (only on the first), otherwise you’ll have to run around. The rooms are large, neat furniture. There are always sunbeds because people are always hanging around somewhere. WiFi is available by the pool, so it’s comfortable to write reviews, even Skype works. There is a village nearby where you can buy fruit and alcohol - everything you need for a relaxing pastime. Definitely a spice garden, combine with a visit to Stone Town - Turtle Island. We left after lunch, so we walked alone on the island of shells, around Stone Town by the light of lanterns. The second coolest thing is swimming with dolphins, if of course you like swimming. (But it depends on your luck - we were lucky), on the way back we usually visit a mangrove grove and a tropical forest. You can visit the islands that disappear at high tide, take a boat trip, and walk around the islands; the food is delicious and for slaughter. (This is in the south of the island). In the west you can hire a boat to the lighthouse (you can see it) - it’s not expensive, you can buy it and just relax. If you do nothing at all, ships depart daily from the beach along the coast (snorkeling) and are usually packed. Naturally, take it from the local ones, bargain, the price drops on the eve of departure. Drivers are usually hired, so you can negotiate with them directly, bypassing their bosses, it will be 30 percent cheaper, and more effort. If you know where to go, then take a car, but at each point you will negotiate with the locals yourself (not everyone knows English). Nice rooms on the ground floor around the pool. There are bungalows along the coast, but they are more expensive.
