The food was uninspiring. The television in the room very fuzzy and almost useless. We asked for a fix but none was available. Toilet was not screwed into the floor (Room 128) and was dangerous. We asked for a fix - some guy came by to look but did nothing. We had all inclusive but many things were not under that plan. Never had an all inclusive where certain items , latte for instance was not included(Except for breakfast) When we arrive at our room the lock did not work and we had to wait an hour while workmen disassembled the door . That was fine and to the hotels credit they offered to pay for our taxi to the airport ($60) for the inconvenience. The staff was great but the restaurant in Particular needs a lot of work . I’m have owned 30 full service hotels. Marriott(Owns the hotel) knows how to do it better.

Excellent spa treatments. The view from the hotel is lovely with gorgeous blue waters. Overall the food and drink are average at best. We had stayed before a few years back and noticed the decline. With the all inclusive package now, sparkling wine is no longer included along with a number of mixed drinks. Certain foods at the buffet ran out and weren’t refilled. The air conditioning was broken in our room (it was 104/40 degrees c). We contacted the front desk and requested a room change, but there were no rooms available. They tried to fix the a/c but it still didn’t work. 2 days later we were given another room, along with complimentary massages as an apology, which was a nice touch. Had a wonderful time with our friends, but have mixed feelings about recommending it again.

Overall the property is in a great location with very good facilities. Food was above average. New Year's eve on the other hand was amazing. Everything was brilliant. Staff were also fantastic. The only gripe with the surrounding areas were that it is very poor and a huge tourist trap. The other gripe with Zanzibar in general is that you are constantly harassed from the beach by locals dancing, selling trinkets and tours - the saving grace for Turaco is that the beach seating is elevated so it mitigates a lot of the harassment. There are no great tours worth doing. Snorkelling with Dolphins is a night mare for you and the dolphins. Scores of boats following them - it was unpleasant and very far on a boat. Over all I would recommend the property for Zanzibar

Sleepless in Nungwi
Completely lack of interest in resolving critical problems. I’m not a person who complains a lot but when the ceiling fan squeaks loudly once per second all the time and I can’t sleep for a week I do complain. Three times actually and staff chooses to do nothing. Not even giving feedback on why it can’t be resolved or trying to solve it with a workaround. A portable desk fan would probably been enough to create an indoor temperature possible to sleep in. Just a “I’m sorry” during checkout. Have never experienced such uninterested service level attention at any 4-5 star property before.

An Okay Stay with a Pricey Dismay
It’s a nice hotel but maybe a bit pricy. Staff is friendly and the service is good. Security at the beach front feels assuring. Very nice pool and bar. Loved it. Seafront is also amazing and one of the best places to capture the sunset. Some details; prices on massage is ridiculous high (and try to rip you off), prices on drinks is above average, and one time they mixed up vodka in our gin and tonic. However I really miss a clear commitment to the community when staying in a resort like this. No sign of any contribution back to the local community. The hotel has not even bothered to fix the road into the hotel. I’m not assured that staying in this hotel sufficiently contributes back to local community.

The resort was great; however, overpriced. The room had a strong smell; we weren't sure whether it was urine or drainage. The in-room telephone did not work therefore we had to go to reception for our queries until it got fixed. The maintenance staff left a huge part of the bathroom ceiling uncovered after fixing one of the issues we brought to their attention, we then had to report the uncovered ceiling. Lack of attention to detail and slow service
