Avis Barefoot Beach house Zanzibar

We spent 5 days there for Christmas as a family and had a very relaxed time. We definitely miss the lovely crepes chef Abedi prepared for us every morning. We would buy veggies and fresh fish and sea food from the supplier coming to our doorstep and the cook would prepare everything for us with talent. Alex came to make sure everything was fine, Haji organised everything we needed and Mohammed drove us anywhere we liked and waiting for us. All the staff was extremely friendly, helpful and professional. The house is extremely spacious and pretty, we could have probably fitted 5 times more people. The only negative points is that (1) the Jacuzzi never worked; (2) the tides make it pretty much impossible from 10 am to 6 pm. It is not the prettiest beach on the island for sure but at least it is very peaceful and quiet unlike more touristic areas; and (3) it is also a shame that the manager double-booked the place and we had to spend the 2 last days of the trip elsewhere, we would have loved staying longer.
