From the moment we strolled through the beautiful cobbled streets of Stone Town and arrived at Turaco Spice Tree, we felt instantly welcomed. The hotel’s blend of traditional Zanzibari charm and comfort set the tone for our stay, with warm smiles at reception and an atmosphere that immediately put us at ease.
Its central location made it the perfect base to explore the historic town on foot, and over the course of our four‑day stay, the thoughtful design and inviting spaces consistently promised a memorable experience.
We were delighted when Mr. Hamada Shaltout and his team kindly upgraded us to a Junior One‑Bedroom Suite. The suite was spacious and full of character, with beautifully carved wooden furniture, rich textiles, and traditional Zanzibari details that created an authentic atmosphere. The separate living area offered a comfortable space to relax, while the bedroom felt like a peaceful retreat with its large, inviting bed.
To make our stay even more memorable, a platter of delicious indigenous fruits was delivered to our room, and later that evening, after dinner, we were surprised with a beautifully presented dessert. These thoughtful gestures highlighted the team’s dedication to creating a truly special experience.
Dining at Taarab Restaurant was a highlight of our stay. The setting combined elegant décor with a warm, inviting atmosphere, perfectly complementing the flavors of Zanzibar. We enjoyed dinner there twice, savoring fresh seafood prepared to perfection, aromatic curries, and traditional Swahili cuisine that captured the island’s culinary heritage.
Each meal was beautifully presented and accompanied by attentive service. Breakfast was equally delightful, and we looked forward to it every morning, a generous spread with both international favorites and local specialties, setting the perfect tone for the day ahead.
The property offers a range of amenities designed to balance relaxation and convenience. Guests can enjoy the indoor pool for a refreshing dip, make use of the well‑equipped fitness center, or unwind in the tranquil garden lounge. The hotel also provides versatile meeting and event spaces, along with reliable Wi‑Fi and attentive housekeeping.
These thoughtful facilities, combined with the warm service, ensure that both leisure and business travelers feel well cared for throughout their stay.
Turaco Spice Tree left us with lasting memories of warm hospitality, authentic Zanzibari charm, and thoughtful touches that made our stay special. Every detail reflected the team’s dedication to excellence. Being close to Stone Town was another highlight, allowing us to step straight into the cobbled streets, vibrant markets, and historic landmarks on foot.
For travelers seeking both tradition and comfort, Turaco Spice Tree is a wonderful choice.
