It’s very close to the airport so great the night before a flight. It’s in a secluded area but very nice rooms. Staff are great and help you find the location and book a taxi at the right time.

This place is a paradise on earth Imagine that your time spent on a tropical island could be the most special moment of your life. This may happen if you choose this Wasanii Sleep&Dream. This place is perfect for people who care about privacy. If you value peace and quiet, this is the perfect place for you. The rooms are new and equipped with everything you need. The air conditioning works perfectly. The facility has a shared kitchen and an additional shared bathroom. The facility is monitored, so you can feel very safe here. The owners and service team are wonderful, honest and friendly. As for the surrounding area, it is one of the most beautiful villages on the island, with a beautiful beach, a 1-minute walk away. I recommend it to every person and family who wants to experience the most beautiful Zanzibar adventure of their life.
