Amazing experience. The hotel is in a perfect location in stone town. Food is excellent and staff are super friendly and helpful especially Said! Would highly recommend staying here

We just completed our stay at SpiceTree by Turaco in Zanzibar. I am giving it 3 stars. We used Zanzibar as the gateway to Safari and stayed with Spicetrree the night before flying into Arusha and the night before departing, while the location and the property itself are excellent, our experience was heavily let down by the service execution. The Positives: First, the positives. The location is absolutely perfect. The hotel is centrally located, and we found it within easy walking distance of almost anything you would want to do or see in Stone Town. The hotel itself is quite nice, offering a nicely appointed, typical 4-star setup that was comfortable and clean. The Platinum Benefits & Dining: As a Marriott Platinum member, we received the complimentary breakfast benefit. We appreciated the elite recognition, but the breakfast selection was unfortunately quite limited on selection, which was a little disappointing. The Service Failure: The major issue, however, was the transfer service. We had pre-arranged our transfers (airport to hotel, and hotel to airport). Pickup services were great and on time, but we were extremely disappointed that both transfer services to the airport failed. This lack of reliability created significant unnecessary stress on both departure legs of our stay. When a service is pre-arranged and confirmed, it must be executed. If you are looking strictly for location, this is a good spot. However, based on our experience, I would highly recommend to confirm and re-confirm transportation from hotel to airport be on time.

Food was very good and Kalista was very nice and helpful. A place to be recommended.
