I hate leaving a one star review because yes you should book at the Johari Rotana!! The service here is exceptional and also the amenities are great! They know 5-star❣️ Miraji, Neema, Said, Cyrian and my fave bartenders on 8!! They treated me the best but made my drinks how I like them and now I can’t remember their names, Lol! Eugene and just the entire staff at the Gaston pub is the best!! Sorry I missed names but you all were amazing to me, Asante Sana Now that kibo restaurant manager should be fired cause the staff is amazing but each time I went here the food was stale and against my better judgement I got hungry and ordered in room dining their most expensive dish at the Kibo, their prawn sandwich and it arrived to my room stale, i picked at the dried shrimp and what a regret … it ruined my entire trip in Zanzibar well at least the first 4 days I couldn’t leave my bed… didn’t get to do any tours and being from the states this trip was very costly. It’s also unacceptable since this was the only restaurant opened during this time to offer in room dining… also the hotel was super busy, how was it possible I got spoiled prawns with 5 presidents staying at this hotel during the same time I was there! The Kibo ugh!! Everytime I went there stale food!! I should have complained sooner but the staff is really friendly but Kibo in-room dining almost cost me a hospital visit if it wasn’t for my faith in God!!! So pissed and this is unacceptable to risk guests life like that!!
