    We were delighted with our stay at Zanzibar Sunrise At Bandas. The beachfront bungalows offered breathtaking views of the white sandy beach and crystal clear blue waters. The layout of the resort was perfect, with the pool nestled among shady trees and the dining area nearby. The staff was attentive and the owner, Milky, made us feel right at home. We enjoyed the delicious food, especially the different dinner menus each night. The live music on Friday and Saturday nights added to the fun atmosphere. we highly recommend this boutique hotel for a memorable and relaxing vacation.
