Very happy with the whole experience in Tropicana Garden hotel!! Value for money, great! Not something fansy, but very clean, good internet (keep in mind that other places don't even have internet or towels). Very friendly and helpful stuff! You have fresh sheets and a fresh room every day, as the lovely ladies go in the rooms in daily basis to clean! The restaurant of the hotel serves a very nice breakfast in big quantities, and also very good lunch- dinner!! The pool is ok enough, super privacy and nice natural environment, though, needs maintenance a bit more often cause the sand we carry on us from the beach, it's a big problem for pools! But, why worrie about pools when you have the shining white beach of Kendwa in less than 2 minutes walk!! There's off course a few things to make better, but perfection costs A LOT when you go to a touristic place and most of the times, you still can't have it! So Tropicana is the place and Hakuna Matata my friends!!

We vacationed at Tropicana Garden with our family in early November. It was one of the best vacations of my life! I became terminally ill with Zanzibar! And the hotel played a big role in this. I would like to express my gratitude to all the hotel staff without exception!!! You are all great fellows! They always resolved all the issues (and there were almost none), they were always friendly and welcoming, and knocked us off our feet with their snow-white, sincere smiles. The hotel is 3*, but... it’s so colorful, it’s so African... some “fours” can’t hold a candle to them. We were placed in room 9. Upon entering, I was struck by the cleanliness (honestly, I expected something different), the room was large and bright, a large double bed and another bed for a 12-year-old child. For the first time on vacation, my son slept on a bed and not on a folding sofa. A large window with access to the terrace and the pool, which was cleaned daily by friendly staff. There was a security guard on duty from the pool side all night, because... The area is separated from the village by a fence. You can be calm about your property. The room was always cleaned upon request, and this was a real event for us, since Mrs. Aisha and her assistants simply filled our room with flowers. It was a pity to sit on this beauty. The room has air conditioning, a safe, a kettle, glasses, hangers, shelves (there is no closet with doors, but this is the case everywhere), soap, shampoo, a hairdryer (by the way, it was also good). There were never any issues with water, the electricity sometimes went out for a couple of minutes (once a day), but this is nonsense, the Internet just flew (which is also the first time I’ve encountered this). Breakfast is standard: fruits, vegetables, pancakes, sausages, potatoes, scrambled eggs or omelet, tea, coffee. Everything was right out of the heat. Everything is delicious. Coconut milk soup with crab is a specialty of Tropicana (do not deny yourself the pleasure). Yes, you need to wait, but that’s understandable, you need to prepare it. A special WOW about juices. People, this was not UPI, these were natural juices 😍. In the evenings there were often performances by local dancers and Maasai shows (that’s a different story altogether). We were also lucky enough to share a holiday, the hotel’s birthday, it was something! There was dancing, cake, cocktails... and when else can you see all the staff of this wonderful hotel. I can write for a very long time about this paradise on earth, but it cannot be put into words. I am delighted with the hotel, with the ocean (by the way, it is very close and with its own beach with security, of course), with the staff and with the entire population of this wonderful island. Big greetings to everyone from Belarus (especially my favorite Simba😍). We will definitely return to Zanzibar, and in particular to Tropicana

Initially, our room in this building was not confirmed and we were accommodated in some barn in the Beach building. After a scandal and the intervention of the guide, they gave us a room in Gardena. It's bigger, everything worked except the hairdryer. There was a terrace with a drying room and a swimming pool nearby. The pool was cleaned every day and the lights were on, but apart from a local monkey and crows drinking water from it, no one used it. Breakfast is very modest. The chefs can't quite cook pan faces (thick) donuts. Somehow they are not friendly with the dough. A stove with one burner, you have to wait, but you managed to have breakfast in half an hour, dinner lasted longer. The waiters, as everywhere else, in southern countries do not strain themselves. Fruits: pineapples, watermelons are not very tasty, mangoes were not given every day. Once in 10 days there were vegetables with seafood and once with beef. But the protein: beans and peas, chickpeas are hard. Delicious fresh juices from pineapple, mango, passion fruit, papaya, mix. Delicious canned tuna. There were adequate guys working at the reception, helping with Wi-Fi and beach towels. There was always a water cooler there, unlike the beach, where it was absent. In general, according to the stories of tourists: the breakfast is better in Beach, the service is with us. sunbeds and sun loungers on the beach are a separate issue. Everything is torn and dirty. It was shameful and disgusting to rest on them. Many bought drinks or food from bars in nearby hotels and settled down there. I'll attach it here. The hotel guide Vladimir spoke beautifully and clearly about the excursions, helped us personally move from the barn to the Garden, but did not provide assistance to other less demanding tourists. With us, too, on the return transfer, in the absence of a car, he did not take decisive action; we found a car and a driver ourselves, and the company paid for the taxi. In general, life is according to the Hakuna Matata principle: have a roof, throw some food and be happy. A more attentive, dedicated and decisive guide to the hotel is needed. There are many problems at the hotel and tourists do not always speak the language to solve them. The girl at the reception in Beach is also no good. lucky are those tourists who were given the numbers from the pictures, but, mostly, guests face problems. I definitely won’t send my tourists here. The locals are very friendly and smiling, they speak several languages. There are 2 magicians nearby on both sides where you can change money. It is more profitable to pay in shillings.

Expensive hotel for what it offers, we arrived a day before the reservation we had, we wanted to book one more night to extend the vacation a little, in booking it said that there were rooms available for that night, when we arrived we explained the situation they told us that We have to pay $35, which is what it costs, (in booking it cost $22), when we pay $35 to sleep that night in the Tropical Garden, they take us to the one next door; Tropicana Beach, which is from the same company but more low cost, that hotel cost €16 a night, and it is not what we had paid. They took us to a room that was already open, the bed was not made, there were stains on the pillow and the bottom sheet, which was the only one that was full of orange stains, the bathroom without paper, without towels, and bushes of hair everywhere. We went down to the reception to tell them that this room is not the one we had paid for that night or for the next two days that we had reserved (since they wanted us to stay there for the entire reserved stay.), the girl at the reception with the cell phone everything For a while he didn't pay attention, he said to wait for the person in charge, they send us to the hotel bar to wait for the person in charge then they 'solve' the problem and give us a room in the Tropical Garden, the pool that overlooked our terrace was empty and we had to Go to the hotel next door to swim in the pool, the room smells musty and the beds are very hard, like sleeping on the floor, the bathroom is a little strange, the shower doesn't have a screen curtain or anything, when you shower you get all wet floor and the toilet and sink area stays wet all day (very unhygienic) since if you go in to wash your hands you wet your flip flops and wet the entire room, the breakfast is very poor, and always the same, don't expect to find bread, The girl at the bar was very lazy, she leaned on the bar all day and if you asked her for something she answered in a rude and half-hearted way. The bar for lunch and dinner has quite a variety and the food is not bad. But a few minutes away on the beach you have many very good and cheap Beach club style restaurants, the price you pay per night is quite expensive for what they offer. If my opinion is of any use, you have hotels at the same price with better qualities. (We have verified it)

В отеле много русских (но не 100%). Номера с выходом в сад - столик, стулья, сушилка, часть газона. Есть неглубокий бассейн. Садовник каждый день его чистит, а также следит за садом - поливает и подстригает кусты. В номере чайник, кофе/чай/сахар бутылка воды из кулера. Холодильник за дополнительные $10 на весь срок пребывания. Очень качественная уборка в номере каждый день, и вообще везде очень чисто. До пляжа 5 мин пешком, лежаки отельные есть, но нам они не понравились, лежали на полотенцах поближе к воде. Пляжные полотенца можно менять каждый день на ресепшене. Справедливости ради скажу, что ванная комната неуютная, но сантехника норм, напор воды хороший, освещение тоже, есть фен. Что касается еды, то завтраки довольно скромные - яичница или омлет на выбор каждый день, горячее меняется, но не всегда есть что-то с мясом, также нет свежих овощей, зато выпечки довольно много, включая блинчики. Из фруктов всегда арбуз. Из напитков сок плюс кофе/чай/молоко. А вот ужины просто великолепные! Вечером ресторан всегда полон - не только «свои», но приходят и со стороны многие, иногда даже столиков не хватает, но тут же приносят дополнительные и накрывают. За ужином всегда музыка из колонки, официанты веселые, гостям рады, шутят. Атмосфера приятная. Меню отличается: для тех, у кого ужины оплачены заранее - это выбор из нескольких позиций салаты/супы и основное блюдо (гриль, масала, пицца, паста) плюс фруктовая тарелка плюс сок/лимонад/вода. Гриль - это креветки/осьминог/тунец/дорада/курица или seafood mix (осьминог, тунец, кальмар), на гарнир рис или картофель фри + немного салата из овощей. Всё очень вкусно, не жирно, но сытно. Для тех, кто за наличные, меню другое, но цены приемлемые и, вроде, все тоже довольны). Персонал в отеле очень приветливый, все говорят на английском, а некоторые даже на русском. Пользуясь случаем, передаю привет Чокора, Флоре, Аиже, Кельвину! P.s. название ресторана «Шашлык- машлык»
