Baraza – Our view

Luxury accommodation and overall good levels of food and service mean that Baraza gives the Breeze/Palms chain a great new product that opens up luxury resort style accommodation to the market. We are surprisingly impressed! There is no doubt that the beach here is one of the very best on Zanzibar and the activities on offer are probably the most diverse of any Zanzibar beach hotel. The result is a hotel that fits into the market for both families and luxury honeymooners… overall a welcome breath of fresh air to the hotels on the island!
