Villa Lala

"The place is amazing! A little piece of paradise! The villa is spacious and equipped well. Enough space in the shared areas for everyone, but also the rooms are big. The pool is cleaned daily (and if you need, the villa as well)! The owners and the staff were very nice and always friendly and helpful. The food was always delicious and fresh - you go next door at Poa Poa bungalows or you can order in the villa as well. There are also enough other places on the beach where you can eat, or you can cook in the villa, but no convinient grocery store nearby. The beach is beautiful especially in the mornings, there were some seaweed and sea urchins but overall it’s clean. There are local beach vendors but they are friendly and not pushy. I also recommend booking Zanzibar activities with the help of the villa, the guide they got for us was a professional and we had a great trip!"

"Not a big issue but some parts of the villa need more maintenance, like the upstairs rooms and their bathrooms. The wifi was slow."

"The location is great, right on the beach. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the restaurant was nice, serving a good selection of food which was presented well and tasted lovely. Villa Lala, which is part of Poa Poa Bungalows was very nice. The bed was huge and comfortable, there was ample storage space in the room and it was clean. The villas have a separate outdoor seating area with a pool and sun loungers to relax, which was very peaceful. There is also another pool next to the bungalows by the restaurant but we didn't use this. There are also private sun loungers on the beach. There was live music twice a week which was good. We were half board so didn't venture out much for food but there are a few other restaurants along the beach if you don't want to eat at Poa Poa."

"There wasn't really anything we didn't like about the villa. The only thing that bugged us was that we couldn't walk along the beach during the day without getting stopped by some of the locals trying to sell us things. On our first day, we were approached by a friendly man who told us all about the trips we could go on, which we were interested in doing so he left us to think about it so we could decide which ones to book the next day. Shortly after, another guy wanted us to book trips with him and others were trying to sell bracelets and keyrings, etc. They are all in competition with each other, all trying to get some work and make a bit of money, which is understandable and fair enough. We ended up booking 3 day trips with 3 different people to try and help a few people out. They are all friendly enough people but can be very persistent when you try to say no. It did get a bit annoying when we were just trying to relax and constantly being disturbed. We tried to stick to the pool area by the villa rather than use the sun loungers on the beach but once they knew where we were staying, as soon as we came out of the gate to go to the restaurant or go in the sea, they seemed to be there waiting for us."

"The property has a good sea view. Double room sea view has a personal balcony with good views."

"Net is slow. Room was somehow ok."

"The Villa is stylish and clean. There are two small pools on the territory which makes it perfect to cool downs when the tides in the ocean are high. The personal is very attentive and well trained. The food in the restraint is delicious!"

"Location, nice romantic restaurant in the Poa Poa Bungalows with the tasty food, the staff was very friendly."

"Squeaky bed, old sockets and switches, but it was nevertheless value for money. You should also ask for Poa Poa Bungalows when you look for the property. Otherwise the people don’t really know Villa Lala and we were confused for a few moments that we came to the wrong or not existing place."

"Fantastic place! Well equipped and beautiful villa with cozy pool right in the front of the ocean. We stayed 5 nights, but this was not enough and we were sad to leave. Very friendly and helpful host and staff. Nice breakfast. I would definitely visit it again."

"Everythink was fine. The hotel is boutique style. For those who need peace and privacy. For people who don't like it resorts and AL. The staff is very nice and helpful. Food in restaurant was perfect, very tasty and fresh."

"All was good"
