Paje Emerald Escapes — Hotel in Unguja

We recently recently went to Zanzibar and stayed at the Paje emerald escapes for 15 nights. The first week or so we stayed in the Casa Mia which was stunning and it was very nice to have someone who took care of all the admin and organised the cleaning staff for us. The house was amazing, everything worked, the only downsides being the lack of a cupboard in one of the rooms and not many cooking spices, both of which were nothing more than minor inconveniences. We then stayed the rest of our stay at Casa Cristiano which was equally as amazing. This Vila had a cupboard in both rooms so the only small problem was again the lack of cooking spices. Other than that the house had everything that we needed, with plenty of cutlery, crockery and all the appliances we needed. I really loved the placement of the Vila’s as they are walking distance from the shops and the beach, without being too public. There was also good wifi and a generator which was very helpful to keep the air conditioning on when there were power outages.

The owner has thought of this, and provided candles in the villa to make it a memorable experience. All in all, a beautiful place and we’ll...

Although I didn’t get the chance to book this accommodation, I had a very pleasant experience communicating with the host. He was extremely helpful, provided me with detailed information about the stay and the extra facilities he could offer, and always responded very quickly and kindly.

I truly appreciated his hospitality and professionalism. Since I can’t review the stay itself, my 5-star rating is based on the amazing communication and service I received.
