Flame Tree Cottages are located right on the beautiful white sand Nungwi beach on the Indian Ocean on the Northern tip of Zanzibar Island.

Pretty good location and quick response from owners when needing to check on availability. However room wasn't quite up to par as there was an dubious brown mark on the wall, the bed coverlet was stained and there was a dead baby roach under the sheets.

Their English was not very impressive, and smiles were rare. We had prepaid dinner everything night, but ended up eating one of four another... More
