Breeze Residence Apartments

BREEZE RESIDENCE APARTMENTS REVIEW (aka Crow Residence) If you are looking for a place where a family of resident crows LOUDLY screech and squawk annoyingly from before sunrise to after sundown; if you are looking for a place next to a primary school where children screech and scream throughout some school days and some evenings until 21:00, if you are looking for a “resort” where you must walk 300 meters through garbage strewn streets and alleys, including 83 stairway steps down to access the beach; if you enjoy sleeping on a concrete “soft” mattress; if some days you enjoy the sound of the neighbors’ power saws cutting stone for hours; if you love to languish in boxy, hardwood, spartan-like, uncomfortable furniture; if you are happy preparing your meals in a poorly equipped kitchen, if you are easily fooled by well staged website photographs; if your idea of a “fitness center” is a punching bag, an ancient bicycle and two home-fashioned, concrete in plastic-bottle barbells; if you don’t mind struggling with EVERY poorly fitted door in the suite that needs to be wedged, jimmied, tugged, or slammed........ then the Breeze (Crow) Residence is the ideal place for you to spend your hard earned relaxation time and money. The name “Breeze” may be misleading; no actual “breeze” seemed to reach our suite. If you are looking for a lower priced place to stay on Zanzibar, this may be the place for you. Do not set your expectations high, you will be disappointed. There are two restaurants in the immediate area (one is closed on Mondays). A few items on the positive side; the pool and courtyard are nice areas, the air conditioner worked in the bedroom (thank goodness) and the Tanzanian staff are all courteous and hospitable.

I have a great time with my son in an amazing styled appartement. The service of the manager was excellent (Solomon), the other people in the residence lovely and the masai security friendly and helpfull. Try out the italian restaurant in la Pili. I absolutely recommend this place!! many thanks Rianne

Both residences "The Breeze" and "The Pili" are managed by the same people. I can recommend both as got a chance to spend time in both. Everything is by far more than OK there (rooms, pool, fitness zone, tour packages...) but the biggest advantage is the level of hospitality and flexibiity you can expect there from the Residence team side. It can definetly make your holiday even more comfortable. Thank you Alessandro, Solomon, Massai team :)

Ottimo alloggio l’ampio appartamento Villa Mara, affacciato - come gli altri - su un bel giardino tropicale con una graziosa piscina. La costruzione in stile zanzibarina, col bellissimo tetto di foglie di palma, è semplice ma spaziosa e confortevole (ottimi letti). Colazione e cena nel residence, non molta scelta ma qualità più che soddisfacente (no alcol)).

Una struttura adattissima ad una vacanza con amici o in famiglia in un contesto per quanto mi riguarda “paradisiaco “. Completamente immersa nel verde la piscina al centro del complesso è molto accogliente e rilassante . Ci sono appartamenti di diverse tipologie e sono tutti molto accoglienti , ma io ho alloggiato nell’appartamento “VILLA CRI” che è su due piani … il primo super funzionale arredato benissimo e con i confort necessari … Ma la parte sopra ha una vista pazzesca … da lì si può vedere la vera è magica Africa … consiglio a tutti veramente Il Breeze ha anche un’ottima posizione riguardo la spiaggia ….Kiwengwa … vi lascera’ senza fiato

Abbiamo soggiornato 13 giorni in questa struttura tipica, accogliente a pochi passi dal mare cristallino. Gestione italiana Nicola e Alle attenti a tutto. Pulizia perfetta. Buon punto di partenza per visitare l’isola con le escursioni organizzate da Salomon. Possibilità di cenare il villaggio al ristorante italiano. Bellissima cena africana con spettacolo masai. Tutto perfetto! Ho lasciato un pezzo di cuore a Zanzibar
