The Blue Oyster is a lovely hotel, well-run by a German family with helpful staff. Robert went out of his way to help me with a sim card. The hotel is right on the beach but also in the middle of the village. You can hear the waves splashing on the shore. The only downside is that you can only... More

We stayed here over Christmas 2011 and had an absolutely wonderful time. The place is small, cozy, quiet, friendly, and well-run, perfect for a relaxing beach vacation. The rooms and grounds were well-kept and cleaned every day, fresh towels provided daily, and we never ran out of hot water. But what really makes this place special is its staff. We... More

The Blue Oyster hotel is a wonderful hotel, fantastic ambiance and friendly staff. We are "flashpacker" travellers, so wanting to stay in nice places at affordable prices we asked for a discount on a room which they kindly obliged (we asked in person at the frontdesk). Blue Oyster has, by far, the best restaurant along the beach, with a variety... More

Jambiani is located on the southern east coast of Zanzibar, it is literally the end of the world - and a paradise for all who love tropical white sand beaches and the Indian Ocean. The Blue Oyster Hotel is just the right place to make this visit an unforgettable experience. The rooms and bathrooms are very clean and comfortable -... More

Great hotel! Incredible experience! Food also very good, better than in any restaurant along the Jambiani beach. The location is ideal, exactly on the beach so that during the night you can hear the waves splashing the sand. The beach itself is an incredible white sand strap spanning on app 5-6 km. There are no huge resorts on this beach,... More

We had a lovely stay here. Having just come from a safari, it was the perfect place to relax. The beach bed area was less than a metre from beautiful beach and turquoise waters. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Rooms were clean and food was good, although they could do with giving more options on the menu More

We will definitely never forget this trip and the hotel including all the people working there. We normally don't stay in hotels since we are preferring to have our own private house/apartments. However for our trip to Zanzibar we decided to stay in hotels around Zanzibar. First we stayed 2nights in Stone Town followed by a 2 day stay in... More

WOW! This is exactly what you see in postcards, Food is Great but they have to catch what you order so be patient . clean rooms slightly more then the other beach front hotels but sell cheap and worth it. Staff was Fantastic. No theft at all. don't worry about locking stuff up. Talk to Capt. Zappy he hangs around... More

Just an average, small hotel right on the beach. Our room was clean and spacious. It was strange to have a dinner there though. We had to choose what we want for dinner when having lunch. It was strange and not very tasty nor warm enough at the end. The bed absolutely squeaky - you can wake up your partner... More
