I'm sorry it's taken me a month (exactly!) to get back to you.
Memories of Zanzibar are not long forgotten, we had a wonderful time. I thought I was in paradise, the sand pure white, the sea a perfect turquoise and warmth all day and all night. I think I should go back there right now!
We loved Unguja Lodge, everything about it. It's rustic charm, the tray of tea and biscuits every morning, the decor, the owners it was amazing. We got to swim with dolphins which our daughter thought amazing.
When we moved on to The Palms it was raining, in fact we had rain for the last 3 days, one day for most of the day. Although it was still warm we were rather trapped inside! On arriving at The Palms we were told we were the only guests and it was quite lonely and no people watching to do either. I have to say that the food was amazing and on the last night they asked us to write our own menu which was lovely, we really chose items they had already made for us. The staff were lovely and obviously very attentive. However we preferred Unguja Lodge, we missing the open air shower and the monkeys coming to steal our clementines (and scaring Katie on one occasion forcing her to look herself in the toilet!) and didn't really like all the mod cons of aircon, a kettle etc!
After 4 days in Zanzibar we were itching for something more active to do. There is only so much reading, sleeping, snorkelling, eating etc we can do. It was certainly too hot for tennis and we're not divers. We will go back but we will go for 3 or 4 days after a safari to unwind and we'll definitely stay at Unguja and we'll take supplies for the local school.
So we'll be in touch when we're planning our next trip.
Hope you had a good Christmas and New Year and you're enjoying the recent weather?!
Regards
Kerry
