Find the Cheap Paje Hotels

Dhow Inn is located in the heart of Paje. We loved that we could walk out to the beach and take a walk on this beautiful sandy beach. The beach offers lots of options for restaurants, cafes and bars as well as excursion options from different operators. The hotel’s location makes it a convenient base for all your adventures. Accommodations: The room offered comfortable beds, clean linens, and private balcony with a private pool/spa. The room was also equipped with a safe, coffee maker, and the pool with lounges and umbrellas was right Infront of the room. Amenities: Dhow Inn offers 3 swimming pools providing a refreshing retreat after a day of exploring. The hotel also has a gym and spa for those who can't miss a workout. Dining: We really liked the buffet style dining with many options to choose from including salads, sandwiches, fruits, hot options, deserts, juices, tea and coffee. The restaurant also offers a la carte dining, but must be reserved the day before. We really enjoyed dinner time show by local acrobats. Service: The staff at Dhow Inn Hotel were genuinely friendly and attentive. They were always eager to assist with any requests or recommendations, making us feel valued and welcomed throughout our stay.

If you want to have a peaceful and relaxing vacation, avoid this hotel at all costs. I stayed there in January 2023 with family and friends. We had already stayed at the Cristal Resort Hotel twice before and we decided to go back again because of the nice location and what used to be ’friendly’ staff. On our 5th night, before we went to bed I checked the door and all of the windows of our ECO bungalow to be sure they were completely locked and secure. In the morning, we woke up to discover that we had been robbed while my parents and I were asleep. The window from the bathroom was wide open and our phones, money (thousands) and 2 bags were gone. We immediately informed the hotel management about this but their only concern was why we had not put our money in the safe box. The answer is very simple- we usually use the safe box when we are out of the room, not while we were asleep. Beyond the fact that someone was in our room while we were asleep, imagine how worse things could have been had we woken up while the thief/thieves were still in the room. The hotel has a huge security problem and they know it very well. In order to open a closed sliding window they must have had a premeditated plan or system to be able to open it successfully from the outside... and not to have any security guards in that area at night is just outrageous. In hindsight I am pretty sure we were being observed. It had all been planned very well and they knew everything in order to succeed - who had the money of the group, where we were sleeping, everything. In the morning, we called the police and after they finally came, out of nowhere, one of the hotel staff called us to show us that they had found our backpacks without any money in them of course. We found our phones inside one of the backpacks without our SIM cards in them and after we switched them on we saw on the Steps App that our things had been stolen at 3 am in the morning and that the thief/thieves only took just 78 steps and stopped right near the fence of the hotel. The police was trying to play things down by saying that we were so lucky we got our phones back. A few hours later, I received a message from the hotel manager saying precisely this: --- I spoke with our broker and I checked our insurance. It covers things like cameras, phones and laptops but not money, because the issue of money is very complex. --- This is another reason that led us to believe that the hotel staff was involved. What an unbelievable coincidence! We only retrieved the things that were not covered by their insurance- our phones. On top of that, they also had the appalling audacity to say that we needed to wait for the police investigation as they needed to find out whether this had happened for real or not, because according to them, nothing actually proved that somebody had robbed us and that we could have orchestrated the whole thing ourselves...Great! They were also putting pressure on us to stop this scandal because

We were pleasantly surprised by this location - loved it. From the moment you walked in, it was like an oasis! Luxuriant vegetation, a good pool, and nice place to relax around it. The rooms were much bigger than expected. The decoration was a perfect combination between boho chic and minimalist. The roof was the restaurant which was amazing. Loved the food! Even tough we chose the same breakfast almost every day, the avocado never got old :))). Dinner was always on top and had really good options. The vegetarian options surprised us in a very good way! Staff was very attentive and helpful! Now to our hosts - the Zanzibarista team - the were very very helpful, form the start, when we started looking for options in Zanzibar. It made it in the end easy to choose them. After, constantly giving us the needed infos, tips and tricks. On site, all of our expectations were met and above. We even had do visit the ER due to a health condition and Alex was so nice and helped us with the entire process.
