Blue Oyster Hotel in Jambiani

We stayed here for our honeymoon and had an unforgettable experience! The staff is incredibly friendly and always ready to help – they even insist on carrying your luggage for you.

The hotel is right on the beach, with a beautiful pool and a relaxing, peaceful vibe. Our room was cleaned daily with great care, and the hotel even surprised us with a lovely honeymoon setup – such a thoughtful touch!

The restaurant is excellent. Tip: if you want to try the chef’s special dishes for dinner, let them know about two hours in advance – it’s worth it!

Overall, a perfect place for couples or anyone looking for a relaxing beach getaway. Highly recommended! 🌴💛

Amazing holiday in Oasis! Very calm, clean, amazing staff - super friendly. Would definitely go back again anytime!

Remarquable stay in this wonderful hotel, on the beach, with view on the turquoise sea !
Excellent food with regularly changing menus.
Very friendly and smiley Team, with special thanks to Senzo, Caroline, Sarah, Rajab.

We (German family) spent a great week in the Blue Oyster Hotel:
- amazing views from the spacy rooms and balcony to the sea and nice garden with palm trees
- the pool and the relaxed atmosphere is very nice
- the breakfast and dinner was great

Best Hotel I have been to my entire life. Very friendly staff especially Sarah from the reception she never hesistated to help out whenever i needed something. The breakfast was really good, nice sea view and good food. Thank you!

We discovered Hotel Blue Oyster by chance after our original Airbnb didn’t work out. Our taxi driver recommended it, and although we were initially sceptical, it turned out to be a real gem and excellent value for money. We are a family of five and found the hotel to be warm, welcoming, and very comfortable. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-maintained, and the overall upkeep of the hotel is impressive. The pool is lovely, and the beach is beautiful – especially great for swimming at high tide. We had lunch at the hotel’s relaxed beach bar-style restaurant, and the food was excellent. The only area where there’s room for improvement is the breakfast – it was quite basic compared to the rest of the experience. That said, we enjoyed our stay so much that we returned for another two nights before our departure. We would definitely recommend Hotel Blue Oyster to families or anyone looking for a relaxed, affordable stay by the beach. They also have a 3-bedroom villa that looks ideal for larger families, though it was fully booked during our visit.

Very nice and casually luxurious vibe, but at an affordable price. The food and the staff are the standouts of the hotel. Excellent! There’s no pool and no aircon, so it’s not a five star category hotel. However the whole experience and particularly the people here, more than makes up for that.

We loved everything from this hotel.very nice hotel on the beach. Very clean rooms,very friendly and helpful staffs,delicious food and the location was fantastic.if you are looking for a calm hotel then this is the best choice. I must come back

This could be my favourite hotel ever. It's certainly the best value. I'm not a fan of resorts. I think they isolate you from the culture you've travelled halfway around the world to experience. Plus the money rarely benefits the local community. Blue Oyster is family owned. It is also committed to looking after the environment. So there's no air conditioning or pools. But that hardly seems necessary when you have sea breezes and the ocean to swim in. The hotel is right on the beach. The menu is constantly changing. The food is terrific and very fairly priced. And of course the staff are an absolute delight. I can not recommend this place highly enough.

We are from America and had the good fortune to stay at the Blue Oyster last year following a trip with friends to the Serengeti. It was a treat. When we found ourselves visiting Uganda this year I made a point to add 4 days at the end of our journey in Zanzibar at the Blue Oyster. Our stay did not disappoint! The property is intimate and absolutely lovely. The staff are competent and friendly and our stay was delightful. We just loved sitting on our balcony looking at the sea. We swam out front at high tide and enjoyed the view at low tide. The bed was comfy and the food delicious! The manager, Mr. Kishu, was extremely helpful. Both during planning our visit and helping with some airport snafu's which caused some change to our transportation arrangements. It is a looooong way from home but a place we hope to visit again. Definitely a highlight of our trip both years. BTW. don't miss an outing with Captain Zapy to sail the spectacular water and snorkle. Sally M.
