Fodor's Expert Review The Z Hotel

Nungwi is known as the central party-'til-dawn area of Zanzibar, with a swath of white beach sand that is filled to the brim with stylish sun seekers, the young, and the young at heart. If you're looking to take full advantage of the jovial atmosphere without the traditional resort-style accommodation, the Z, with its beachfront glamour and funky, contemporary style is the place for you. Set amid tropical gardens, each of the quirky wallpapered rooms come with modern amenities like Wi-Fi, iPhone docking stations, a TV, and air-conditioning. A quick meander around the property takes you to two on-site restaurants and the upstairs cocktails sundowner lounge; you can have a gourmet dinner on the beach or a more casual brassier lunch on the deck.

No cash, only credit card payments at the property.
