We booked an appartment at Tembo for a short stay in Stone Town for a family with 2 kids. The room was in a separate building on the other side of the street, but with access to all Tembo facilities. The room was exceptionally big, with huge comfortable beds, beautiful colourful windows and a very nice bathroom. Everything was very clean and well maintained. Airconditioning worked without any problems, wifi wasn't particularly strong but it worked fine as well. Breakfast was very nice, with a choice of pastries, fruit and freshly prepared eggs and pancakes. The staff was also very nice. The infinity pool with views of the beach is great!Parking in the heart of Stone Town is hard to find, so Tembo's private parking is really convenient.
