新婚旅行でXanadu Luxury Villas & Retreat Zanzibarに宿泊しました。ここでの体験は、私たちの人生で本当に忘れられないものになりました。 英語はあまり得意ではない私たちでしたが、各ヴィラには専属のバトラーが付き、滞在中のあらゆることをサポートしてくれたので安心して過ごせました。フローティングブレックファストやダウ船でのクルーズなど、アクティビティの場面でも常に寄り添い、細やかな気配りをしてくれて感動しました。 さらに、新婚旅行での利用だと伝えたところ、ヴィラをアップグレードしていただき、美しい飾り付けまで用意してくれて、特別な思い出になりました。 スタッフの温かいおもてなしのおかげで、心から幸せを感じる最高のハネムーンになりました。ザンジバルで特別な滞在を考えている方には、ぜひおすすめしたいリゾートです。
