    The hotel was nicely designed, great services provided, ideal location on the beach at night due to the tide. Location: the property was adjacent to a very good restaurant and the wonderful lagoon of Jambiani. And it's within walking distance of Bahari Pizza Restaurant, ate there once or twice.

    I recently stayed at the Blue Oyster hotel for a relaxing beach getaway. The staff was incredibly friendly and professional, making my stay even more enjoyable. The hotel's location right on the beach was perfect, and I loved being able to easily access the beautiful shoreline. The dinner options at the hotel were delicious, with a variety of dishes to choose from. Additionally, the facilities were comfortable, and the bed was especially amazing. I had a fantastic experience at the Blue Oyster hotel.

    I do recommend this hotel.

    I recently had an incredible stay at Blue Oyster in a perfect location in Amsterdam! From the friendly and helpful staff to the amazing food and drinks, everything was top-notch. The room was luxurious, and I especially loved the fact that we were able to upgrade for free and enjoy a late checkout. It truly felt like a 5-star hotel experience, and I would highly recommend it.

    Everything exceeded my expectations – it was exactly what I needed and wanted! 👌.

    Staffs are great and the rooms are big, clean, and comfortable. the sea view is amazing and the food is delicious. the hotel is nicely designed and the best part is the breakfast, which is the best we had during our entire trip in Zanzibar.

    The only inconvenience was the restaurant for dinner. You have to place your order in advance and the waiters can be a bit slow.

    The location, right in front of the beach, provided a fine view and a perfect spot for relaxation. The staff at Blue Oyster were friendly, cute, and always ready to help.

    Food for breakfast could be improved by offering homemade jams and hot sauce without preservatives.
