The staff was friendly and always had smiles. They were very accommodating with the children even to the point of entertaining the kids (even the owner)! The price is excellent especially considering the fact that you are beach front. When the tide is in at night you fall asleep to the sound of the waves hitting the shore. Magnificent phosphorescence... More

A hidden gem, nicely isolated from bigger towns. Beautiful palm-tree coastline, very nice rustic accomodation and a cosy bar with a very good restaurant offering locally-caught seafood. Idyllic. It's a nice bus trip from Stonetown, too.

Evergreen is super chilled spot. Placed after Bwejuu, a bit out of main stream, makes it perfect hide away. There are few types of bungalows, depending on your preferences. I found all of them cute, either you wanna front row, back row, ground floor, open air style upper floor, etc. You have to understand that some things are simply "Zanzibar... More

In July 2011, three of us spent $80 per night for a second-floor room in a beach-front bungalow. Sleeping was not the most comfortable, as the mosquito nets had many holes, and the ocean breezes did not blow through as we thought they would. Use your bug spray at this place! We dined on premises the first night, and were... More

Friendly and helpful staff, great swahili style food. The beach is NOT a swimming beach as the tide goes out miles and the lagoon has many spiny urchins so as long as you are aware then you will not be disappointed. Not the place to go for anything else but relaxation and perhaps some scuba if the season is right.

We stayed 4 nights in Jan 2011. Make sure you negotiate the price We stayed in the beach front bungalows for $80 the couple next door was paying $70 and the couple below $100 for the same type of room. Pros: Beautiful view from the rooms on the beach, excellent food with different menu options everyday (it takes 1-2 hours... More

Spent two days there 2 weeks ago. I stayed in a ground level bungalow. It was clean and spacious, beds were uncomfortable but it is Zanzibar. Overpriced a little considering what you can find up and down the beach. The beach is not the greatest on this side of the island. Tide is out most of day. Better for tanning... More

It is very small resort, only few bungalows. Some of them has two levels (with roof room). Everything is solid and clean. Becouse of distance from StoneTown you must order you dishes day before, but food is very good. Place is very silent (only sea waves) and romantic. Definitly not for beach crazy people.

We stayed in an upstairs room which i thought was really sweet, the room was reallyspacious and the veiw from the balcony was great, with comfy furniature to chill on... More

We stayed at evergreen for 5 days,biggest problem was sweating at the nite time(synthetic mattresses bad choice for Zanzibar).Second problem- low tide every day and sea weed all over the place.So, if you are after beach holidays, that isn't the place. The best beaches are found in northern side, top of the Zanzibar, with practically no low tide effect. The... More
