Misali Island : locations de vacances

Just back from a lovely 6 night stay at Pemba Moonlight. It is a great place and Said and his family have put so much effort into the place. The bungalows are comfortable but occasionally the showers are a bit average. To be fair, the water supply to the whole area has been very patchy since the main water pipe burst so all water has to be tankered in. Breakfasts are good and we ate there every evening when we had a home cooked meal provided by Said's wife. On our last day we went on a visit to Tumbe fish market and bought 2 large red snapper fish and Said cooked them perfectly for us. Said was so helpful in organising some trips for us. He personally took us to the spice farm nearby and then on to Wete to see the flying foxes take off into the air at sunset. Definitely a trip to do. Another trip worth doing is the forest walk in the rain forest, the trip to the Fish market, Vimawimbi beach and finally the Seaweed ladies who make seaweed soap in the village very close by the guesthouse. The beach which is about 200m from the guest house has really good snorkelling (you have to swim out quite far to about level with the Manta Underwater hotel room) but when you get there the coral and fish are absolutely superb. There is no regular wifi at Said's but for a one off $5 charge, the nearby Ayiana hotel will put their password into your phone so you can use their's as much as you want. We went there for cocktails and/or beers and sometimes also used their infinity pool and they were super friendly. Sadly the Manta resort does not allow any non-residents to enter its grounds and is positively unfriendly to all locals and tries to stop them going on its beachfront. Such a shame really but what is Manta's loss is Ayiana and Pemba Moonlight's gain. If you want a good value authentic local guesthouse experience then go to Pemba Moonlight.

Nous sommes restés 2 semaines ici, au milieu d’un vrai paradis. Nous ne comprenons pas la publication de commentaires 100% négatifs de personnes qui y sont restés que 3 jours. Ils ne peuvent pas se faire une opinion correcte. Vous logez « chez l’habitant » et Said transforme cet endroit tranquille avec les moyens modestes. Tous les autres établissements de cette plus belle partie de l’île sont des gros hôtels très chers. De la plage de sable blanc fin quasi déserte, située à 200m, vous avez accès à un site de snorkeling protégé exceptionnel. Après une partie profonde vous avez une large barrière de corail protégée avec une multitude de couleurs d’invertébrés et des poissons de toutes tailles. Nous y étions seuls alors qu’aux spots proposés en bateau à Zanzibar il y avait 10 bateaux et 50 personnes dans l’eau. Les bungalows, individuels et privatifs, offrent un équipement de base mais correcte et un bon petit déjeuner offert !! Merci Said
