Jambiani Beach

Aquelia Rose Hotel

A lower-mid hotel a short way in from the beach, Aquelia Rose keeps things practical: a restaurant, balcony rooms, room service and a garden, for about US$74 a night. It rates 8.2/10 across 306 reviews. Good value for Jambiani, with bikes and cooking classes if you want to fill a day.
