Dining reservations
Reservations required: Namaste. Other reservation rules are unverified; confirm before booking. Buffet Restaurant: Current official page includes main buffet under booked AI; actual buffet name/owned/shared count differs from earlier Makuti/Bataar directory, kept qualified. Namaste: Current official page explicitly includes Namaste for Zanzibar Bay AI guests, reception reservation required. Not proof of inclusion on B&B/Half Board. Paradise Beach Resort Restaurant: Current Zanzibar Bay page permits lunch/dinner at sister Paradise’s AI restaurant. Shared access, not an owned Zanzibar Bay venue or permission for every non-AI rate. Jetty Bar: Current official directory confirms identity; selected house-drink plan applies. Exact premium list/opening times unprinted. Official Beach Safari page lists Makuti Buffet Restaurant, Namaste, Mongolian Wok Bataar and four bars including the Jetty Bar. Current guide confirms included Namaste with reception booking and sister Paradise lunch/dinner access. Older supplier PDF distinguishes B&B/HB/FB/AI and paid on-site Premium; no universal AI for all bookings. Earlier Makuti/Bataar identity and three-owned-restaurant total not reconciled; no sister room data imported.
Single accommodation capacity
Largest confirmed capacity: 3 people in one accommodation. Standard Room. Adult limit unverified.
