We had, as usual, a wonderful time in Zanzibar. The handling of all our travel was perfect, we were collected on time from the airport and received without any issues at Coral Rock. Coral Rock again proved a perfect laid back getaway with the staff remembering us from last year and showing their joy with hugs and greetings.  
We did not get the "new" rooms which we were expecting, but settled in to what we were given without any problems (this would probably be an issue with folk who thought they had secured certain rooms, especially those who have been to CR before).  
There are certainly areas which could still be improved upon i.e. the breakfasts are still very bland and the "out of stocks" of common drinks could also prove an irritation to those who lack patience. I would so love to be given the job of sorting out the "little issues" which would turn CR into an even more amazing venue like renewing all the bed linen which has now seen it's day as have the mattresses, increasing the size of the kitchen so that the food comes out more speedily, etc. But saying all that Florina, the place has a special spot in our hearts and sometimes change makes destinations like these just like "all the others" - we go there because it's so laid back and we always feel as though we've been away for months so perhaps it's the kwirky uniqueness that gets into our hearts and souls, not to mention the incredible beauty of the place. Neil Cave, the owner, is an amazingly helpful, kind person whose main aim is to make the guests feel at home and to do whatever it takes to ensure that they have an unforgettable time.  
Thank you Florina for the follow-up - you will be hearing from us again and too from other relatives who have seen the pictures and are already planning to go next year.
