How to avoid nasty surprises
Ask for the exact duration, the oil used and whether service is included; book the slot the day before in high season. One traveller review mentions a dispute over two massages at a Nungwi hotel: keep the price confirmation in writing. If you have an allergy, say so beforehand.
Another wellness idea
An excursion centred on aromatic plants and a wellness workshop exists, see the herb garden for context.
