“Al Johari's heart lies in its attentive staff, especially General Manager Mr. Sushant Behera, who seems to curate a uniquely personal stay. Set within a restored Stone Town building, its rooftop views make a lasting impression. I'd recommend a massage with Maryam at the spa, many guests praise her skilled and welcoming touch.”
