Zanzibar Recommendations

Planning 6 days/5 nights in Zanzibar following a Kenya-Tanzania safari tour at the end of February. I'm a senior woman who will be traveling solo. Anyone visit fairly recently who can suggest Stone Town and beach accommodations (possibly Nungwi) that are a bit upscale without the "bubble feel" of 5 star places. I want local ambiance with safety and possibly a concierge who can assist with arranging transfers and possibly local small group tours.

Any/all suggestions are welcome. TIA

I was in Zanzibar in 2018. I stayed at the DoubleTree Hotel in the heart of Stone Town (Zanzibar City). It is apparently now the Park Hyatt Zanzibar on Shangani Street. It was a nice hotel, well located. It had a restaurant on the top floor with a great view and good food (no idea if that is still being operated).
