What Time of year did you go?
past few times, i've gone in winter for work.
to add, the chinese influence is pretty pronounced. i saw a group of laborers within five minutes of leaving the airport. my hotel downtown was also in proximity of new chinese building developments.
a 4 or 5 star hotel there with views of the city will cost you about $130 - $200 per night. i was at the hyatt regency and it was ~$180 per night. you can definitely find excellent amenities for about $100 in the city proper, though or less.
honestly, if you're out there, though... makes sense to go straight to zanzibar. beaches there are next level.
